Default RE: Senior Telemaster Kit Modifications To Be

Left the wing alone, but did use 2 servos - 1 for each aileron. Can't stand rubber-band assembly. Used 4 1/2 x 20 nylon bolts to retain the wing. Added blocks of pine behind the LE to anchor the bolts, same inside the TE area. As anchor points in the fuse, I added 1/8" ply (not lite ply) inside the fuselage on both sides, and used two laminations of 1/4 AC ply with brass threaded inserts that the nylon bolts threaded into. Very solid. I would roll, spin, some limited inverted flight. Full down elevator, some altitude loss.

Added 3/4" width to the rudder. Might do more next time.

Removable tail feathers. See pics at: <ttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_3907030/anchors_3907030/mpage_1/key_senior+telemaster/anchor/tm.htm#3907030>

Added a glass window to the left fuselage side, and carried a plywood box w/ a 35 mm camera. See pic at: <http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_36...tm#3637952>

Used a Magnum GP .65 for power.
