Steve Colman Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I was looking for a small 4ch model that I could fly in a small field close to my house to develop my skills. I didn't want one of the UM's and after a bit of a search I came across the Telink Tetra as sold by Robotbirds. Model specs: 24" wingspan, EPP, AUW 90 - 110g depending on motor/esc, servos, etc. This model is a little off the mainstream and there's not much info available about it save for a few ( all positive) remarks on the Robotbirds site and a couple of videos on youtube. I decided to take the plunge and ordered one. This is a kit that has to be built although it's not exactly conventional and may put some people off. In addition, the supplied manual is awful: a slightly better online version is available on the Telink website. However, it's often a case of best guess when building as no dimensions are provided. Despite this, anyone with previous experience can put this model together but I would advise against for a complete beginer. Well, after a somewhat frustrating ( at times) build I finally maidened this little plane today. Within a few minutes all of my frustrations melted away. First flight the model was a tad tail heavy but not unmanageable. A few flights later when everything was dialed in the Tetra proved to be a lovely smooth flying little gem of a model. It will fly fast or slow, loop easily from straight and level flight, rolls, stall turns and inverted flying are all within its capabilities. To conclude: I am over the moon with this little model and it gives me all that I was looking for. Despite the somewhat unconventional and frustrating build at times, the end result was well worth it. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plummet Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Can you provide a link to it being sold? I have been looking at Robotbirds and googling, but have not come up with much. Ta. Plummet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
