Default RE: Magic 60

Back when the MK Magic became available in the glass kit a friend of mine had one. I got to fly it a few times and fell in love with it. You could do three rolls and just barely touch the elevator. The plane was very fast with the gear retracted and a tuned pipe buried within the fuselage. With the inverted engine and the added chin area, bury the engine inside the fuselage which gave it a very clean look.

The Pico 60 re engine had an inflight mixture control so you could tweek the mixture with the radio. That made it very nice to start and adjust the needle if needed without having to get to the needle valve.

I had to have one.
