Ringmaster Jr. Flies in Walkersville
Skipped dinner last evening to go flying at the Walkersville Heritage Farm Park. It was a little hot and muggy at the field, but there was very little wind. Great C/L flying conditions.
The Ringmaster Jr. has been mostly idle for the last 18 momnths or so, because I feared the engine might have some issues. Last evening cleared that up!
It did take me a couple of flights to get the needle valve setting sorted out. But on the last three or four flights, the Enya 19-V on the front of the plane put out plenty of the right kind of usable power.
Plenty of fun. Plenty of inside and outside loops, inverted laps, wingovers, lazy, vertical, and overhead eights. My kind of sport flying.
The Sterling-Estes Stuntin' Ringmaster 19 Junior powered by an Enya 19-V turns out to be a nifty spiort flying combination.
Of course the plane is now out of production. But one of them does occassionally show up on eBay. And the Enya 19 is still in production. And they can be bought on eBay in good condition at reasonable prices. I bought the one on this plane used on eBay for about $25.00.
Pictures to follow.
