As a former U/C flyer, I feel your pain. Worst possible time for that McCoy .35 to die on you was at the 'top'. It sounded real good up until that time .. nice 4 cycle/2 cycle. The Ringmaster was a good U/C plane .. they must have sold a million of them. Hope you were able to patch it up and get it back into the air. Cheers.
Boy, after losing power and stalling, it never ventured away from its earth-bound trajectory - straight down. Glad to hear it was rebuilt and flew again.
These planes fly so well and are wonderfully maneuverable. It's a shame there's not some kind of control system available that will allow them to fly without the wires. It could even control throttle... you could decide when to land... But then again, who would ever get tired of watching a model go around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around and around... and then land?
Been there. Done that. Typical of Fox .35 Stunt motors. Gotta have Fox designed fuel, proper fusel tank replacement. That's why I went to OS .25LA engines. Hauls the Ringmaster around perfectly without the worry of the "Fox Burp". ruclips.net/video/_lFBoTsyF2k/видео.html

Great flying. Reminds me of my late uncle when he use to fly his. Sorry about the crash.
The sound of silence.
I think I kept Cox in business until I learned how to fly.
I also have a McCoy 35. I ran the piss out of it. Now it's a McCoy blackhead

Nice ringmaster.
Lmao, was
damn shame.. but in this hobby it's not if.. it's when you crash ! ..
Is that a Veco engine?

No. It's a McCoy Redhead 35 from the 60's era.
However, my latest ringmaster does have a Veco 29 that runs well.
This is what happens when you do not know the time you have for your tank size.
Control Line Models never live long :)
