Cool!
The checkered Ringmaster belongs to Dan Banjock...I bought it from the guy that made it...Doug Benedetti...Doug gave up on getting it to work after a crash repair.
I couldn't figure it out and gave it to Danny....
The checkerboard pattern matches top to bottom...a real work of art...
Danny squoze the motor mounts real tight and wins all kinds of OTS and even classic events with it!
He must have crashed it, as the red on the wings appears new...
Have fun, and thanks for posting...I'll be there Wednesday

Lots of guys there already it seems!  I'll be there Tuesday.  Tonight I'm going to pack my suitcase and get our last practice flights in before Brodak.

when I get back, I plan on posting some of the pictures we'll end up taking.

Edit: Is that Keith Trostle's Big Job, it sure looks like it?

#8 picture down showa a bird with an OS Wankel on it, how did they make that engine C/L? Very unique and original.

I don't know what mods were done on the Wankel but I think it was primarily just playing around with something a little different. The engine is very heavy and the plane was extremely nose heavy.
