Hi Peabody,
Tell Len i said hi. And sorry about the email situation. Turns out he was emailing my iPod, and the kids never let me use that.
Any way, Bill Ervin just put up a few VERY nice patterns on an RM1000 with a k&b 61.
Len got the 1014. Same plane, just a much gooder air foil. For those who know, its Pat Johnston's +P air foil at 1014 squares.

My Ringmaster 1000 uses a K&B 61 for power. Thing is a dream to fly.
My avatar is the 1000 next to a standard Ringmaster.

If you have one, then use a K&B 61 or HB/HP/Webra/Kraft 61.
All these will work a treat on the plane.

My Pat King Ring 853 also uses the K&B 61 and is a phenomenal flyer with it.The engine is highly recommended for larger Rings.

Pat Johnston has the ones mentioned in the first post.
Pat King ( down in the vendors corner) has several other amazing offerings and variants of the ringmaster
