Ringmaster Info needed

I know this might not be the right place for this, but maybe someone has information. I'm putting together a book on the Ringmaster series of airplanes (a list of which follows). I'm looking for pictures of completed planes, building pictures, scanned in reduced size plans or pictures of the box. Sterling or Sterling/Estes.

I would also appreciate any information or stories about Matt Kania, Harry Williamson, Nick Ziroli, designers and modifiers of the series.

The Williamson "Ringmaster" from MAN does NOT belong to the series, and shares nothing with the more famous group beyond the name. As an aside, there is a British OTS design called the "Magician" which appeared many years before the US named one, and other than the name, they have nothing in common either.

While Williamsons RM does not have any direct connection to Sterling, I included it for a few of reasons. 1)Of course the name jumped out at me. 2)The fact that the dates of Williamsons preceed the Sterling model and 3)The looks are very similar.

There has been discussion in various forums, which you have taken part in also, that give at least a strong hint of connection.

But beyond that, I really like the looks of the W.RM.

Thanks for your feedback!
