Senior Telemaster "Plus"
I just received this advertisement from Hobby Lobby regarding an all new Senior Telemaster.
"New Design, More Features, Same Telemaster Style
94 in. wingspan, 64 in. long, 1330 sq. in. wing area (Stab area 320 sq. in.), 9 lbs flying weight. The original Senior Telemaster has been a staple at model fields around the world for over 40 years. A model design doesn't have that kind of longevity if it doesn't do one thing very well-FLY. The phrase "Nothing Flies like a Telemaster" says it all.
Over the years we have received many suggestions from our rabid fans; the Senior Telemaster Plus is our response to these suggestions and requests. You wanted to do away with the rubber band wing mount and one-piece wing; Senior Telemaster Plus has 2 wing panels that slide on aluminum wing joiners and butt up to the fuselage sides. Each wing panel has an aileron and a flap control surface and the upper strut mount blind nut is pre-installed. Wings are small enough for easier transport and field assembly is very quick. You wanted the tail to be removable so we installed the horizontal tails on tube spars just like the wings. With the wings and stabs removed the fuselage is easier to transport and to store. The fuselage cross-section on the Sr Telemaster Plus is much larger than the original, providing the ability to carry a larger payload internally.
This all-new version is covered in genuine Oracover, has built in flaps, quality construction and hardware, and even comes with a camera mounting cover. With the flaps down it will almost hover in a 10MPH wind. Takeoffs and landings are easy and majestic. Swapping batteries or checking your fuel tank is easy with the large magnetic access hatch on top of the fuselage. An illustrated instruction manual is included showing how to assemble the model which will take about 6-8 hours to complete. For 5 channels: Ailerons (2 servos) Flaps (2 servos), Elevator, Rudder and Throttle."
Their web site lists the new Senior Telemaster as "out of stock" but the price tag is what got me...350 smackers! [X(]
