Split Wing Sr Telemaster (oz9535)

About this Plan

Senior Telemaster Split Wing Mod. Drawings and instructions showing modification to the Senior Telemaster (oz5044) plan, allowing the wing to be split into 2 parts for easier transportation.

Quote: "First, the objectives. A two-piece wing, easy installation and removal, and strong as horse radish - or garlic, maybe.

Since functional lift and drag struts are a MUST with 2-piece wings that are not supported by tubes, then construction could be light and simple. And since no one in their right mind would use rubber bands on anything but sailplanes, gliders and maybe small R/C stuff, the old dowel-and-nylon bolt system would suffice. All that was required, then, was to separate the wing halves and use some sort of 'key' to align them, while being mounted with a leading edge dowel in each panel and a bolt at the trailing edge. The ailerons were moved inboard to shorten the drive horns (3/16" mild steel welding rod) and slanted forward to achieve differential up and down deflection (Clark Y type foil, y'know).

Of course there would have to be an aileron servo in each wing, with a Y to the Rx. The 6"in or so blank TE was then at the tips and was built with "washout". (No flaps on this one!). When building the fuse, the forward cabin bulkhead was replaced by a 1/4" ply with a large cutout for access to tank, batteries, etc..."

Note: this is not a complete plan to build a Telemaster. This is a modification to the existing plan.

Note: these drawings are not to scale.

Hi Mary/Steve, attached a notes on How to modify telemaster Sr in splitted wings for easy transporting. I found it enclosed on a used Telemaster plan I bought on Ebay, it seems like a letter from a modeller to another modeller, but interesting. regards Pit
