Hi Pepper,

I have Baxter's S-6 Super Ringmaster plans [plane logo next to my status on posting info at left side of posting's is a photo of that plane, also have pic's posted on photo gallery.  The plans are straight foreward however there is no construction guide.  Also, pay attention to the ribs as there is a layout error that I am not sure Barry fixed even though I emailed him about it.  The plans are crisp and dead bang accurate, not some kinkos xerox jobs that are questionable at best.  The plane flies extremely well and I have no regrets in building it.  If you are an experienced builder, I would suggest you consider an adjustable leadout setup and carved out balsa wing tips.  Also, there are a couple of methods for installing weight boxes/tubes for adjusting the CG and outboard wing tip weight.  I mention this because depending on the wheels and other changes you may make, the ability to adjust the balance points becomes real important.  If there are any issues that come to mind, either post them on the building tips or email me.

Pepper,

Bill Schmidt draws some of the best plans I've ever seen.  I bought Ringmaster S1 plans from him and am very happy with them.  I believe they were $10.00.  He sent me the full size plans he draws, a copy of the plans by Sterling (not full size), and a list of other plans he creates.
