A nice easy build and fun-flying nostalgia kit from the past.

I'll be doing it with an Insignia Red fuse and tail, white canopy and a clear build-up wing using Brodak butyrate dope. The kit comes complete with a hardware package and water-based decals (NOT "stickers").

Anyone looking to get into CL might well consider this kit at $35 plus what ever coloring you may choose to apply.

The Baby Ringmaster is one of Laramie's favorite 1/2A planes over at RCG. It's a really nice little plane, he uses all the traditional coverings too. What's the wingspan on it?
My next real build will be a Baby Flitestreak. I have two Com-Bats to build first. I have a TD .051 for the Baby and I'm going to make twin Killer Bees for the Bats.

Rusty:

The Baby Ringmaster has a 20" span while the Baby Flite Streak is 26 1/4" and is slightly more expensive by about $9. I'm doing it tradtional syle with buyrate dope and silkspan.

It featres a beam rather than a radial mount. Perfect for the TD .051 which should make it a lively performer in the ring with the built-up wing.

The S-3 full-sized Ringmaster was a favorite of mine in the heyday of CL flying in the late 50's early 60's. Pretty much flew them until they could fly no more in the combat circle.
