Thanks, Doc. This one should be no harder to build and take about as much time to build as a sheet wing 1/2A airplane. This airplane should be about the easiest way to learn C/L flying there is. In the spring when I can play with it I will find out where to put the battery and how slow it can fly and remain a stable platform to train people. By moving the battery fore and aft the CG can easily be moved. With a forward CG the airplane should be very stable, possibly so stable that it will not loop. As a flyer gains skill the CG can be moved aft to increase the turning ability. I would think the airplane could be adjustable to take a pilot from first flight to loops, lazy eights, and inverted. From there they can graduate to a more conventional airplane. I taught several people to fly with my old S1, I hope many more can learn using the Ringmaster Trainer II E or the fuel powered Ringmaster Trainer II.
