Kit Survey for Ringmaster Sportster

[pat king]

I have just shipped the prototype kit out to have it built. I will be offering laser cut short kits, with or without the machined leading edge. The plans show how to make the leading edge. The kits will include 3 sheets of 36 x 48 full size plans. The plans have all parts full size. I will also offer plans or electronic files of the plans. The short kits will be in the $95 to $100.00 range. let me know if you think you want one, I'll let you know when I am ready to start selling the kits.

Thanks, Pat

 Who does the decals? Vinyl or waterslide?

[pat king]

I do the decals. They are waterslide, printed on an inkjet printer and fixed with clear Acrylic. I scanned the original and then spent over 8 hours touching it up to get a good clean decal.

 Thanks for the decal info Pat. I'm going to need to figure out a way to get a replica "Super Combat Streak" wing decal made for the kit I just got from Walter Umland recently.

[pat king]

Wayne,
The decal material is from "Micro Mark". It makes nice decals. That is how I make the decals that I include in the Baby Ringmaster kits.

I have added a list of things the kit does not contain.

I'm almost certain that the Super Combat streak did not have a decal.

 Mine will.

Pat,

where is your web site?  I would be interested in the electronic plans.

Thank you.

Jim Pruitt

The plans have all parts full size. I will also offer plans or electronic files of the plans.

[Garf]

I'm interested in the plans, but I'm not sure about the electronic plans. Do they print out at the proper size?

[Jerry Leuty]

I remember this kit from the 60s. I have never seen one in person. Is it for a .35? I finally did see a Ring Master Imperial hanging in Central Hobbies in Albuquerque. Jim Snelson's shop. What is the wingspan and numbers.................Jerry

[john e. holliday]

Just enlarge the plan and look in the lower right corner.   

[pat king]

I do not have a web site. The wingspan is 38", it has 307 square inches. It is good for a .35, a modern .25, or a modern .20 . The electronic plans are full scale .tif files at 200 dots per inch. They will print out full size. The plans shown above have been reduced in size and density to display here.
