Hello all. Reading about the old Redhead engines sure brings back memories. I recall building and flying both a Super Ringmaster and a Ringmaster using brand new Redhead 35's bought for $5.95 each. The Sterling Super Ringmaster was $4.95 and the Ringmaster was $3.50! I also remember that at the time, the McCoy Redhead 35 was only $1.00 more in price than the famous 1/2A Thimbledrone "Golden Bee" .049 which was priced at $4.95 while its cousin, the Thimbledrone "TeeDee" .049, was $3.49!! We bought the Testor's 39 (?) fuel for both the 1/2A's and the "big" .35's because it was the cheapest. Fox "Missile Mist" was half again as much, I think. Let's see, that was probably around 1960 when I was 13. Now at 57, I think I might just try to find an old unbuilt Ringmaster and a good Redhead 35 and try it again. Heck, I can even remember the control lines were .018 guage and 70 feet long! Maybe I'll be able to remember how to apply silkspan on the wings. Is it even manufactured any more or do I have to try the "monokote"? And is "Ambroid" (?) glue still being manufactured? Thanks for any replies.
