National Model Aviation Museum

Aeromodeling helped change the world of aviation. Explore how at the National Model Aviation Museum. Together the museum holdings, divided into three groupings- the object collection, archives, and library materials- tell the story of model aviation, and the people involved. These stories include everything from early attempts at flight in the 18th century, the development of the three types of model aviation- Free Flight, Control Line and Radio Control- and the high-tech, electronic ready-to-fly kits available today.
