Loughead F1 Model Airplane

Public flight of the 1918 Loughead F1 1/4 scale replica airplane. Built by the Santa Barbara Radio Control Modellers. Goto sbrcm.org for more info.

Here is a clarification on the name confusion. Allan and Malcolm were born with the surname Loughead. Victor changed his surname to Loughead shortly after his mother remarried. Americans had trouble pronouncing the name properly so the family changed the spelling to Lockheed. However, this happened after they moved from Santa Barbara. So "Loughead" is the correct name for this plane, but most people are familiar with the Americanized name and companies, "Lockheed".
