She feels a little heavy overall,  put an ounce in the tail for balance, will be an os 25la, 9x4 prop to start , with hayes 3oz.  tank . Fuse is a little warped toward the "good side, if there is one".

Here is pic of completed airplane, test may have to wait till new needle valve assembly arrives, my old r/c carb just is not working to my satisfaction. Finish is monocote and rustoleum.

Ray,

The Ringmaster looks great, Let me know if you need a ST Needle Valve , I will bring to club meeting next week. Might be able to fix you up with a venturi, If you have not already ordered one .

Ray,
I agree, the Ringmaster looks great.  While you are waiting on the needle valve, mount a pushrod guide midway between the wing and tail to help control the flex during the inside maneuvers.  Have fun with it.
