Default Senior Telemaster ARF modifications

Due to the overwhelming generosity of Al Gutkin I will be up and flying in a month or so. I decided to start ANOTHER Telemaster thread to highlight the modifications I will be making.

1. Make new main wing spars to get rid of the dihedral. I'm going to need some input on the strongest wood I can get. I went to the local Lowe’s and they had solid oak, would that work?

2. Mount the rudder and elevator servos in the tail. I'm going to need to beef things up a bit but it shouldn't be too hard.

3. Bolt on wing modification. I'm not sure how I'm going to go about this on yet but I have some ideas.

4. Modify the cabin for another bomb drop.

5. Make another rudder with about 3x the surface area.

I had planned on recovering the model but the yellow is starting to grow on me. I'm going to have to try and match the color with some ultracote.
Thanks again Al for the gift. I had to keep my son from getting into the box on the drive home.
