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 will be easier to get it to hover if you build it without dihedral, the lifting tail surface or the flat bottomed airfoil and stick in a 32cc gas engine instead of the .61 they recommend.
In fact, I really question your choice of airframe for your choice of use and intended purpose. There are a LOT better high-alpha designs out there. How about a Yak 54 or an Edge 540? Or a helicopter?
A like comparison to this thread might be: "I want to race my Basset Hound."
