Boy this is an old post about the Suoer Ringmaster Pat king design. I am building the Micro Models Suoer Ringmaster that I purchased on advise of a former U Control flyer not longer alive, this was about 10 years ago. I found three kits all Sterling, two I purchased when I was in the military and one I purchased from a hobby shop in Fort Worth. It’s now closed. I had all intentions of building the S-1 Ringmaster and the S-6 Super Ringmaster. But plans change. Including that last kit The Flying Fool. I had previously built in the Military on Okinawa flew it for five years and totaled it in Hawaii. The S-1 Ringmaster I built when I was 13 in Washington State. Flew and Crashed it rebuilt it several times and powered it with a Fox Stunt 35. Today I am building the Super Ringmaster that Micro Models kit, that was offered about 11 years ago. The Balsa is really soft and I’ve had to do some mods to make it a little crash worthy. The wing, unlike the Sterling original I really don’t think it would survive even a minor impact on soft ground. I built the Brodak By Slob I like it at my age it does me well. And my Veco Warrior Fox 19 power, along with the Veco Chief are powered with Fox Stunt 35s ya I am a Fox Motor Guy. And started to realize changing your control handle from plane to plane is not a good Idea. Cheaper for sure, but I am thinking it’s caused a few of my latest crashes. And maybe using 58 foot .015 lines measured from the bell crank is on my addenda.I have enough Lines to shorten them to 58 feet and roughly that would be a 60 foot circle. I would fly on all my Herd. With lines and handles dedicated to one plane. Doing the one set of Lines to all my planes I think is causing my mishaps and crashes. Because I am getting different elevator and flap throws. To include different elevator throws between my planes. I have noticed this, not understanding why I was crashing so much. I was feeling it was my age I am 77. Lot of difference from 40 when I went to RC. Just my thoughts and I thought I.would share what was I think causing my Crashes. AJ
