Hobby Lobby Mini Telemaster HLA101 – 45″ Wingspan – Classic Balsa RC Aircraft Kit – Estate
Up for sale is a Hobby Lobby Mini Telemaster HLA101, featuring a 45″ wingspan and traditional all-balsa kit construction.
The Mini Telemaster is the compact member of the legendary Telemaster family and was designed as a 48% scale version of the Senior Telemaster, retaining the stable, forgiving flight characteristics that made the Telemaster series a longtime favorite among RC pilots.
With its lightweight construction, generous wing area, and classic high-wing configuration, the Mini Telemaster makes an excellent traditional sport and park-flying aircraft while also representing an increasingly difficult-to-find example of the classic Hobby Lobby kit era.
