Paul

OK what's up?

I have nothing to scale it against, but it looks kind of small.
Something seems fishy here.

Yeah! Fuselage looks longer than wing. Whats up Rootbeard???

As in there is only a fuselage and a tail, the wing is virtual, and shown as inserted at a wrong angle, or it's had a Ring Jr's (or maybe a baby Ring's) wing slid into it, at that wrong angle, and photoshop was used to fuzz over the lack of a joint.

I agree. That is obviously not a full scale Ring. What's going on here, Paul?

The Mountain Brotherhood gonna breaka his face

Well it depends on what scale you are talking about???

I think it turned out kind of nice. Took all of about 20mins to build and color with markers.

I will try and test fly it this week if I can get the fuel mixed for that engine.

You guys have sharp eyes.

Neato!

Is it balsa?
The motor looks the most realistic, how is it made?

Youve got too much time on your hands and besides I see no scratches

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #10 on:** January 22, 2008, 12:16:57 PM »

Yup it is balsa. The engine is a old 4-40 cut off and screwed in the nose. Still need to make a fuel tank.

Not much time tied up in this build. I just needed to finish a plane.

After sanding all weekend a plane had to be built.

Good show Paul! Love it! You gotta save this kind of stuff for April 1st! I posted a pic of a control horn made from 3/8 steel rod a couple years ago on Stuka, said 'it's for a 1/4 scale stunter I'm building'. Thus forever cementing my rep as a wack job over there.

I hate to be the thorn in this as it aint even close to looking like a Ringmaster. Proportions are all wrong. DOC Holliday

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #13 on:** January 22, 2008, 01:41:34 PM »

No worries Doc.

It was just done on the fly, and pulled it from memory. No plans, just free hand.

I will try to do better on my Cardinal.

Doc,

Paul says he is Charles Atlas too...but he ain't proportioned right for that either

Joe Connelly · « **Reply #15 on:** January 22, 2008, 03:35:03 PM »

Paul,
You should consider marketing this as a ARF. I'll bet it sells like hotcakes.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #16 on:** January 22, 2008, 04:02:46 PM »

OK Joe,
I will put a kit together and send it to you to test it out for me.

Just don't let Chris fly it. Not sure he can get one flip starts with that engine. It's not blue.

Paul

Go Packers! Oh never mind.

Leester · « **Reply #17 on:** January 22, 2008, 04:51:49 PM »

That looks cool Paul, and it will fit in your shirt pocket also.

Now you need some .0001 lines, and a teency weency handle.

Hey, my one flips are with silver engines. Not so good with the blue ones yet.

I want to fly it though, see what it can do.

Here is my recently scratch built Ringmaster...does it look real?

That is more like it. DOC Holliday

It might be possible you and I are the only ones who know who Charles Atlas was.

Paul Taylor · « **Reply #23 on:** January 24, 2008, 08:18:31 PM »

I don't know... I think we look a lot alike. His hair might be a little longer then mine.
