Micro Ringmaster

NEW222 on Sun Apr 07, 2019 1:13 pm

Hi all. So while on holidays, I have decided I really want to build a Micro Ringmaster with I believe a 10" wingspan. I cannot for the life of me find the plans I thought I had of it. Would anyone here happen to have a copy of them they would be willing to share. I believe Roger Harris here had them, but has not been on in a while. Thank you.

Chancey,

Not quite what you are asking for, but a work-around.

Any chance you can use your regular sized PDF to print reduced?
Then skip a rib or two since you really won't need then all.

I printed my Brown-Novotnik 1/2A Mosquito at about 65% just to print the plans tiled in two pages to get the rib/trailing edge angles for templates. The plans make the model look like a cute Mini-model compared to my Black Hawk Mosquito.

Here is plan for. 22” Baby Ringmaster. Print it out at a litte under 50% to get 10” WS.

Not sure is the MIcro ringmaster a slab wing?

The Micro Ringmaster is a scaled down slab wing version of an S1. So it’s not as simple as shrinking a Baby Ringmaster.

Rusty probably has plans as he built one. To be honest though you could probably go to the PDK section on Stunthangar and take a look for the outline. It would be simple to cut one out of a 3 side view. Have you a membership on Brotherhood of the Ring?

Edit: This should work for you, just blow it up until you get a 10.5” wingspan.

Yes, the micro is a sheet wing at 10.5". Thanks for teh help and advice. I did manage to find a blurry picture online and have printed it out now. Should be good enough to build from. We'll see... Stay tuned.

I edited my original post. It should print out much cleaner.

Thank you all. I got most of it cut out now. Just waiting for teh wing to dry as I had to splice 2 pieces together to make the correct width. I only had a small odd shaped piece of 3/32" balsa.

Well, this was tonights venture. Here is where I am at right now. Just a few small details left. Bellcrank button, and leadout guide. Doping will hopefully get done tomorrow, weather permitting.

I think a Black Widow may be a bit too much???? Lol.

Wow Chancey, Fast work and such a nice rendition. Is that a SIG airfoil wing or did you sand to shape?

Soooooo, just how are you going to power it?

First, thank you all for teh kind words. It is greatly appreciated.

As for the build, it is just plain old scrap wood I had laying around. The wing is just flat 3/32" balsa with no airfoil, fuselage is 3/16" balsa, tail surfaces are 1/16" balsa, and for a first time the tail is hinged with fabric and Ambroid, a first for me.... And as for power, I do not have any immediate plans for flying it as I do not have a TD .010. So until that day comes, it will be built and ready to take to the skies. I will weigh it after it is finished and I may have an old HZ Champ I may rob the motor from and electrify it using teh radio for throttle.....
