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 functional "brick" using
modern servos and Rx.
See, I'm as insane as the rest...

I have 5, one with 10 ft wings I fly and love those hobies' (landings).
I wonder how many of the present $600 to $1200 ships that some people lust
after will bring $660 TWENTY FIVE +++++ years from now. OR for that
matter, who will even remember that they existed???? IMHO
just a thought. Also, seems to me that many of these new $700 ships use a
lot of Hobie Alter's OLD catamaran/surfboard technology.
