Hi Quizmo thank you for that info. I still have the plan from my old 68 build. Including the Box it originally came in. I was in the Army at the time. That plane in your post had a few changes. The struts. And the bellcrank lead outs. That engine looks like maybe a 40 or 50? I had my parts traced..learned that when I was younger. Mostly for repairs. But I wanted to build a larger flying Fool. I found another guy thru Brodak, that offered a 50 powered Flying Fool. Pat was his first name. Don't recall the last. With what I wanted to do and the cost of Pat's full kit it was a no Brainer. Don't know what happened but UPS opened the double box. It came in and according to Pat's plan..a few parts came up.missing. UPS truck was involved in a accident. UPS did cover the damages. And I was able to salvage what was missing. I am about finished with my Super Ringmaster. I have a UC OS 50. I might start building the wings on the Flying Fool. Probably be a two winter project.AJ.
