Finished building a micro Ringmaster twin kit by Pat King. It has two Cox Tee Dee .010 engines. Very nice kit.
I added a wingtip weight box. Put some lead inside the nose wheel to balance fore/aft.
I planked one extra bay in the wing to make covering easier.
Pat King has lots of control line kits and plans available.

I'm a sucker for twins. This one is just too cute!
Great job. Please post links to flight vids.

As Air Miniseries would have said (before his reformation as Scientification):  "now we can see why you inventicated that mini'lectic starter thingymabobber--A Twinney!"

I have the little Pat King single engine micro Ringmaster.  As much "fun" as it is to start one .010, hard to imagine the "joy" of getting two of them going.

Dave Nyce

I don't really have any trouble starting mine. I have six TeeDee .010 engines.  I made a small electric starter for them. Also works on my .020 engines.

Mr. Dave,
I'd like to see the starter. What did you use for the starter cone and holder?

I bought a motor, a LiPo battery, and a high current micro switch on Amazon. Made depressions into a piece of wood for the motor and battery. Drilled into a piece of aluminum rod for the motor shaft at one end and a piece of rubber tube at the other end.

And what fuel/duration can you get with them? What length and line size? Lap time?

Dave Nyce

I use sig champion 25 fuel of which I still have a few quarts. 10 pound test yellow braided line, 15 to 20 ft long, depending on the model. But I haven't flown the twin yet. Maybe a little longer line for the twin. With .010 integral tank, runs about 1 minute. But I use external tank on most, for run time 2 to 3 minutes.

Thanks Dave,
I'm just wondering if someone can get an official pattern flight with 2 010 engines.  I just got a pair and I'm wondering if it'll be worth the effort.

I had a 1/2A Snapper with a .010 and it could do a complete pattern. I have witnesses who saw it. 🤠
