Senior telemaster Re-Build

[The Hangar]

Thanks! I'm finishing up one of the fuse sides, and I already need another roll of covering!! I'm thinking I may need 5 rolls to cover it with

Oh wow lol.

I'd hate to be paying your covering bill. LOL.

My preference is always SolarFilm but several years back I tried some UltraCote. I really like the stuff and use it on any airframe strong enough to handle the shrink rate and the weight. Plus it looks great!

It is super easy to work with as well! I missed an opportunity on buying a plane from a buddy, so now I have $475 to dump into this bird lol

The fuse is now 90% covered

90% covered, 70% to go!

Pretty much lol. I've also got the 8-foot wing to cover still!!!😬😬
I'm enjoying covering for once as ultracote is such a forgiving material

You'll love how well the Telemaster flies. My Electro Gas Telemaster .40-size came out to the field with me today and got another flight in. It was too windy to *really* enjoy it, but it handled the wind better than expected. I'd like to build a giant version some day...

You should build the megamaster!

Maybe some day. Too many other projects are in line right now including a 150% Kadet Senior.

I'm at a stopping point for today. Feeling pretty burned out

I remember some that took/are taking even longer...

I had one of those! Whatever you do, don't put a .60 (or bigger) on it...

Must've been spectacular. Do you have video of that?

That's one heck of a debris field! Was it hit by a S.A.M.?

Huh. I was reading that a .90 is perfect for it... guess not lol. I'll probably give my Evo 15cc a try anyways. I don't plan on doing aerobatics, just touch and go's and lazy circuits

Maybe that is referencing a .90 4-stroke. 15cc is pretty stout for a Senior Telemaster, but should work fine as long as you can slow it down enough to land!
