This was sure an old post about the Sterling Flying Fool. This Winter I’ve been building a Super Ringmaster. But my thoughts keep going to the Flying Fool. It was the only By Plane I built in U Control. In RC I built the RC Stearman. It was a heavy plane and dropped like a rock when it lost power. I needed to thin my Hurd so I sold it to a bar in Fort Worth Texas. My Flying Fool I built in 68 was under power with a Fox 19. It went line slacking every time I flew it. I had my old Fox Stunt 35 and it flew a lot better even in a small wind. It was a major cutting job to install the 35 went all the way and installed new mounting rails. The nose was really narrow. That Fox Stunt 35 filled it up, but looked nice with the two inch aluminum spinner. Ended up buying another Fox Stunt 35. My S1 Ringmaster looked terrible motor less. My Top Flight Magician got all the repairs done. Tough little plane. AJ

Dang I forgot a couple years ago I ordered a BiSlob from Brodak, really my very first laser cut kit, it was great. So I was wrong about building only one Bi plane. I’ve built two. My Bislob has a Fox Stunt 35. Just did a shorter line to fifty four.AJ
