Default RE: Need Magic 3D setup guidance

Decided to keep the .52FS on the Fokker for now (stupid landing gear holddowns let go on me!) and got an OS .46AX for the Magic. Reading the latest review on that engine (either RCM or MAN) I saw that it will spin the 12.25X3.75APC prop with ease so figured the lighter AX would be better than the FS. Only had to add 1/2oz to the tail to balance at the suggested CG.
Got two flights out of it before the landing gear de-welded itself above the right wheel. Easy fix but kind of a pisser.
Was unable to hover it but that is probably due to newness with the plane. Might start moving the cg back a bit also.
Fun plane other than those probs.

run everything stock and you will be happy
in my opion a 52 is to big
its a very light plane
