is there a plan for a micro ringmaster or just scaling a babee ringmaster down?

Pat King sells plans and kits for the Micro Ringmaster. He can be found on stunthanger.

You could also just scale down a set of plans.

Those are the links to Pat's website.

Sorry, I posted before I saw yours

That micro Ringmaster Stunter is almost tempting enough to pull my NIB .010 out of the box and run it......Almost! Maybe an ebay used but not abused runner.

i think i will find something to scale down.
a simple stunt plane or i will make something up... it will bee for one of my pee wee .020's

There will be some rules just as with the first traveling engine.

I agree, there will be no flying rags. Easy way to hurt yourself, ruin the engine or even loose it. If you don't have a model for it or don't have the flying experience, you're better off bench running it. With the .010, there's going to be stricter rules. I have some replacement parts for the .010 but if we throw a rod or blow the crank, that will be it. Because of the tight tolerances, I also don't think the engine should be disassembled and reassembled by each person. If the engine should need to be disassembled for any reason, only those with the knowledge and experience in handling these precision engines should do it.

Amen.

I will up that Amen , I took a .020 apart and cleaned it and that was a small pain compared too a .010 I have one .010 and if I brake something that I can I will replace it and that is that . Being said and I think ever one here feels the same way , it's only fair to do what is right that's the only way I know , shucks I am excited ant you guys too !! THIS FORUM ROCKS !!!

Did I say, "I'M IN?" I'm in.

Here it is. The crankcase is a bit faded but it has excellent compression. New tank, carb body, backplate mount and included a new glow head.

NICE !!! IS that bullet proof glass , just kidding , looks really good

Ooh baby! I'm in for sure.
My black .010 is gonna be soooo jealous though.
Maybe I'll breed them.

Okay, now now that I've said that I'd like to be a part of this, just how will this work?? What will be the requirements, timeline, etcetera?

Looks great Jason!

This'll be fun, I'm looking forward to it. Better put me a few places down the list so I can build a plane for it. What kind of W/S and weight should we build for it? I think I'll build a micro Primary Force and recess the engine like I did on my speed Mustang.

Jason,

Very generous offering, I assumed you would settle on an Estes. That .010 is going to get some excercise.

There is fun ahead.

The engine came from the large .010 ebay lot I bought a few years back. No Estes era engines would have been considered. I'm mean but not evil.

I am in. Please put my name on the list for the Travlin' TD!
