RE: Need Magic 3D setup guidance
Well, I got inspired and put my Magic in the air! I sure missed this plane....
I chose to put one of my 46FX's on it with a Slimline pitts muffler. I've got an APC 11.5-4 on it and it will hover with ease power wise. I finally got to do a climbing flat spin! Yeehaw!!!! It's equipped with a Sullivan 8oz. Flextank, A Hitec Electron 6 reciever, 5 Futaba S3001 servos and a Hydramax 670MaH 4 cell AAA (small!) battery. I wrapped the stock gear where it joins at the lower leg with wire and silver soldered it together. I also replaced the "hump" clamps that hold the landing gear and tail wire on with Dubro's version. I remember on my last one these clamps sort of crumbled away after a while. I used the rest of the stock hardware.
I'm having a blast with it!
