The World-Wide Ringmaster Fly-a-Thon---Oct. 1st & 2nd

Ken Cook wrote:Sterling never made a Flash .40. Pat King did a rendition of the .40 size Flash. I happen to have one and it didn't come with a canopy which may explain the odd one. I do have the correct canopy.  For as long as I can remember back it never rained on Ring day here. Rain scheduled for both today and tomorrow. My flying partner just re did his Ring with a older 4 stroke which seems to be doing real well and one of the other guys had a Wankel on his which was heavy but it sure sounded cool.

Thanks for clarifying, Ken, glad to see Pat King stepped up to fill the gap. I can only speculate why Sterling did not come out with a standard .35 flash, but then, they already had enough full fuselage Ringmasters, may be felt they would not garner the sales. I gather the Flash Jr. was on the only full fuselage .15 Ringmaster. They also departed from the standard, elliptical rudder and stabilizer with this tapered, squared tip one.

Would have liked to have participated, but had already enough irons in the fire already (emergency kitchen repair - 19 y.o. garbage disposer blew a seal and started leaking).
