A Madmans's Mod Site: Senior Telemaster Build, Part One

After getting back into the hobby and flying a few RTF and foam planes, I decided I wanted to build my next RC plane. It had been more than 35 years since I had built a wood model, but I excited and anxious to again give it a shot . I decided on a classic kit,  the Telemaster Senior to use for my reintroduction to this lost art form. This German designed model has a long history having been first built sometime around 1967. Eventually, Hobby Lobby started importing them into the U.S.A. and they still produce the kits today as this is where I got my box of balsa from. If your interested in the STM's history you can read more about it here: Having ordered my kit, I set about collecting the basic tools and supplies that I would need for the build. First was a level surface that would except and hold the t-pins that are used to anchor the balsa parts over the plans as you build. For this I built a 2"x4" frame to attached a piece of 5/8" high density particle board, the kind cabinet maker use. The wing span on the Tele is 95" so I built my table 4 feet long to accommodate each wing panel. It might have been nice to have a larger table, but my space was limited. My original thought was to cover the table top with an acoustic ceiling tile as they are fairly level and will easily accept t-pins. Problem was I could not find a supply store that would sell me an individual tile, they all wanted me to buy a $70 box of tiles. So if the big wigs at Lowes or Home Depot are out there, take your box of tiles and... Well I digress. To solve this problem I chose to put a 1/8" layer of luan over the top and anchor it with small paneling nails. This worked fine. Glue , the instructions call for any type of wood glue. I used Titebond II as that's what I had on hand. If I had it to do over I believe I would have rather had the original Titebond formula as it's water soluble and excess glue clean up would be easier. I also used Zap gap filling CA in a few places where pieces were hard to get a clamp on. 30 minute epoxy is needed for joining the wing halves together if your building a one piece wing like I have. Sandpaper , in various grits from #60 to #150.  I mostly used 60grit as it is very course and shapes balsa quickly. The finer grades will be used prior to covering to get a smooth surface. I created sanding blocks by cutting strips of high density particle board 1-1/2"x8"x3/4 and used CA to glue the sandpaper to them.
