Sunday Flying Session

Forgot the camera again!
Ringmasters rule! One of the guys in the club brought a stopwatch to the field. He timed my rebuilt S1 Ringmaster at 27.5 seconds for 7 laps! Under 4 seconds per lap! It is safe to say this is my hottest Ringmaster yet.
And it is really fun to stunt at that speed. The GMS engine is broken in now, so I started stunting the plane. It has now completed inside and outside loops, wingovers, inverted flight, lazy eights, and overhead eights. What a blast!
And six landings without one turnover!
Ringmasters rule!
Now I can say I have been flying Ringmasters off and on for 50 years. I built my first one (powered by a McCoy 29 Super Sport) (what a dog) at the age of 12 in 1955. This one is probably my 4th or 5th. It took a long time, but I finally got one really right.
