I recently found out that the silkspan of today is different (not as good) as the silkspan you and I remember. I would not use it again to cover a wing with. Yeah I'm an old 2 stroke junkie myself, and love the smell of glow fuel burning in my engines. This Magician marks my return to C/L flying after 35 years of not flying C/L. After observing my buddies with their electric pattern airplanes, and talking to some high level C/L stunt flyers who switched to electric I decided to give it a try. I should be able to get a lot more practice with the e-Magician than a glow powered version simply because I can fly it at the school yard 2 miles from home, instead of having to travel 20 miles to a C/L flying field. And believe it or not there are performance advantages to electric C/L over glow. Any how I should have it painted and ready to go in the next two weeks. Then when the weather breaks (we still have a foot of snow) I'll test fly it, and practice the stunt pattern.
