Little Ringmasters

Thanks Mark,

Yeah she likes it. I had to give my son my nice one to make it fair. Oh well, they come and they go.

Yeah that's my yard. It's been a real blessing. The paint scheme is the same as what's on the box.

I didn't have much hope for it, but I took a turn on the handle and it was surprisingly smooth lines stayed tight. It will do nice wide loops and even inverted as long as the tank is full.   

Cool swap meet find. What's that green stuff they are standing on?

That is grass, pretty hard to come by up your way...it's mostly brown though.

I also picked up a couple O.S .40 FP's for $5 a piece and some other odds and ends.

Very cool, Ron! Hope she has it for a long time. The 40FP's are a great find. I'm going to the RC Expo and swap meet in two weeks, hope I can find so great deals to.

FP 40's for 5 bux! Cant even buy a new glow plug for that. Nice score. Convert easy to CL with a NV and venturi.

I am sure you will. None of those guys want to take any of that junk back home.

Yeah man. I was happy. Can you believe I only saw one Fox engine? Crazy.

Apparently Prague OK is the home of the Super Tigre... Here I thought they were all made in Italy.

Prague, Oklahoma is the home of Supertigre?  I thought they were made in Italy, too.

You've got a couple of great looking kids, Ron.
I have an fp40 and flew it a couple of times. It's a really sweet running engine. Couldn't tell a lot of difference from the fp35. Really cooperative to crank and needle.

The beginner Ringmaster is a great slab wing airplane. I have found that it is one of the best, and I used it to teach my son to fly. I am building three from scratch right now and trying different finishing techniques. I think you did OK at $20 for a completed kit, and I am guessing your daughter would agree!

One would think so, Every table had Super Tigre's on them. Of course the G21 -35 was taken by a couple fellow CL'rs from Tulsa fairly early on in the swap.

It was funny really, also helpful as they arrived before the swap was even open and snatched up every CL related item.

It worked out though as I didn't have to go very far to find what I needed and they sold me stuff for what they paid or just gave it to me outright.
