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.

Looks good Jim !!!

Only problem is it is on a stooge. We need to change that.

Jim - listen to the Doc- and I'll back him up. The O.S. .25 will spin that 10X6 as well as a .35 Stunt, and if it goes lean that sucker will start moving out in a hurry! I fly the same combo ( but heavier from repairs ) with a 3 oz plastic clunk tank on uniflow / muffler pressure.

3 oz of fuel in a rich 2 cycle run is good for over 5 min. I've had the muffler pressure line come off and the engine leaned out into a peaked 2 cycle- with a 10 X 4 it had me hopping to keep up, and it ran forever, a 10X6 will would have spun a beginner into the ground.

Good looking plane- enjoy it with your grandson.

Glad to here the kids can handle it- I just noticed that yours has an LA on it and mine is an FP. Don't know the amount of difference it makes- but I fly mine on 60" lines, maybe if I switched to 52' I would be able to run it  bit richer, and still have it hang out there on the lines.
