Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon

Description de l'événement

The Annual Worldwide Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon is the largest Control Line (CL) model airplane fun-fly in the world. Modelers from around the globe fly Ringmaster models on the first weekend of October each year. This is an annual event because the Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon is not only fun, but a good opportunity to promote CL modeling. The spirit of the event is to join others around the world flying CL models. It is also an opportunity to promote model aviation by acquainting others with the hobby. Participating in the Ringmaster Fly-A-thon is a great way to celebrate model aviation and that is a worthwhile goal. The original S-1 Ringmaster was first kitted by Sterling Models in 1950 and is the premier CL model in terms of kits sold in the US and Canada. The model was originally designed by Matt Kania for the Fox .35 Stunt engine, but it flies well using modern engines such as the Brodak .25. Any Ringmaster variant can be flown for the Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon. Because the Ringmaster and its derivatives are so popular in the US and Canada, there are many available to fly for the Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon. Participants in the Ringmaster Fly-A-Thon are also welcome to fly electric-powered Ringmasters.
