Doc is right in that they are easy builds. This is an early build and it is powered with an OS10 FP and is more than adequately powered. Keep it light and you just might get the pattern in with it.

Here's mine. I really enjoyed the build, awesome kit. The packaging didn't work to well, it had a broken leading edge and spar when I got it... I just glued them back together. I didn't enjoy bending the LG wire, but it still turned out good and flies great.

Post by: badbill on September 02, 2016, 11:02:41 AM: I just realized that I didn't answer your last question, would I build another. YES, I would. Matter of fact, I have a hankering for a Ringmaster JR Flash to replace the one I crashed on it's first flight when I was a kid. His kit of that looks great!

Also, I was looking at the pic of the one in the post above mine, and realized that I also altered my rudder a little bit to make it the shape of the one on my big Ringmaster. Not sure which is right.

Post by: Duke.Johnson on September 02, 2016, 12:11:34 PM: I built one a few years ago and it's an easy build and flies great. I put a OS 15FP on mine and it will do anything you ask it to do.

Post by: pat king on September 02, 2016, 12:31:14 PM: I thank everyone for the kind words. The Vertical Stabilizer on my Ringmaster Jr. kit is not the same shape as on a Ringmaster S1 because my kit has the same shapes as the Sterling kit S5 Ringmaster Jr. . That did not have the same shape as the Vertical Stabilizer on the Ringmaster.

Post by: Bootlegger on September 28, 2016, 11:13:01 AM: Doug I have flown the "socks" off that thing with that O S Pet .099, it only weighs 16 OZ ready to fly. Sorta thinking about one of Pat Kinks versions for my next build.

Post by: john e. holliday on September 29, 2016, 06:36:11 AM: Go for it, He has several kits I would like to have if I didn't have so many. Found out I already have his Ringmaster Flash along with a couple of other kits. Besides as the commercial goes, "Its your money use it the way you want". H^^

A picture or 2 of the Ringmaster Flash. Power is a 15X. Pat King may still have this one in his collection.

Post by: john e. holliday on November 07, 2016, 11:59:25 AM: Would you believe I have one of his Ringmaster Flash in a box under a stash of plans. Had forgot all about it if I hadn't been looking for the plans of another plane.

Post by: Bootlegger on November 09, 2016, 01:00:11 PM: Nudder question, does any one use the stock lead out location on Pat's Ring Jr? And if not how do you make up your adjustable L/E guide??
Again thanks..
