Founded in 1990, the Blacksheep RC Modelers is located near Danville, Indiana and has been a Gold Leader Club since 2003. Their flying field is located on land owned, and rented to them, by Waste Management, with whom they have a wonderful relationship with, as well as with the rest of their local community. Their National Model Aviation Day celebration is an annual highlight, and thanks to the hard work put into that event, the Blacksheep RC Modelers have been able to donate nearly $10,000 to the local Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation. Trainer days are held for local youth groups, volunteer time is donated to local community programs, and this summer, the Blacksheep will be helping out with the Greencastle, IN EAA Young Eagles with a program to help their youth group build and learn to fly RC.
