Default Senior Telemaster specifications scarce!!

I built a Sr Telemaster years ago - it was a fantastic kit, but I would recommend trying to figure out how to make it a 2-piece wing.

I can't honestly remember how they handled the LE and TE pieces. I want to say they were square and needed to be shaped, but I could be wrong. (sorry).

I don't think it came with much in the hardware-department. I used kevlar pull-pull cables on the rudder and a solid steel wire-in-tube pushrod for the elevator. I put individual servos on each aileron (built bays in the wings for them) - and built paper-tubes into the wings to carry the servo wires.

I see absolutely no need whatsoever to sheet the fuselage, unless you're going to grossly overpower the airplane - and if that's your goal I'd plan on sheeting at least part of the leading edges of the wing. As-is it's a completely open-bay structure.

Incidentally, it will fly wonderfully on a .60 (will take off at 1/2 throttle or less with a breeze) - at idle it'll fly like a glider. 16Oz and a .60 2-stroke can offer quite a lot of flying (I've had mine up for 40-45 minutes at a stretch) -- and all that was flying with a 35mm camera on-board.
