Like Gray Beard says, the Ringmaster is long gone but there are out-market kits available and every old CL flier knows about the Ringmaster.

For lots of help and talk, try these:

This is where CL really comes into being. You will find that Ringmaster is spoken there very well.

A commercial forum but the owner here is the best - Tied of the best - as Stunt Hanger is also a real helper to all CL not just stunt. Both are far beyond
99.9% of the forums. Brodak and Storic keep CL well and excellent.

It is very easy to produce a replica of the Ringmaster. I have one with an old early-on Fox 35. Great as long as nitro is LESS than 8% and oil is 27% or better with at least 60% castor oil. They will fly with a normal .19 but .25-35 is better, IMO. I also have one with a ST .29 using 3rd line. Flies very well. Ringmaster, sport engine, .19 to .35, and a 9-5/6 or 10-4 (19-.25) 10-6 or 11-4 prop (29.-.35) and low nitro high oil fuel makes for a fun day at the circles.
