Good luck with your magic, I had a few of them with a Irvine .53. Just watch out landing the plane the construction is crap! any hard landing in grass will rip the fuse in half.
There are threads out there that tell you to beef up the plane. I used 3/16 square balsa and thin CA. I just ran the square stock right next to the main beams all along the fuse length, anywhere I could. I doubled up where I could. I used sheet balsa on the fuse walls next to the landing gear so it would have stronger wall support in case of hard landing. I put extra thin CA anywhere I could reach.
I had a VERY hard landing one time from a wind gust and you could hear it hit hard. It just broke a prop and bent the gear a tiny bit. The fuse was perfect. So reinforce the fuse and you will be a happy camper.
For $99 this is an awesome flyer. I'm using the Irvine .53 too. Nice combo.
