Ringmaster Jr and Baby Plans


Anybody have these plans that they would be willing to copy and sell?

I am getting Ringmaster S1 plans, but would like to do a Jr and Baby. I have a couple of Enya .15 CL motors that would be perfect for Jrs.

Thanks.

Ringmaster Jr. with sort of Japanese paint job in 1958. Do not have plans. Built a couple of the full size Sterling profile Ringmasters with Fox 35 engines earlier in the 1950's. Flew U/C from 1950 to 1969 for sport. Jack

Ringmaster Jr. Kit


I have the Ringmaster Jr. Kit from Estes. It shows only the wing plan, no ribs or body profile. I was gonna make a "clone" of the kit.
I can have the wing plan copied for about $5.00 if you want it.\\

A source CAD of plans for Ringmasters and Lazar cut parts is Pat Johnston and Dee Rice at www.brothersofthering.com.

They have plans ready in various sizes and offer to scale them to any size you wish.

A second source of CAD plans is Pat King via e-mail at, PATDK@aol.com .

I would recommend you go to www.brotherhoodofthering.info and see all of the Ringmasters from 29 to 1000 sq. in. wing area that have been built and flown this year. Also look at the photo albums.

If you could trace the wing ribs and fuselage, I would be interested.

www.controllineplans.com has the S1 Ringmaster, but not the Jr or the Baby. I guess one could just have the S1 plans reduced to make it a Jr. Not sure if it was a direct scale down or not.

Interestingly, the Brothers of the Ring only has the full fuselage Imperial Ringmaster.

Baby Ringmaster wingspan?


Does anyone know the wingspan of the Baby Ringmaster?

I'm thinking of scratch building a C/L electric version.

If you go to www.brothersofthering.com you will find many Ringmaster plans in various sizes. Note that Ringmaster variants are identified by their wing area.
A quick scan of their 100 C/L Plans shows:

#44 Original Ringmaster "S-1", 25 - 40
#60 Ringmaster Lite (can be built under 25 ounces), 25 - 40
#74 Ringmaster 1000, Fox 78
#75 Ringmaster 576/576S (S for Sport, fixed flaps), 46
#80 Ringmaster 526/526S, 40
#84 Ringmaster 715 Bipe, 60
#85 Ringmaster + P, (Foam wing), 25 - 40
#96 Ringmaster 207, 1/2 A
#97 Ringmaster 307, 15

Yes, the wingspan of Sterling's Kit S-13 of the Baby Ringmaster was 21".

Ringmaster Bipes


Thought everyone might enjoy this picture of 2 Ringmaster Bipes.
The big one is a Ringmaster 715 with a 60 up front and the Little one is a Ringmaster 23.9 with a Cox .010 TD for power. Both models were built by Bill "G-Man" Gruby.

Pinecone, I'm getting rid of my control line stuff. I have a Ringmaster JR profile and a Ringmaster JR full fuselage. Both have been built but the profile has never been flown. If you are interested let me know. I may still have the plans for them, if I do you can have them. I'll look for them today and let you know.

Pinecone - I do have a set of plans for the ringmaster jr. The problem is, they were in my Vector 40 box that was sold to a local flier here. He is going to get them back to me but I'm not sure when. They are yours for the cost of shipping. I'm not sure if they are the profile or the full fuselage plans. Either way the wing is the same. Let me know if you want them
