Lil' Stunting Ringmaster

Thanks for your help Ron.

The one I still kick myself in the rear for not buying... I decided instead to buy the Lil' Jumpin' Bean. The tracings for the beginner Ringmaster going around here are from my Estes Beginner Ringmaster......

Paid $58 with priority shipping.  Really wanted this one because of the factory seal. Already have original one from the 80"s that I use for patterns.  I modify the wingspan out to 26 to 27 inches. The fuselage is lengthened for beam mounts and balance. Haven't tried a Norvel on the Baby Ringmaster yet.

I think they tried to make it look "vintage", look at the cockpit

Is it just me, or do the 'modern' paint schemes that Estes put on all the Ringmaster boxess look just awful?  I'm not usually a purist when it comes to covering or painting a plane, but just, just....  Eck!

The "I Vomited A Little In My Mouth" Mark

Lol, maybe I'll paint my Hyper Viper like that... see if I can induce a full blown projectile eruption from you at show and tell one night.

You dodged a bullet in my opinion. The Bean flies much better than the BRM.

Thanks. Well, that's good to hear. I do have a Baby Ringmaster, just not the Sterling version. I will hopefully fly them both this year. That is one of my many goals.....
