I picked up a Magic 3D today. I'm hoping for really good slow and up close flying characteristics. I'd also like this to be the plane with which I learn to hover. I've actually done tail touches with my Pizza Box but I'm not sure it's a plane!

What I'm wondering is-

1) Our field is at about 4500 feet. What engine will be needed to hover this plane. I have a ball bearing .40 and .46 available. I plan on using either a 12x4 or 12.25x3.75 APC prop.

2) Do you NEED metal geared servos or are the regular sport servos okay?

3) Any tips/hints you might have regarding this plane.

I'm willing to get a different engine if need be. I've heard that the TT. 36 is a perfect match. I'm just not sure that it will do the job at altitude.

Thanks,
Scott
