And so, after MUCH hassle and foul language, here's my belated video of my two Ringmasters, making laps over at sunset...what's becoming my traditional time of day for this event.

Also, could one of you that have registered your flights please post the email address here for me? I am apparently cursed with incompetence in any computer dealings at this point.

Thanks Guys...and I'd counter that this is the Forum with THE Best Members...or maybe the nature of the hobby just attracts the type...doesn't matter...it's just great to be part of Jacob's little band of Castor Slingers !

The mount is made of a couple blocks of hard balsa...and needs to be just a bit higher to see over the S.R.'s forward section. The plane's 'railroad tie' leading edge gave me plenty of material to drill into. I drilled three 1/8' holes---two on top and one underneath...and inserted some short lengths of Sullivan Golden Rod plastic pushrod material.

A carefully placed drop of thin C.A. locks each one into place, and provides a perfect anchor for the #2 socket head sheet metal screws that hold the mount in place. (This method also works great for mounting servos in balsa rails in medium-size models)

Thanks again for the nice comments !
