That is not the first complaint ive heard about the magic's weak rudder. I am still wavering on selling mine to wingspan99, or slicing the hinges and building a larger rudder. I would assume it would need wires or some other methods of strengthening. How much larger do you think the rudder needs to be? I am thinking mine should be around 3 3/4 max, which should equate to a blast with the os32 and the macs pipe. It takes my 3 3/4 lb extra and accelerates it obscenely while vertical. What is the thinking behind the 46 and up sized motors on this airframe? Is it just "because it was there", or am i just powering mine too low? I thought the intent of this plane was to be low, slow, and vertical. I would think that with that massive amount of wing area, you could take it up high, shut it off, and fly it like a sailplane. I may keep the 32 in my extra, and find a used cheap supertigre 45 for it, if it seems like it needs more power. Shoot, I think this thing would fly nicely with an la 46 swinging an 11/5, 11/6, or maybe even an 11/7 APC.
