Kim and his Sunday morning magazines and coffee

While there's been little mention of it, I recall Kim making good use of early mornings drinking coffee and reading old American Modeller mags. Years back Sterling ran a contest in regards to the Ringmaster. One would modify and decorate the Ringmaster. There was some very very cool and interesting models built. Uncle Sam was one, another was a locomotive and the stack did smoke from the engine exhaust. The "Flying Man" was another which was probably one of the most remembered. My flying partner Dan has had one of these original Flying Man Ringmaster's for the past 40 years. While not in my possession as of yet, he's decided to pass this historical relic on to me to restore. I know Kim has had to come across these in those old magazines. Sterling in fact at one point offered customized Ringmaster kits for those to participate in these fun events. This is great stuff and I'm going to offer this Flying Man the ability to take to the air once again. I'm happy that Dan has offered me the chance to fix it.









I love the elevator painted like sneaks. I can't wait to fix it up this is going to make a great winter project. Ken
