- how many flights on your Magnum in total? 0-5 6-10 11-20 21-30 More?
- how many total loss crashes?
- how many incidents needing repair?
- how many broken props?
1st magnum lasted over 100 flights. My current magnum has over 180 flights.(im trying to get weston jacket if i reach 500 flights)
The first crash was caused by worn out battery socket in transmiter. The magnum at full bore came down spectactualy on the backside of a motor cycle dirt jump in the adacent field. No motorcycle was hit, otherwise it would have been a mid air...!!
Early props 8x10 caused problem launching.
My 2nd and current model when new, I carried out the following mods.
1 Beef up captive nut housing with more ply. Beef up where wing dowles insert in fusalage.
2 change wing dowles for nylon bolts with head cut off.
3 cut fusalage bottom for access and glass side walls
4 Tuff coat all film edges
5 install 10 oz tank
6 fllorescent film under wing
Many Broken props.!!! But if you set prop to horizontal against compression then this helps ALOT
Many glow plugs BLOWN..!!!
Many gallons of fuel. Have used prosynth 10 and 15 %
All landings are dead stick from empty tank.(might explain many blown plugs..)
All flights at full throttle. High dives, U shape most of the time.
Awesome plane. TONS of fun and great adrenaline
Here are some Vids of mine.
