Hobby Lobby's 12 Foot telemaster balsa kit. Built over the summer in my Living Room, Air conditioned, with my wife's permission. I put the Turnigy HP50 50 CC Gas Engine 5.5 HP on this Tow Tug and UAV Simulator for testing flight packages and towing up large gliders.

  • ailerons shmalierons..he only needs one anyways

  • I like the upright 50 ...cool

  • How long did it take to build?

  • one of the elevators lol

  • Damn, that camera guy ruined everything with his shitty shooting and yammering.

  • Mentel note, don't use "tite bound 2"

  • The Story about the Telemaster pulling strings for laying telephone cables over rough terrain or valleys is authentic, I have an article about it in and old magazine somewhere, also have articles on how early UAV's were developped from advanced RC models by experienced modelers such as Maynard Hill and others..True Pioneering era..thanks to all those guys..

  • I love how the nosy (and incompetent) cameraman is interrogating the pilot on his build procedure even before the pilot get's the plane back down. I would have told him, "shut up and shoot".

  • ya thats what i meant. lol

  • @jamesyak52 actually...close. But they used to to pull the rope across that would then pull the telephone cables across.

  • the reason why its called a telemaster is because they used it for stringing telephone cable. no joke!

  • The guy on video sucks I hope you build and fly better than you shoot video .put the camera down .

  • Really enjoyed the video! Just bought a 12' Telemaster yesterday that has been stored for many years. Going through it thouroughly to make it airworthy again. See my videos here on youtube (all RC related stuff) and watch for my maiden flight of the 12' Telemaster hopefully in a couple weeks. Thanks again great clip!

  • What a wonderful time, during a maiden with the plane coming apart, to give building tips and flying hints.

  • The guy giving the flying instructions needs to work on his video presentation and steadiness and stop being a back seat pilot. The guy flying the plane knows what he's doing (other then when he glues something) but overall it's a good video guys. The telemasters a great design but quite sluggish. I've had a couple of them and they fly great. It's a nice bird. Keep her in one piece my friend.

  • Awesome....gotta love a TELEMASTER!!

  • Thats a big bird :-) flys so nice and easy just like a Telemaster should. 5*

    Check out some of my videos and see whats flying over at my filed.
