Ready for test flights

[john e. holliday]

Now if and when I can get my vehicle I am ready to put these in the air.   Both LA 25 powered.  That is supposed to be grey on the canard and I will be putting white numbers on the side of the booms.   Single wheel gear as far forward as I can get it and hope it will take off with out trying to plow the grass.   The Mig is in honor of Marcus Cadeiro.

Wow! is that a canard Ringmaster? Nice to see something out of the ordinary.

 Looks like a pair of reflex testers to me. 

 Neat stuff Doc, let us know how they go!

Yes that is my built up Ringmaster wing that has maybe a dozen flights on it.  With the new booms and gear hope to get many more.

Does that make it a MingRaster, or a Retsamgnir?

The canard actually flies quite well once John got the control system tamed down.  The main issue at times is getting it off the grass.  As John says the nose doesn't want to come up at low speeds.  On pavement it would be OK since it could roll up to speed pretty quickly.  On the grass it struggles.  We've had to hand launch it mostly.  Maybe the new gear arrangement he has will help.  We talked about mounting wheels more forward on the booms.  This could make it too noseheavy and not sure the booms would take all the washboard departures and arrivals.  In the air it flies quite well.
