Mike Griffin put together some ARC Ringmasters for sale. I got one. I figured it would be a quick put together for a trainer for the grandkids.
I received the kit and Mike did a very nice job. Well packed, nothing was broken. All high quality components including Morris bc and lead outs already installed. Tip wight box and adj. lead-out also installed. Wing was straight as were the elev & stab. Entire plane had two coats of butyrate dope. Made it very easy to finish.
Grandson helped with the assembly and picked the colors. Transparent green monokote for wing and yellow & red Lusterkote for fuse and tail.
OS .25, 10x6 APC & uniflow tank. Entire assembly took 2 days, most of that waiting for paint to dry. Total weight; 25 oz. No flight tests yet, but ground runs very nice.
For a first go at an ARC, Mike did an excellent job. I really liked the quality of wood and hardware. Nice job. Maybe a bit expensive, but it's made in the USA! If you need more information, you can contact Mike via email: ringmasterarc@gmail.com, or on this forum.
