This led to the identification of 11 objects. We present here the results of the analysis of these images from which we derive the properties of their host galaxies. All objects are clearly resolved and their surrounding nebulosity is consistent with an elliptical galaxy model. These new data, together with previous published HST observations, form a sample of 34 sources which significantly expands all previous studies of low redshift RLQ based on HST data. For this full sample we derive the average absolute magnitude of the host galaxies MR = ?24.01±0.48, and the effective radius Re = 10.5±3.7 kpc. No significant correlation is found between the nucleus and the host galaxy luminosity. Using the relationship between black hole mass (MBH) and bulge luminosity we investigate the relation between MBH and total radio power for RLQ and compare with other classes of radio sources. The overall distribution of AGN in the plane MBH-Pradio exhibits a trend for increasing MBH with increasing Pradio but with a substantial spread. RLQ occupy the region of most powerful sources and most massive BH. The quasars appear to emit over a wide range of power with respect to their Eddington luminosity as deduced by the estimated MBH .
