The start of my RC flying page.

1975 in Malibu. My Hobie Hawk Fleet

Plane in foreground has 10 foot wings

The second one back has spoilers and a 3rd servo

Plane 3 was custom built by Hobie with half the ABS in the nose, half as much glass in the tail cone for lighter plane.

The last plane is an AstroFlite ASW-17. I went to the factory and weighed all the wing kits.

The hill behind my house was the flying field by Pepperdine.

More Hobie Hawks.

This was before changeable radio crystals. If someone was flying on the same frequency you had to take turns. Each plane had its own radio on different frequencies. If there was a conflict, I just flew another plane.
