Mark Smith (R/C modeling pioneer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mark Smith (c. 1950 - ) was a pioneer in radio-controlled model aviation. The son of Rod Smith, an early inventor of R/C equipment, Mark began building hand-launch gliders in the 6th or 7th grade. In his teens he followed his father's footsteps into R/C gliders. He later went on to designing R/C gliders where his 100-inch-wingspan Windfree was a best-seller for decades. In the early 1970s he built radio-controlled seagulls for the 1972 movie Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
