Katie Martin Tribute 2018 at Torrey Pines

Post by jmendoza »

A gathering of Hobie Hawks and other eagles. Bob Martin, at his wife's Katie request, bought the tooling for the Hobie Hawk and produced 2400 of them over 4 years. Every year, we meet at Torrey Pines and bring our Hobie Hawks to celebrate Katie's wonderful life, now that she has taken her final flight. You can see my red and white and all orange Hobies, and t the bottom left is Otto's Hawk in "Kraft" colored trim. I counted 40 Hobie Hawks this year and we got over 25 in the group photo.

Out of place is the little Jr. Skylark Otto built for me with less dihedral and ailerons, he says it flies great but I have yet to fly it.

It was a blast. There were a handful of Vintage radios there too. Otto flew his on a Kraft 3 channel. Jay flew a 70's vintage Aritronics. I flew the 70's Royal and Aero Sport you can see in the top right of the photo. I saw an 80's Futaba Single Stick also.

Thanks for posting the photo Jay :)
