Hey Terry;
    I think Paul Taylor beat you to this combination that he called a Streakmaster, I think. I think he used a Flite Streak wing and Ringmaster fuse also. He'll pop in with details I hope.
   Good luck with it and have fun,

Such blasphemy.    Now when is some one going to put the Ringmaster wing in a Flite Streak fuselage?   Anyway I hope it flies well for you.

Tnx Pat & Larry.

Dan - I'm not surprised, it's pretty much a no-brainer if the pieces are on hand - and I'm tired of crashing plain-old Flite Streaks.  ;D

Doc - what blasphemy? it has a Fox .35 on it!  ;D

Guess it should balance same as the Flite Streak (1 5/8" aft of the L.E.), right?

Good thinking Terry, I wondered if you were gonna fix the Streak or trash the fuse and do something with the wing. Are you flying this weekend? I am coming home on Sat so I might be at the field Sun. Mike

Nope. Its a first.
Mine was a Flite Streak Wing and stab with a SkyRay fuse and rudder. I can't take credit for it either.  Andrew put me on it. Flys real well. I'm sure the RingStreak will do just as good if not better.  H^^

Bring it to the Memphis contest and fly it. We will also be taking flight counts for the RingMaster round up and this will add at least .5 to our total.  H^^

I'll be there, Lord willin' an' the Crick don't rise Mike - hope you make it.
Actually, I put the wing/tail feathers of the 1st Streak on a new Streak's fuse, then the new wing on an ancient Ringmaster fuse.
So I'll have 2 to bust up. ;D

Paul - half a Ringmaster's better than none.   ;D

Yea thats what I wanted to call it but seemed some already put that name on another plane. So I did a name the plane and Charles came up with the name and offered up the graphics and they stuck. Get it? Graphics stuck.  LL~

He does nice graphics.
