Hobby Lobby Mini-Telemaster HLA114 – 47″ Wingspan – Rare Discontinued ARF RC Aircraft – Estate
Up for sale is an original Hobby Lobby Mini-Telemaster HLA114, featuring a 47″ wingspan and factory-built ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) construction.
This is the factory-built version of Hobby Lobby’s classic Mini-Telemaster and represents a particularly desirable version of the legendary Telemaster family. Unlike the traditional Mini-Telemaster builder’s kit, the HLA114 was supplied with the major airframe components already built and factory covered, dramatically reducing the amount of work required before flying.
Now discontinued and increasingly difficult to locate in original unassembled ARF condition, the HLA114 combines the famous gentle Telemaster flight characteristics with a compact, highly practical size.

Classic Telemaster Design
The Mini-Telemaster brings the famous Telemaster formula into a much more compact aircraft.
* Stable high-wing configuration
* Lightweight traditional wood construction
* Factory-built and covered airframe
* Pre-bent main landing gear
* Steerable tailwheel
* Designed for straightforward final assembly

The original HLA114 was specifically developed for pilots who wanted Mini-Telemaster performance without having to construct the entire aircraft from a traditional wood kit.

Flight Characteristics
Like the larger aircraft in the Telemaster family, the Mini-Telemaster became known for exceptionally pleasant flying characteristics.
* Smooth and predictable handling
* Excellent slow-flight capability
* Gentle low-speed behavior
* Responsive without being demanding
* Short takeoff capability
* Relaxed approaches and landings
* Compact size suitable for considerably smaller flying areas than the larger Telemasters
The result is a traditional balsa aircraft equally suited to relaxing sport flying, training, and pilots who simply appreciate the distinctive flying qualities of the Telemaster design.
