Status: offline 		Any expert (and trustworthy!) builders within 20 miles of Fullerton, CA that want to put together a Magnum ARF for around $100-$120?

(i.e. take the servos, pushrods, engine, etc from a crashed Magnum and install them in a New-In-Box Magnum ARF [while also setting up the rest of the plane])

Builder should have good ratings on RCU!

Status: offline 		The Magnum goes together very quickly. Did your old one crash because of elevator failure? I did not like the stock setup. Modified mine with 1 servo for each elevator, ran it outside of fuse to allow for straight run with 4-40 rods. Strong, no slop and working great.

No, when I was approaching to land, I accidently hit the aileron high rate switch instead of the elevator high rate switch (hadn't flown in awhile and I guess I was a bit rusty). All of a sudden I had way to much aileron right before touchdown and cartwheeled on the wing.

I'm building mine right now and hate that flakey tube affair and really don't have a good way of bending and sliding the rods thru the tubes and coming out in a good line.
