Elsewhere I was reading that some folks like to think of models that are under the control of a person as being second rate, or not worthy of this site.

While we can still post of models that still benefit from RC (real control) I thought I'd post my Sterling Ringmaster S-2 kit. This is a modern take on the classic CL (AKA, Real Control) with a sheeted LE and an updated Fox Stunt 35. You might notice that the covering is Monokote with a K&B epoxy black fuselage. I'm shocked at the large rudder off set (per the plans). Also the fixed lead outs (per the plans).

Things to note are the oversized light weight foam tires for grass circles. Also there looks to be a pipe mount for the mousse mufflers often needed in modern times.

This Ringmaster is fitted with Fox Stunt 35 that is sporting a stuffer back plate and Hemi head.  Not shown was that I used 65' lines and a wide blade 10x5 prop. I never could get the called for 10x6 to fly the model correctly.

I'm also seeing a patch on the outboard wing tip. I think I used this to adjust the wing tip weight to counter the lead out weight.
