one here with a 46, pretty good plane. depends on what you want from it, the Cougar is more of a chucker "abuse me you wimp, come on that all you got, wuss" plane

the Magic extra, well it's just abused by your average club sport pilot who thinks he can now 3D
the Magic is again a club abuse model but for slower more floaty style.
the differnce is the Cougar will give you two fingers back when you think your being rough with it.
