Telemaster 70 Arf
Long ago I purchased a Telemaster 70 ARF from Hobby Lobby. It served me well until I lost control of it in a mature corn field. The only damage was to the wing. Hobby Lobby does not support that ancient model. I would like very much to locate one if one still exists. If I cannot find one specifically for the TM 70 then I would like to find one that approximates it. It is 70" wingspan and 10"chord. If you have one that might work get in touch with me. Thanks

Thanks, Lynn S for your information. In checking with our local model shop they said that the Sig-Kadet Senior wing had a chord about 14". My TM 70 is only 10" with wingspan of 70". The wingspan could vary a little, but the chord would have to be right on.
Thanks again, and ain't this bulletin board the greatest ! ! !

wing
I built a Kadet Senior once, but that was over 10yrs ago. I didn't think it was that wide.
How about the Hobbico trainer planes, 40-60 size?? one of those may work. I know the trainer 60 is a large plane.
It wouldn't be that hard to make a wing. Just find the airfoil shape that you want and adjust the size to 10 inches on a copy machine. You can cut out the ribs from that pattern...very easy to make. I have enlarged the wing of the Littlest Stick before.The plans can be downloaded and printed out on a printer. Then enlarge the airfoil on a copy machine. I would add two more ribs to each wing. Kinkos can enlarge the whole wing plan for you. Just an idea.

Gracias otro vez, Lynn S
I appreciate your input. The guy at the shop said he would keep looking for something that would work. The old damaged wing isn't totally outside of being repaired, and I may wind up doing that, it is that I am out of practice doing the tedious work of putting it all together. At 77 I don't do tedious work like I use to. Besides, I have a Sig Fazer and a Waco Biplane both in good working order with a new 71" J3 Cub ARF due to arrive this week, so I have plenty that I can play with. I haven't flown for over eight years so I am going to have to knock off a thick layer of rust and wanted to do it with the Telemaster just so I wouldn't lose so much if and when I go nose down. I will probably have some of the local club guys get on the box with me for a few trial runs with the Cub and then when I feel confident I will put the other two in the air.
Great flying, Lynn S
