Welcome to the Mississinewa Skyhawks club website!
You have stumbled upon an active club who loves to fly and promote flying of radio controlled aircraft. Why not spend a few minutes navigating through our pages and see for yourself!

The Mississinewa area teems with wildlife! During quieter moments you may find yourself sharing the field with deer or turkeys. But if you see crappie, you're probably not at the field.
Somebody put a model airfield here?
Yep - sure did! We kinda' like the look of nature but if the sight of trees gives you the willies, we might suggest checking out our sister club over at the Converse airport (converseeagles.org).

January Picture of the Month
Member Ron Dale preps his Flutter-By for a short field take-off during the Jan 1 SnowFlake Fly.
February Picture of the Month
Indoor combat? Yep. Take some otherwise mild-mannered pilots and make them endure one long winter and combat is bound to break out. Think maybe a repeat might occur at March Madness? We'll have streamers just in case!
Notice Skyhawk Members!
Next meeting is Feb 4, 11am at the Converse gym to prepare for March Madness!
E-fly to follow!
March Picture of the Month
One of the advantages of attending a swap meet with an indoor fly afterwards: a chance to watch one of the new birds fly. Here, a vendor hovers the E-flite UMX Extra 300 as he puts her through her paces after March Madness.
April Picture of the Month
One unlucky pilot of last year's SSC match left a plane to roost in a tree over the winter. Looks like he will be well prepared for May's Open B club combat match!
May Picture of the Month
Steve Eagle prepares for another flight of his 1/3rd scale Nieuport 17. Steve took 3rd place in static at Toledo then won Sportsman Class at Mint Julep.
June Picture of the Month
June lies smack dab between two popular holidays for warbirds so it should be little surprise to find one buzzing the field on just about any weekend.
July Picture of the Month
Charlie Vermilion prepares for another C/L flight with help from Kaleb and Tyler Worl. Nothing like getting dizzy on a hot summer day!
August Picture of the Month
Pilots usually prefer to avoid other aircraft when aloft - except in combat! It didn't take long for a furball to develop during the Aug 13 club SSC combat match.
September Picture of the Month
Carl Moon preps a canard model for a tour of Mississinewa sky. A check of the 'About Us' tab will reveal Carl with another strange plane proving there's no tellin' what you'll see flying at Mississinewa!
October Picture of the Month
Rodney Deshong's beautiful scale McDonnell Douglas MD 500 Defender takes to the sky at Mississinewa.
