Announcing
the 7th Annual Worldwide Ringmaster
Fly-A-Thon!!
October
4th & 5th, 2014
Dear fellow model
airplane flier,
Because you participated in or may be interested in our Annual Worldwide Ringmaster Fly-A-Thons, I am sending you this e-mail is to alert you about the upcoming 7th Annual Ringmaster Worldwide Fly-A-Thon. We at the Brotherhood of the Ring sincerely hope that you will help us set a new record number of Ringmaster flights!!
As you may know the Fly-A-Thon is sponsored by the Brotherhood of the Ring, a forum devoted primarily to the wonderful old time Ringmaster control line model airplanes.
If you are not a member of the Brotherhood
of the Ring Forum, I urge you to take the time to register at the above link and
check out the world of information and the friendly fellow control line modelers
you will find there.
The Fly-A-Thon is a non-competitive event to honor the plane that many of us older USA modelers flew back in the 50s, 60s 70s and 80s.
Simply stated, we want to see how many Ringmaster flights can be recorded over a single weekend, the first weekend in October (10/4-5/2014). Last year we recorded 2334 flights (a new record) in number of different countries worldwide. The simple rules are stated below and I want to direct particular attention to the last paragraph. Recruiting new people to join control line model airplane hobby is an important aspect of this event!
We hope you will join us this year and have fun flying your Ringmasters along with fellow modelers around the World.!!

Tuesday October 7, 2014
Location: Wherever you are!
Please report how many different Ringmasters flew, how many total
Ringmaster flights were
made and the location of these flights.
You may also report how many different pilots flew, how many Ringmasters were flown at the same time and what type of Ringmasters were flown.
Also, if you get someone new to solo on a Ringmaster, that flight will count as 2 flights! Let us know how many new solo flights we have too! If this will help promote new flyers by flying the same plane so many of us started with, this would be a bonus!
If you would like copies of PDF files for regular S-1 or
1/2A Ringmaster plans, send a request to the e-mail below!
Direct any questions to: fflyathon2014@yahoo.com
This is all about celebrating Control Line
modeling!!!!
