[Bill Little]

Looks very nice, Brother Richard!

What's she weigh?  That 35FP should haul the mail!

[Greg L Bahrman]

I like it....... You will have fun with this one. I have many fond memories of my first Ringmaster.

Thanks Brother Billy Big Bear! 

Its a little on the chubby side at 29 oz., but it should scoot with the OS.I'm hopping to fly it tomorrow.

I'm gonna build a couple more working the weight down, maybe use some of Dee's ultralight LEs. One will have a

Fox 35 to make Brother Billy G. happy!    

Greg,

Know whatcha mean. My memories have faded from my first one in 69', so I needed to "upgrade" for some new memories! WOOHOO!

[Bill Gruby]

    Rich my man;

         I know you made that FOX .35 S to look like an OS FP you may fool the others but you no foola me 

         I will be happy when you know what is done. That's a "Brotherhood" joke for the rest of you.   

         Don't nobody ask----you will all find out soon enough   

         The black and white photos are gorgeous, right out of the 50's 


                        "Billy G"       Them two is me and Rich, I'm the one fallin down   

[Phil Coopy]

Should fly well at that weight. I have one that weighs 28 oz. with a McCoy 35, and it fly's very well. Ringmasters are one of the few profiles that fly well with a Fox 35. That short beefy front end seems to make the Foxes run well.

Might seem like a dumb question but what it the checker board patterned stripe on the inbord wing made from? Is it Top Flite trim sheet or something else?

Very Nice Brother Richard!!! It would look even better hanging on my wall.
Here is a dumb question... what do you mean by roughed up and poly'd???

Paul,
Anytime you paint over a vinyl product, you have to scuff it up a little so the paint has something "bite" into.The poly I referred to is Polyurethane. Ain't no dumb questions here...
