Hello Steve, Hope you are doing well. Attached some images of a Baby Ringmaster (COX .049 powered) built & flown in Knysna, South Africa [more pics 003-005]. Builder & Pilot is Colin Paine. Hope this helps in a small way. Kind regards,BernardandPetro - 23/09/2014
Hello, This plan is actually the Jr. Ringmaster. It has very subtle differences from the standard S-1 and they are only found on the Jr. Specifically the horizontal stabilizer.

I know this is not a forum, but was hoping for advice or a contact on your side of the ocean with help. Today one of our club members brought his M.E. 1.5 to the field. Joe has it on a Baby Ringmaster but it has been mishandled and is so greasy it is not photoworthy. It had not been run for many years but we thought with new fuel we could unstick the contra piston. After much fiddeling and flipping, we finally got it to run with a 7x4 prop but it did not get hot enough to unstick the contra piston but was too hot to touch Can someone help so we don't damage the engine?

Disconnect the fuel line to the needle valve. Back off the compression screw a few turns. Turn the motor over till the piston exhaust ports are closed. With your fuel bottle give the engine a decent prime against the closed exhaust. Flick the engine hard. Repeat till it fires. A good burst off a prime almost always moves the contra piston upwards. Keep doing this until it works. Otherwise you will have to dismantle the engine and tap the contra-piston up the liner with a piece of wooden dowel. Good luck, those M.E.s are fine little engines.

For your consideration I submit a photo of a baby ringmaster built & flown by fellow club member, the late Allen Perret [pic 009].

A few photos of my latest creation [main pic, 010-12]. For someone who never liked profile models I have become a convert mainly due to my fascination with Ringmasters. After making the Si and Jnr I decided to download the Baby Ringmaster plan and use one of my Tee Dee .051 motors. Cheerio,

Ed, Do just what Ray said to do but your chances will improve if you heat the cylinder with a hair dryer/monokote heat gun. Heat has always worked without damage when disassembling engines stuck with dried castor oil.

Hi Mary-n-Steve! I built a scaled down baby Ringmaster for TD .010 last fall [pic 014]. It's a cutie for sure. Desert Rat and Ringmaster 'Bebe. Go's like mad, thanks for the plans. Blessings, Stay safe,

Notes
* Credit field
The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.
Scaling
This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
