multicasting

I needed a trainer for a student. This past weekend I purchased a large plane that appears to be a Telemaster. As I am preparing it to be recovered I realized the dimensions and build do not match a Telemaster. It has a 77 inch wingspan. The length will be about 54 inches after I add the new rudder.
Anyone recognise this?

Thanks!

I don't know what it is, but the airfoil on the horziontal stab sould be a clue. The construction looks like a plan built plane vs a Kit.

Telemaster

I don't think it's a Telemaster...

The wing ribs have cap strips. And the fuselage has sheeting top and bottom. As far as I know, the telemaster has neither of these.

My fist thought was telemaster also. If it is a telemaster, it has to be a smash kit. The built up, sheeted fuse is way stronger than any Telemaster I have seen. The only wing I can find of that length is a Kadet Senior kit. But this wing is way different. Also, it is set up for flaps.

I originally purchased it for a OS 46FX or ST 51. Now I have a concern about whether those will be sufficient to power this thing. All my 60 engines are Rossi. It just seems wierd to put a Rossi on a trainer! [&:]

Telemaster. Wing is sheeted and ribs are capped same as my 40 [only difference is span 77" vs 72"]. Also stab is a dead ringer even to the wing tips. Fuse is a little different maybe a senior telemaster?

The fuse is not that of a Senior Telemaster.

When I first looked at it, I thought PT-40.

Heck, the plane could be a cobble up... Bits and pieces from different planes thrown together.


I looked at RCM's plan website.. And also RCstore and between them, there's at least 10 high-wing trainer type airplanes.

You may never find out what that plane is...

Thanks for the input! I really wasn't sure what it was. I was hoping to fly it with a .46 or .51 with a 12.75 X 3.75 prop. However, To be safe, I will pull a 61 off of another aircraft. The airframe alone is already around 4 pounds. I am figuring around 9 pounds ready to fly.

I want to run a big flat pitch prop too!

How about an S2 Models Ultimate Trainer. Would have to see the landing gear. Larry Sewell was the designer, he could confirm.

Telemaster 2000.  They were an ARC kit available from Hobby Lobby for a short time in the early 90's.  The one I helped a guy fly, flew with an Enya 46 4-C.  Flew real well.
