It was Paul.

The weather was fabulous on Saturday and then the .020 decided not to run!  I'm still not sure what the approved name for it is?  Is it a Mini-Ringmaster,  a Micro-Ringmaster, a Tiny-Ringmaster, or?  I suppose calling it a Dwarf-Ringmaster is no longer politically correct.  Hey, what about a Pigmy-Ringmaster?  Not that either?  Oh, okay.   ???

There are more pictures on our facebook page.

   Looks a little small for the .020. I think an .010 would fly that. Mount it to a hard hat like Tom Lay did with a built up stunt model, I'm sure some one had a photo of that somewhere. Can be dismounted and flown when called for.  That ought to fly on 25 foot lines, I would think.

Call that black and yellow one "RingTot," and call the other "I want the plans!"

I'm envious of the man that owns the red hard hat. I could fly that small-fry in my back yard!

     If that's Tom Lay's hat and model, I think it's an old style baseball batting helmet. I have a photograph of he and I standing next to each other, which was presented to me at VSC one year as "the Having Most Fun Award." One of my most prized possessions.
