Four
control line flyers from the Launceston and Hobart model aero clubs
participated in the Ringmaster annual event on 6th &
7th October clocking up 65 flights. John Moody and Owen
Cameron from LMAC clocked up 12 and 15 flights respectively While
Barry Champion and Peter Allen of HMAC completed 38 flights using
Barry's electric Ringmaster, which was a joy to fly. Personally, I
love the smell of castor in the morning! Seriously though, the
electric Ringmaster would make an ideal C/L trainer as it was
equipped with throttle control which allowed the pilot to land when
and where he wanted. Also handy for taxiing back to the pits and
there is no need for a pit man or stooge either.
