Towing Banners with Telemaster 150
I have a 124" wingspan telemaster, the guy that built the plane downsized it from a 150" kit. The airplane has a Zenoah G38 for power, and weighs in at 22 pounds. What do you guys think about towing banners behind this plane? Do you think the plane would have enough power? What size banner would be appropriate? How do you rig the banners? Any pictures would be appreciated.

RE: Towing Banners with Telemaster 150
I found another guy on here that had a brilliant idea for the release on the banner. I saved a picture of it on my computer, but I just have'nt had the time to setup the banner yet. I'm pretty sure I know how to do the release system now, but I don't know if I should take off with the banner trailing behind or take-off with it wrapped up under the plane. And I'm not sure how I would rig another setup to unravle it once I got some altitude. And also the plane is going to be off balance with that banner trailing behind, so i'm not sure how it would handle. It would be great to hear from someone who has done it before.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_25...90/key_/tm.htm Check out post 2228... This is my 30% Super Decathlon with a G-62 up front at 29 lbs. It tows a banner nice. Here's a pic of a banner being towed. Hope this helps.
