Narrative:

Aircraft X reported southwest of tmb; inbound to land runway 27L. At about 5 southwest of tmb; the pilot reported that there was a small; red; remote control (rc) type aircraft flying in the vicinity of the canal; above his altitude. The pilot stated that he had to change his altitude and that he observed the aircraft flying up and down repeatedly. The pilot joined the downwind for runway 27L and landed safely. Advise owners of rc aircraft not to fly so high especially near the vicinity of a training area for student pilots.
