I flew my Magic for the first time today. It was okay. It definately has potential. It is powered with an Irvine .46.

Here's the problem. I balanced the plane at 115mm from the leading edge (as per plans). While inverted, the plane would not even pull up from level. It would just roll back over.

Two other characteristics worth mentioning. It would drop like brick when held in knife edge. It also didn't float quite as well as I had anticipated.

I've never had a "3D" plane before. Judging by these flight characteristics, I'd say this thing is really nose heavy. Is the suggested CG really that far off?

Thanks for any help,
Scott
