Default Magnum problems

The faux carbon definitly has no glue backing. Both mine and another friend, hear that Guido???, friend have the same problem, it just peels off. Mine had about 3° of down thrust, two washers under the front mounting bolts and it was close enough to fly. Flew three flights yesterday, I used a 8X9 prop and tried a 9X7. It flys about the same speed as my Dust, but is a bit more stable and airplanish. Everything does seem to be holing up well. I had a problem with the tank leaking around the stopper, I really had to crank down on the screw to get it to stop, a sullivan stopper or tank are in the future. I don't think this will be a self lauch plane like the Dust or Outlaw are. Anyone doing their own launching?
