Status: offline 		Thanks Greg,

Covering is Ultracote, and paint on the fuselage from the front of the wing forward.

It flew pretty well overall and I'm glad I built it.

If you look closely at the pictures, the rudder servo tray is removable, and the wing nuts that hold the wings in place. A safety- backup system are two small balsa blocks that are velcro tied to the front bulkhead. These will keep the wingnuts from going any more than a quarter turn in the event the loosen.

Ryan McLachlan was setting up his plane next to us this morning and we timed assembly of the Magic- it took 1 minute and 45 seconds from car to carry. No tools needed to assemble.

All the best,
Don
