metal gear servos in Magic 3D
 

The instructions say to use metal gear servos on the ailerons on the Model Tech Magic 3D. Is this necessary - or can I use standard servos using a .40 engine?

On one of the other Migic threads here someone said you could use standard servo's (Do a search for the word magic) I'm using 9402's (100 oz), on my Magic, will test fly tomorrow....I hope...2° as I type this.

Im using hitec standard servos and works great.
Never had one strip out and Ive tested them when I touch down hard. Think it helps having the pull pull system. Im new to this site and its cool having the ability to put pics up here. Heres a pic of mine.

SHOWOFF!!
 

Hey 3D Pilot,
Looks good! Someday I hope to be able to do that....only at least two mistakes high! Good pic.

Good the picture was blurry enough that you couldn't see the fishing line holding the plane up. Hahahahaha. That is why I bought this $99 airplane. I did the same thing with my 30% carden extra and the motor died. Needless to say the prop and spinner cost more than the $99 magic.

Has anyone noticed that the rudder is not that effective on this plane? To hang on the prop Im using more ailerons to keep it lined up. The rudder just doesn't do it. It really makes things difficult when you get done flying this plane and then go get a different plane like a something extra, (the rudder is very effective on that one) and its like learning all over.
