Thanks Brother Billy Big Bear!  H^^

Its a little on the chubby side at 29 oz., but it should scoot with the OS.I'm hopping to fly it tomorrow.

I'm gonna build a couple more working the weight down, maybe use some of Dee's ultralight LEs. One will have a

Fox 35 to make Brother Billy G. happy! #^   :##

Greg,

Know whatcha mean. My memories have faded from my first one in 69', so I needed to "upgrade" for some new memories! WOOHOO! n~

Should fly well at that weight. I have one that weighs 28 oz. with a McCoy 35, and it fly's very well. Ringmasters are one of the few profiles that fly well with a Fox 35. That short beefy front end seems to make the Foxes run well.

Might seem like a dumb question but what it the checker board patterned stripe on the inbord wing made from? Is it Top Flite trim sheet or something else?

Paul,
Anytime you paint over a vinyl product, you have to scuff it up a little so the paint has something "bite" into.The poly I referred to is Polyurethane. Ain't no dumb questions here...
