Nice job.  What did you cover with?  I bet the TD powered Junior is fast.

The Big one is 100% Monokote, the Lil' one has a painted fuse and tail ( Lustrekote ) and Monokote wing. Yes, the little one is fast and will be even better when I get the tank height adjusted right  y1


Nice !!!

Thanks Mike. It is one of the easiest colors to cover with, handles very well. On the larger plane, I used Monokote solvent to put the little squares on instead of ironing- It really works a treat, should have tried it earlier!

Both planes look great.   Now the Junior if it is too fast, try a lower pitch prop.   I did the with my Sweet Sweep yesterday on the third flight.  Mucho easier on this old man.

There's no such thing as "too fast" with a Ringmaster  y1

                Hey John......where are you flying now days?  Did you have any other C/L fliers at your flying field yesterday?  Inquiring minds want to know.    D>K D>K    H^^

Dave and I are flying at what is or I call Frisbee Park of Shawnee.   It is off of K-7 and 43rd Street south of Bonner Springs KS.  Was out today hoping to catch the turds that keep tearing up the grass.  Too windy, so I ran the engines on a couple of planes that hadn't been flown for a while.  Had to pull one engine as the needle valve would not turn and the extension kept popping off.

Here's a video of the Ringmaster flying yesterday. I didn't use the motor shown above, went with a Cobra instead and am glad I did! Great flyer.
