Thats perfect. I can make out the measurements now. You guys have been a real help. Thanks a lot.

Revoxdude, DickNadine, and/or Anyone Else:

Catching up with the reading of this thread and was wondering if you had a chance to start construction of the Hoop Skirt? It was fun to build back in '71.

Thanks for the Hoop Skirt plans. now I can recreate my 36'' Dia Hoop Plane, which I never had a chance to fly, Hurricane Katrina took it all of our house shops, models, etc. only thing left was a few chimmy bricks. anyhow I am now building a 38" equivelent version of the Ringer, plans by Roy Jr. twin rings at the end of a18" center section. will keep you posted. dick stamm

I'm back in business. this time its the Ringer, from plans by Roy jr. pair of 13"dia hoops at the end of a 16" wing and a barrel tail. structure all complete @ 7 oz. will be electric power. things sure are different trying to build, store, display and explain all the new models hanging from the ceiling of the spare bedroom. next will be another Hoop Plane, probably around a 24" Dia. to replace the big one, lost in Hurricane Katrina. got to keep building the old time ODD BALLS. sure would like to find a copy of the book by or of Roy Clough. then I could start building one of each of his models. dick

Hi Dick,

No luck with the pic of the ringer, not even a sign of an attachment.

I don't know what happened to the pic of the Ringer. It came through "Loud and Clear" in your PM to me. I tried to upload it to this Forum for everyone else but it didn't work.
I have had problems for months with uploading images to this Forum, I get a "File error ocurred" message. It doesn't happen to me when I send a pic using eMail.

To Roy L Clough fans - - -
Dick's model is well underway. It still needs a suit of clothes but shows clearly what it will look like. It has short cylinders for wings on the end of stub wings and another short cylinder for tail feathers. This short cylinder appears to be articulated as if a "fully flying" tail unit. I was eagerly awaiting the results of Dick's first Clough model the Ring Wing and sorry that it went the way of all Dick's models, lost with everything else in the damage caused by Katerina. It will be great when the new one flies.

Personally I know I can trim a model for "free flight job" (dare I say those words here?) I prefer to have fixed horizantal & vertical stabilizing surfaces (or equivalent) and attach the movable control surfaces to them. As I've said before, my skils with the sticks are such that my models need to be stable to control my erratic stick movements.

Hi Everyone;

Greetings to you All from hot'n'humid Florida.

Re Roy L. Cough Jr.; well I was just reviewing/rereading the June '06 issue of Flying Models magazine, wherein Roy presented his construction article for his old '52 design called the SLOTTO MK 5, and it is a good read. Then, I got into the RCU site herein for AMA news and such, lookig for the date for the upcoming California Trade Show [formerly the IMS in Pasadena], and noted with sadness, a submission dated 5.25.06 stating that Mr. Clough had passed away on 5.16.06. And that since '45 or so had subitted more than 155 of his designs to the modelling press; refer back to that submission for more details.

Alas, another of the Greats' has passed from us; I have certainly enjoyed reading and re-reading many of Roys interesting design articles, so let us All herein raise our glasses high and give a final, belated salute to Roy L. Cough Jr. Salute Roy, you will be missed.

Best regards to Everyone from Florida,

Joe Nagy.
