2015 Ringmaster Flyathon


OK, guys. It's getting close to that time of the year again. John Cralley sent me this reminder.
Let's make an extra effort this year. You still have a month or more to build a Ringmaster if you do not already have one.

Not wanting to be left out, Bob McKenzie sent in these photos of his new Jamison Special.
Flys nice once the initial C of G problems were sorted out. Power is by a Sabre .29 with 10 X 6 prop.




An extra feature was the adjustable leadouts not present on the original.

Sabre .29 with home made muffler.








---oooOooo---


It's been very quiet on the Control Line front down here in Tasmania for a while. Owen Cameron and Jason George braved the chilly weather last Saturday. Owen reports.......

Only me and Jason were keen enough for a fly on Sat. No wind for around 2 hours then it blew up.
We dusted off some of the old regulars, Miss BJ75, The old black widow maker (not quite dusted off) and Jase used his Gold Peacemaker, his Armageddon screamer and his Gemini wing that was taken home in two pieces.
Was generally good first flights were a bit rusty.  I took my Ramrod and Slob but didn’t get to fly them due to the Tassie weather packing up.
