The Academy of Model Aeronautics and National Model Aviation Museum are honored to be a part of Minnetrista Cultural Center\u2019s<\/a> \u201c25 Weird and Wonderful Reasons to Love Our Community\u201d <\/a>exhibit celebrating Minnetrista\u2019s 25th anniversary.<\/p>\n

The exhibit features 25 mini-exhibits about places and things around Muncie and surrounding communities.\u00a0 These top 25 were chosen after a year of surveying residents to find out what they like best about living here.\u00a0 Other places showcased in the exhibit include the Cardinal Greenway<\/a>, the world\u2019s largest ball of paint<\/a>, Pizza King<\/a>, and Lowery\u2019s candies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The AMA\u2019s mini-exhibit features five model airplanes, pictures of the AMA, and a flight simulator.\u00a0 The models all were chosen because of their colorful and fun nature, as well as their ability to explain model aviation to novices.\u00a0 The models are: Ted Patrolia\u2019s Cobra FF model, Luther Hux\u2019s RC model skydiver Chris, Ronald Sears\u2019 CL Boeing Stearman PT-17, Gail Jacobson\u2019s RC Pylon Racer Little Toni and a RC hot air balloon designed and flown by Norman Hupp.<\/p>\n

The completed exhibit is a quirky and condensed look at what makes living in Muncie a unique experience.\u00a0 It is up until March 2014, so if you get a chance, you should visit. Then go find a good pork tenderloin sandwich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
