went for broke on the 8 footer. Planning on building the 12 footer here real soon. probably put a 30cc on it. I really want to put a 4 stroke gasser on it. Been wanting to convert one of those real bad, We'll see.
Like I was saying above it's way, way over powered but The guys I fly with wants me to pull their gliders up. So I suppose the extra power will help with that. I bet I could darn near hover right now. It will climb almost verticle I am sure it would with a different wing.
I bought the ARF from hobby-lobby. If I was gonna do the 8ft again I would do the kit. I am not impressed at all with the quality of the arf. It seems to be hot glued together, crappy hindges and real junk covering. But I guess for 210.00 you can't expect much. I went through and reglued as much as I could using epoxy and wood glue did alot of reinforcing to handle the gas engine. Over all it turned out well I am very impressed with the way the telemaster handles the weight of the gas engine.
