I am in the process of finishing my Brodak Magician up right now. Got it covered and 3 coats of clear dope on it so far. I was going to put a Brodak 25 in it but instead decided to go electric. Many memories of the police making me leave the school yard as a teenager cause a neighbor called the cops. Shouldn't have this age old problem with electric. I should be able to fly it any time close by my house at the local high school soccer field. Any way I need to put on a couple more coates of clear dope and then some color and it will be done. Should come out around 38 oz. ready to go. Good luck with your Magician.
