Hobby Express Micro-Telemaster Kit

[TadWaddell]

Hey fellas, I was wondering if anyone has built one of these kits...

I am really intrigued with the size, perfect for flying when I am at work behind the firehouse. I also would love to build a plane from a "box of sticks". Covering will be a new experience for me, with some help I will get it though. I plan on reusing some components I have lying around in other DTFB planes already so I should be able to get her airborne for around $100, incuding buying covering tools and covering.

Looking forward to your opinions.

I actually was looking at that very plane this morning...Trying to decide if I want to build a kit or just scratch build one.

Telemasters have been around for a long long time. Excellent airplanes. Perfect for behind the firehouse.

Tad, its such a long time since February. By now you have probably built and flown it. It would be great to find out how the project worked out.

Truths, I joined FT forums in Feb, I posted that just the other day. Have not bought it or built it yet.

It's a nice kit and reasonably stable flyer. Well suited for a beginner to intermediate pilot.
