Father Of The "Ringmaster"

[Bill Gruby]

  While we are on the subject of the "Brotherhood Round Up" I think it is fitting what has happened. For those who seldom venture past this "Open Forum" a special person has been inducted into The Hall of Fame. It is none other than "The Father Of The Ringmaster" Mathew J. Kania aka Matt Kania. This is interesting reading. Remember the "Ringmaster" has been around for over 50 years and is still being produced in its original form plus a few varients. This says a lot for its designer. As I see it this induction was long overdue.

RING DADDY you are so right G man i think it would be easier to list the flyers that have not flown a ringmaster than those that have.

I wholeheartedly agree with the Induction of Matt Kania.  His contributions through design are legend in the control line world.  Most fitting!

That's a great post. My first serious CL plane was a ringer.
