Gone to fly in the big airshow in the sky!

**Kitman** · 01-31-2006, 10:52 AM

The hobby lost a true RC hero last night!!! Jim Hubbard of Jinx Hobbies, Findlay Ohio join the Big Airshow Team in the sky at 6:30pm last night!

Jim loved the hobby, he was a prominent member of the Spirit of America Show Team, he flew Giant airplanes before we ever thought about it, longtime member of the Findlay flying club, devoted husband, father and loving grandfather.

I lost a mentor and good friend!

Godspeed Jim Hubbard

I'm at a loss for words. I had not heard this before now. My thoughts and well wishes are with his family. Jim will be dearly missed.

Thanks Greg, Jim was a pioneer and a fun loving guy. He truly got the hobby. Sorely missed,

Jim was truly one of the best RC guys around. When I got back in the hobby 15 years ago, he kept me up when I felt like quitting. He knew so much about the hobby and it's history.

I will miss Jim...
