Re: [RCSE] Hobie Hawk - Rebirth?

[James V. Bacus]

I think it's more of a collectable model than most.  It really was well 
ahead of its time.  I like to display mine it the hangar, they are very 
recognizable and even non-sailplane people know the Hobie name.

I've collected many over the years, and I am the proud owner of two very 
rare 10' versions, both are NIB, never been flown or radio gear 
installed.  I have an orange one that I'll fly, a very interesting model to 
fly.  Fun to mess around with, I'd like to try one on the slope.

With the popularity of Hobie Hawk kits often bringing in more than 300 
dollars on eBay, why has no one picked up the design and re-marketed it?
