A quick and easy to build all laser cut precision kit---perfect for the novice builder as well as the experienced modeler |  |
The new Micro Telemaster kit is a huge step forward in easy to build and fun to fly RC model airplanes. Totally laser cut from premium balsa for a quick building experience with the precision that only laser cutting can give you. Step-by-step photo illustrated instructions and a full size set of plans make the process clear and enjoyable. The design has been totally updated and incorporates a convenient magnetically held battery hatch on the top front of the fuselage. The warp resistant wing incorporates diagonal wing ribs in addition to the conventional ribs. This wing design is far less susceptible to warping due to the covering than other wing designs. A unique wing mounting system using rare earth magnets at the trailing edge holds the wing in position, no rubber bands necessary. This is totally solid and will not release in the air, but in the event of a poor landing resulting in a wing tip strike the wing will pop off without damage to either it or the fuselage---a great design for the novice flyer. With a ready to fly weight of about 8-1/2 ounces the flight performance is amazing making this a great project for the novice builder and flyer yet still great fun for the experienced builder. The power setup that we recommend has enough power to pull this airplane straight up and at 1/3 throttle the airplane will easily maintain altitude. Flight times are long, up to 1/2 hour, giving you lots of time to enjoy your flight. All the other typical flight characteristics of the Telemaster line are intact, it has a gentle stall, flys slowly, reacts solidly and is a blast to fly. Controls are Elevator, Rudder and Throttle
Technical Specifications:
| Length: | 24" |
| Wingspan: | 34-1/2" |
| Flying Weight: | 6-9 oz. |
| Controls: | Rudder, Elevator, Throttle |
| Wing Area: | 186 sq. in. |
| Wing Loading: | Less than 7oz. per sq. ft. |

I purchase two of the Tele Micros, one for me and one for my grandson age 13. I will be assisting him in the buildout of this model as soon as I finish mine. The kit is very easy to build providing the instructions are followed and patience is exercised in the construction. However there are a few areas that I think need improvement; 1) the kit should include instructions on how to install and hook up the recommended electronic accessories (for us beginners.), 2) the servo wire is too flimsy (I threaded a 1/8" sq balsa strip about 12" long & glued it to the wires to minimize bending, 3) the leading edge of the stabilizer should be beefed up to at least 1/8" X 3/16", and 4) what are the 'registration holes' located at the top of the fusalage wing mount? A response from the designer would be appreciated.

this kit is everything they say about it. excellent balsa grade parts and hardware, fast assemble,accurate alignment of all parts on the wing and fuselage.some minor sanding and shapeing of the leading edge and hinge areas requires very delicate handleling, just take your time and don't rush it. for its size and weight it is a very strong airframe when finished. from start to finish it is a very straight and forward build for anyone that has had at least some minor airplane building experience. if you have never built a kit of this type just get some help from someone that has and you will be very happy with this kit. if your a beginner just read,read and read again before you glue, again take your time and do not rush it. assembly instructions needs a little more detail / explanation on some parts of the build for beginners.
