Your Telemaster kit can be constructed with several options. You can build it as a standard gear (tail
dragger), the classic Telemaster stance or a more modern tricycle gear model. You can also build
either of these to accommodate the Telemaster Float kit for operation off of water. As you progress
through the assembly procedures we will point out the various deviations from the basic standard
gear configuration.

Assembling the registration pins.
We will be using two types of pins; regis-
tration pins and push pins.
Registration
pins
are assembled from two fiber blocks
and two specially prepared 2-1/2” nails.
Push pins
will be used to temporarily se-
cure parts to the building board.
Locate the two pinning blocks supplied.
Note that they have a counter sink on one
side. This is the side that the nail must be
inserted from. Place the block on a piece
of scrap wood to prevent the fiber block
from tearing out when the nail is driven
through. Now hammer the nail through
just far enough to exit the block. Next
place the block up against the side of the
bench or other heavy object and finish in
-
stalling the nail. When done, the nail head
should be in the recess so the block can
sit flat on the bench. Repeat this process
with the second pinning block assembly.
Locate the firewall sections, FW-A and
FW-B. Place FW-B on the registration
pins. Test fit FW-A; make sure you have
the correct orientation so the holes line
up. Apply thick CA to FW-B and then in-
stall FW-A with the labeled side up.
Install four #6-32 blind nuts in the holes
provided from the FW-B side.
Assembly of the firewall is underway. FW-B has been installed
on the pins and now glue will be applied to the top of FW-B and
then FW-A will be installed on the pins and pressed into contact
with FW-B.

NOTE: The bolt pattern on the firewall will
fit the Hobby Lobby 40 size glow motor
mount Cat #MT11022 as well as the elec
-
tric motor mount supplied.
