Default RE: 8 ft of bones! Sr Telemaster

Hi Guys,

Great jobs on the Telemasters, I have one and was going to order foam wing cores and use alum. wing tubes to make a two piece wing.
However, I decided to go a different route. I bought a Kangke 1/4 scale Monocoupe with a G-26 that had the fuseladge broken in half.
I was going to fix the fuse, but when I took the covering off it was alot worse than I thought, and a replacement fuse cost $180.

I tore the center section apart, made a few more ribs and attached it to the tele's fuseladge, and the "Telecoupe" was born.
I also used the complete tail group from the Monocoupe. The white stripe's one the sides of the fuse are the actual one's from the Monocoupe.
Tha main gear was recycled from another plane. and the front end had to be wacked off accommodate the G-26 engine. I'm still debating on weather to make a fiberglass cowl for it or not, I kinda like the accessability to the engine.
I cut the elevator in half and used twin servos, also the rudder and elevator servos were moved to the rear to help counter the extra weight of the gas engine. Luckily, I didn't have to add any extra weight for balance.
I can't really say how it flies compared to the Telemaster or the Monocoupe, but I think it flies very well. I use it for a drop plane for R/C Skydiving.
