How do you go about gettting plans to the "light weight" Ringmaster's you guys are flying.

Milton,
It's pretty much built around Eric Rule's kit. In fact, I think he offers a Ringmaster Lite kit. It is a built up profile using bult up LE and TE. Weight comes out around 20-22oz with a B25 up front. As Tom mentioned above plans are available from Pat and Dee. Their new site is    www.brothersofthering.com

Back to the thread- Besides the regular contestants from last year- we had folks from Maine, Conneticut, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas and OK! At the rate this thing is growing, it might have to become a week-long event!

Brodak 25, LA 25, Fox 35, McCoy 35, and my personal preference; OS 26 FS and Saito 30.

Ray, the most dependable, consistent runner for these lite ones(RSM) are the brodak .25s. The Fox and McCoys .35s are more common on the S1(Sterling)Ringmasters matching the heavier construction.The others mentioned in Scotts response work great too. His 4S engines on his were quite impressive as well.
