I'm getting ready to start building a senior telemaster and it seems that quality build threads are not in abundance. I have searched for days trying to find some decent pics and general infoon the build and haven't really found much. Anyways I have build a few models before, two mini telemasters (one scratchbuilt) and a GP Gentle Lady. I bought this kit off a guy on the forums who started it many years ago. The tail was built poorly and damaged and the quality of the wood in the rest of kit was pretty bad so I'm just going to scratch build this one. I don't really like the way the fuselage is designed so I'm going to draw up some new plans. Instead of the balsa stick formers for everything aft of the wing, I'm going to make some out of ply. I'm also going to change the side sheeting to the shape of the mini telemaster (I think it looks better and adds a little more strength). In addition to the above changes, I will also be adding slotted flaps, extended rudder, servo for each aileron and flap, mount the rudder and elevator servos in thefuselage near the tail (no sense in two feet of control rods), take out some dihedral, bigger fuel tank for longer flights (24oz), digital camera for pics and video, bomb bay, and possibly tow hook attachment point for towing small sailplanes, probably no bigger than 2 meter. Will be powered by an O.S. .65 LA

I would like to see you pics and mods of any size telemasters to help spark ideas and to get me motivated to get started lol

In adddition, I'm specifically looking for close ups of thesenior telemaster fuselage before covering from different angles. Also, any thoughts on shortening the length of the fuselage by an inch or two (strictly for cosmetic purposes)?

Thanks!
