Telemaster bash
 

Ok all you aerodynamicist and experienced kit bashers...what about this?

Convert the classic Senior Telemaster trainer to a low wing tail dragger with the same dihedral and positive incidence in the wing and stab as the top wing version....maybe change the ailerons to larger barn door style with slightly more area than the current strip version....powered by a sweet and smooth saito 100..... design/build the fuse to be Sig Hog like but more boxy.

I always wanted to bash the telemaster, they are so much fun to fly....wanted to do the bird a new way...

Thanks for your ideas..

Go for it.......the 4 star series are a lot like that as well of some others that are similar.

I can't be certain, however, I think this may have already been done. It was in the 70s or early 80s I think. The idea just seems familiar to me. With the Telemasters longevity the idea seems logical.

Not meaning to "Rain on your Parade" and you have my whole hearted support! Do it, To it!

Yea, I vaguely remember such a mod and Gizmo is correct, the 4star 120 is very close to what I would wind up with.

Thanks.

The Goldberg Tiger is also along those lines, just saw it in a mag the other day. I just completed a Sr. Kadet that is a blast, flatened wing tha is shortened one rib-bay abd is simi-symetrical, tail dragger with a 91 fs Mag on the front.

I thouhgt about doing the same thing awhile back..
I was a semi profile wing and determined I was jsut building a 4 star the hard way :)
Funny thing is Hobby Lobby did make a low wing tele

It was the Telesport

I found a few bad pics of a kit on Ebay..
