I built my MAGIC on Monday, a week ago. It was a rainy/windy day in Chicago. I flew the snot out of it all last week . Using a ball bearing .46, I tried a few different props, including the APC 12.25 x 3.75 everyon brags about. I didn't like that prop as well as an 11x4 that I have settled on.

It hovers fine now, although it does move around alot faster than other bigger planes I have used. My CG is right at 5", maybe 5 1/8". The square pack battery is next to the throttle servo and there is about an ounce and a half of lead on the tail. The plane balances laterally. Throws are MAX-MAX-MAX . The engine head is down at a 45 degree angle, putting the muffler squarely between the main landing gear.

This is a cool airplane. You get alot of bang for the $99 price tag and fast assembly. And it does an almost unbelievale inverted flat spin. I took it to our clubs annual picnic yesterday. It was a hoot.
