Status: offline 		I have recently obtained an old 40 size (I think) 6 ft. wingspan telemaster. I am in the process of repairing and recovering. I have no information on this plane, such as CG. Any help?

Fly safe, Glover

Status: offline 		Just finishted mine with Thunder Tiger Pro 46. Velcro battery on back wall radio compartment to balance.
More power than needed. Used 5 washers for down thrust and still not enough. Has flaperons and flaps. can slow to
a crawl. Love this plane.

Status: offline 		I just won a 6' telemaster electric in a raffle. It's my first plane, and I had planned on going glow powered...

I've gotten opinions from some that it'll be no problem, others say I need to be concerned about whether the electric version is structurally capable of being glow powered. It sure is light.

Recommendations have been that I put in a .40 or an OS FX .25.

As this is my first plane, I'd love to hear any recommendations anyone can make!

Status: offline 		I would bet it would fly fine with a .25 in it, because the Senior Telemaster will fly with as little as a .46, although I have stuck a Zenoah G20 on mine for giggles.

I would look at the firewall and fuselage doublers up in the front, if it didnt look strong enough I would double it all up with some extra balsa sheet and reinforce the firewall with some triangular stock and maybe some thin ply if needed, then I would stick a .40 on it and go have a ball.

Status: offline 		The CG range for the Telemaster should be 25% -33% of the chord from the leading edge. I would start with 25% and move it back as I became familiar with the plane
