Default RE: Ready Built Sr. Telemaster from Hobby Lobby


ORIGINAL: cadconversions

HL's order number is HLA112 - Aero Craft 12 Foot Telemaster Kit.....$349.00

23 lb flying weight.

Per HL, the recommended motor size for the Sr. is a .61 2-stroke or .91 4-stroke.

Anyone know for the giant? The weight is 23lbs and they recommend the AXI 5330/24 motor for it. What size gasser?
I built the Sr. some years ago and installed a Saito 80FS .At 10lbs-9 ozs it was overkill
With any type of headwind It would leap into the air in about 5 ft. at 3/4 throttle. However once airborne it flew absolutely beautiful.
Nothing flies like a big plane
I sold it and now I have a Tele 40 with a OS 40 FSR engine.. I'll save the maiden flight for next spring.
