RADIO CONTROL GIANTS 2003/07

DURING WORLD War I and since, the developed nations of the
world have exploited the use of bombers in every conceivable
configuration for many specialized missions. Before and during

RADIO CONTROL GIANTS - 2005/02

TO FOLLOW UP on my October 2004
column, the Santa Barbara Radio Control
Modelers club has completed and
successfully flown its 1⁄4-scale Loughead F-
1 Flying Boat. Club members have been
building this flying replica for the past
seven years as a public-service project for
the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum.
The museum wants to preserve a
rendition of the famous Loughead brothers’
successful F-1 Flying Boat that was first
constructed in Santa Barbara in 1918. It has
provided the funding for the construction,
while club members have donated their
labor. The model has an 18.5-foot upper
wingspan, and the fuselage is 9 feet long.
