The Telemaster flies great. Having been accustomed to hot 3D airplanes I have had to get into a different frame of mind while flying the Telemaster. It just purrs on about 20% throttle. I took it to Mac Hodges' spring fly-in and performed the candy drop for the kids. It is amazing how many old modelers came flocking to the pits after the Telemaster landed. Everyone of any age has a story about the Telemaster. I have not tried towing a glider yet but am actively looking for someone needing a tow. The flaps make a minimal difference in the flying characteristics. She jumps off the ground with or without the flaps. Landing in a breeze is interesting as she wants to tip over when taxiing. All in all a very worth while project.
