Hey guys,
I am thinking about ordering the Hobby Lobby Sr. Telemaster. I tried searching on here but I couldn't find a thread for it besides the glow-electric conversion threads. I would like to be able to hover and I want to use a 4-stroke. We have 2 guys in our club who have the sr. telemaster both with a Saito 100. They will almost hover but drops out after a few seconds. Also looking for a way to bolt the wings on rather than using the 30 rubber bands everytime. Any help would be appreciated or just point me to the right thread. Thanks!
It sounds as though you would be better off building the kit than modifying an ARF to do the things that you want it to do. Larger control surfaces are needed for 3D aerobatics, something that is a PITA to do right off the bat with an ARF. Bolt-on wings is another thing that makes the kit route better than the ARF route.
If you still don't want to build the model, how about biting the bullet and offer to pay someone to build the kit for you with the mods you want incorporated? I've done that back when I worked too many hours to build (seventies). Good luck.
