Guys, I know many of you will be foaming at the mouth to suggest your favorite (

) but these are what I have and (for several reasons) want to choose from so, if you can control yourselves just a bit, please help me with these.
I have a Golden Bee that I want to build for in the coming cold and the plans I have on hand are:
Infant All American, 22", ~125 sq in. (plan notes a Tee Dee)
Baby Ringmaster, 22", area unknown.

Of these, which would be the more stuntable with a GB?
Target weight?

Thanks.

Your generosity overwhelms me, my friend.
Thanks Ty.

People like Ty is what makes control line so enjoyable!

I had a Golden Bee on my Baby Ringmaster and I loved.it.... for a day... cause it lasted that long lol

My Baby Ringmaster.was a Pat King kit

Also I should add that this was my first flight back into the hobby after years away from a PT-19 lol

Thanks, Jim - your video is a "thumbs up" for the BRM, and yours is mighty fine looking.
Congrats on a successful return flight too!
I admit, I haven't thought to practice T-n-Gs.

I really like the lap time (I'm of "advanced age"

) - 42' lines?

James Holford · « **Reply #5 on:** October 21, 2016, 05:28:36 AM »

Think the lines were either 28' or 32'. Not really sure. Braided fishing line.

It about drilled me into the ground flying for 5 minutes and 30 seconds lol. Couple flights later I tried to loop at slow speed and the plane met its death lol. But hte kit built quik and easy and I would buy another!

If you by chance havent seen any of Pat Kings kits... checkem out.. heres the link to the BRM I had http://pdkllc.com/baby-ringmaster/

If I remember right the Golden Bee comes with the stunt tank. Lost count how many planes mine powered, especially the Combat kittens. The Baby Ringmaster is a good choice. If plans show a Babe Bee you may have to shorten the nose accordingly, which is what we did. Let us know.

Actually, Doc, for simplicity's sake, I've decided to go with the BRM's profile fuse.
The plan I have is someone's modification to a TD/NV beam mount engine and I have an idea to convert the Bee to beam.
All will be revealed if it works out.

Besides, everybody needs another Ringmaster.
