Success!!! What a relief!

[Gary Dowler]

Today, at 4:40 pm pacific time, I concluded my first ever full stunt pattern!  It wasn’t pretty, in fact it was kind of ugly at points, but my humble little Shoestring did it.

Congrats Gary!
WELL DONE!
STAY SAFE & "Tight Lines!"

Looks like a fun plane to fly.

With thanks to Paul helping with the trim, it is a fun plane to fly.

Knew I’d get rich and famous some day, still not entirely convinced this is how to do it, but if you say so....

Now I didn't mention riches.

Congratulations Gary!

  Talking with some of our old members
who were there in the 1960's, being able
to fly a complete pattern wasn't as common
as it is now. That's why Pattern Points are
awarded. ( I am told ) .
  It is an accomplishment that has become
easier with better equipment and more
knowledge, but doing it with a Ringmaster
puts you back to "The Good Old days".

Take a bow ! 

Cheers! - K.

Thanks. Yeah, it’s not a perfect pattern ship, but this is what I built two of them to do, to get this pattern under my belt.   Hard to tell from the picture, but not a Ringmaster. Slightly freelanced Shoestring, actually. Squared off hollow block wingtips, extra 3/4” ahead of, and 1.5” aft of the wing. 10% more H stab/elevator area. OS 20FP for power. 26oz all up.
