Please send info/pics on converting the wing from rubber bandsthanks
Bob Dietrick

Bob,

Look up my posts on the STM modifications and you will see pic's of how I did mine both kit and ARF versions. If you have the kit version make sure you use wing struts.

I flew a Senior Telemaster for years, with and without floats. I built it from a kit. I made the wing one piece bolt on. I reduced the dihedral.

I had an internal bombay. I powered it with an ASP .91 four stroke. I added struts, for full aerobatic flying.

I could trim it out a 1/3 throttle, and it would do lazy slow circles with the transmitter on the ground. It's just a great airframe.

Notice the three norvel .15 powered 72" telemaster. It was a beast.


If I had to do it again:

Bolt on wing
Struts
Hard points on wings for bombs
Sheet the fuselage for strength
Slightly enlarge rudder (although it is really pretty effective due to the long tail moment)
Large wheel pants (for looks)
Internal Bombay

Hello to all from Portugal, i have buy this Senior Telemaster and i would like to show some mods that i have made in order to fly it with a Zenoha 26cc gas engine. So i hope you dont mind! I would loved to find this first because there are a very good ideas on this abaut the wings etc. So see the pictures. I have put some flaps and a new rear landing gear with a pull-pull sistem. The main gear also changed with a carbon one from Carbon Copy in UK and weel spats also. On-off switch on chanel 5 (mandatory for gas engines) and all the servos and batterys in the rear were i have build a hatch for it with the antena in the vertical position. I have made this system to secure the wings in the front of the fuselage with two pieces of hard wood (i have seen this in a forum) and in the bach with two bolts. Carbon rods on all the wings servo, and a 500ml fuel tank in the back of the fuselage bay. I would love to find a cowl to fit on this but so far nothing. So its ready for is first flight as soon as the weather gets better in Europe!!!
