Title: Two Ringmasters Almost Complete! All Done!
Post by: Doug Burright on February 06, 2015, 06:23:30 PM: My Son in California and I had a great idea to have a pair of matching S-1 Ringmasters! I built the planes from downloaded plans that show they were modified by P.D. King in 2011, then printed at the FedEx/Kinko's. My Son designed the trim scheme. Both new planes will be powered by reliable Fox .35 engines. You can probably guess which Ringmaster is mine, and his will be blue colors. The picture is a "Get a shot before it gets dark outside" type, and neither plane has completed trim.

I will get to fly mine first, because he won't get his until Spring, when I make a road trip out there to visit him, and his family. This is the first Father/Son project that we have done in quite some time! I'm eager to get the planes together.(http://)

I built an S-1 a few months ago and put a Brodack .40 in it. I also had an old one that used to be white but turned yellow over time and put an La.25 in it
Both fly well.

Hi Mitchell, there are quite a few of us N. California guys. Several of them are Bay Area guys not too far from you. Check out the contests this year in Woodland.

Post by: Doug Burright on February 08, 2015, 03:55:45 PM: Okay! I finished mine, and flew it twice, today. It was great! A little bit windy, but manageable. Here is what mine looks like, finished. Mitchell's will be identical, except for the colors.

Post by: Doug Burright on February 10, 2015, 08:50:45 PM: Ta-Da! Both of them are done, and I got the okay from Mitchell to test fly his. They fly great! His is the first plane I've made that hasn't been trimmed in purple, for quite some time. It's difficult to think in blue. His is the one with the last of the diamond checkerboard material, too. Now, I can hardly wait for the road trip to California!

These planes were fun to build, and they fly great! Everybody needs a Ringmaster at some point!
