Construction of the National Center for Aeromodelling was completed in time for moving in over the weekend of February 19–20.

The National Center for Aeromodelling will house a museum, library, visitors' center, AMA headquarters, and the Model Aviation magazine editorial offices. A Grand Opening will be planned later, when weather permits landscaping of the grounds and there is time to set up the museum, library, and visitors' center.
