Pics of my latest project before I glue it all together. Dope and silkspan on the fuse, and $kote on the wing and stab.

Phil: That looks really good except couldn't you find a better looking pilot

I could, but she said that the way I build she wasn't gonna do the maiden flight.

Pictures bring back memories of the 50's. Never had a ringmaster bud did have a "Rod". 48 Chevy Fleetline with a HOT 50 Olds Rocket 88 V-8 with stick shifted hydromatic.

I just built a Baby Barnstormer powered with a COX reed valve. Flies great. Fast but great.

I'm not a big Ring fan, but that is very nice Phil.
I like the pilot, it really fits well and looks realistic.

Ringmasters and Flat Head Fords what more could an old coot ask for..

Once drove a 50 ford 140 miles to get it back to the base with one head in the trunk. Long story but the best part of the trip was pulling into a gas station and seeing the look on the gas jockey when he opened the hood to check the oil.

Love them old flat heads, great looking truck.

Beautiful Flathead. Here is a picture of one of my rides that has a stock flathead in it. Click on link for my website

Got 'er done..came in at 31.5oz....will fly her Tuesday morning. Could put a tongue muffler on but his engine runs fine with the modified Fox muffler.

Bill Turner · « **Reply #20 on:** October 22, 2006, 08:19:42 PM »

man are you my kind of guy or what. No not that way.

How can a guy who builds Ringmasters and a great rod be wrong.

Thanks for sharing

And you ought to go the HAMB at www.jalopyjournal.com and read a while. Then introduce yourself and show your ride. They'll love it I guarantee.

Sweet on both accounts
Best to ya

That's a super job on the Ringmaster Phil.--The checkerboard is the icing on the cake....

Terry Bolin · « **Reply #22 on:** October 23, 2006, 10:14:32 PM »

VERY VERY Nice. Good color design.
How did you do the Picture?
Thanks, Terry

Phil Coopy · « **Reply #23 on:** October 24, 2006, 05:46:32 AM »

Easy......Just printed it out on regular inkjet paper, cut it out, and stuck it on with dope then went over it with a few brushed coats before putting on the finishing coats to the fuse.

After you fly it, you gotta come back and post how it went. Best looking R/M I ever saw!

Phil:

Bring the truck to your fly-in next month. I would like a closer look and I suspect other folks would also. Nice looking Ring. Hope to see it at the fly-in also.
