The Academy of Model Aeronautics recently awarded the Wolverine Skyhawks with a $75 Club Recognition and Reward Grant. The club was featured in The Cedar Springs Post on July 19, 2016. The Skyhawks held their annual remote-controlled airplane show in conjunction with the Cedar Springs Library's summer reading program. The crowd of about 150 enjoyed a show put on at the club's field, including 16 year old Jace "the Ace" Dussia. Jace is an XFC 3D Aerobatics champion and has been flying since he was seven years old. The club also gave away a remote controlled airplane system, won by 14 year old Kerissa Basso. [caption id="attachment_2867" align="alignright" width="288"]
