Hello:
I have been on the lookout for an extra Hobie fuse for my set of 10ft wings for
a long time. Found one on EBay - got it all cleaned up, painted, new canopy,
etc I got the wings out and the wing rod UHHG - the brass
insert in fuse is about 3/64 too small. I do not think th

I just spotted a
hobie hawk on ebay, and thought I'd pass it on. it's item # 3156383820 .
I know guys still go
crazy over 'em - I've seen them sell for $400 and $500, which to ME is nuts,
considering I can get a new moldie for a couple of hundred
more.

I dont get it..the Hobie Hawk is one of the worst flying planes ever
designed. The Windfree from that same age blows it away.

I have an almost NIB Hobie Hawk ARF Yellow in all original packaging with
some original documentation, and a spare fuse. I purchased all of this last
year from a hobby store that was closing with this plane sitting in his
basement for several years. One fuse had had a radio installed while the

Thanks for the warm welcome to the site. I have had a few requests
for Hobie canopies from members so if you need one I can make PET-G
clear plastic replacements. Cost is $10 plus $5.50 priority shipping.

Hi guys. I am a Hobieholic..Can anyone else relate?? I started
flying R/C sailplanes when I was 16 years old and the Hobie Hawk was
at it's tail end of production by Hobie Alter. I was just in High
school and always wanted one since I saw one fly at the 1976 USHGA
Hang Gliding championship

There is an original Hobie Hawk on Ebay. It appears to
be very nice looking. If you have been looking for a
Hobie, this one might be for you. Current price is
$255.

Be a little cautious when first launching your Hawk on a winch. They tend to
roll a lot unless you've made the one important mod to it. Don't start with
lots of line tension and make sure you have lots of rudder throw.
The mod is to add a 2-3 sq. in fin to the vertical stabilizer.

Hey now,
I've never seen a hobie go up a winch, mine's got a hook on it but
I've only been on a winch once(with my oly and someone else ran it) so I
don't know what's up with that. Maybe next year I'll join svss and learn
how to use a winch...

After years of lusting after a Tx with expo, I finally got one. And find that I don't
like expo. It feels just plain "mushy" to me. I've ended up using dual rates to tame
the stick response.

That is true, Jim, and the Hobie Hawks are no doubt worth every cent. I was
commenting more on the Feeding Frenzy on eBay than anything else.
My current projects are refurbishing an old Windfree and an Oly 99. I've even gone to
the extent of getting an empty Kraft Brick case and making a func
Hey now,
Last spring I bought a used hobie hawk (orig) from the guy who
taught me u/c back in the sixties. nothing realy wrong with it, some
cracked paint on the fuse, but the thing is in plenty good shape, although
the covering is a bit brittle. The guy wanted $125 for it, I offered $100

Yes I checked and I do have an uncovered left side
Hobie Hawk wing.
I also have a complete Hobie Hawk that I'm planing to
fly again too.
E-mail me to convince me to part from the extra left
one ;-)
