Default Anyone Flying a Magic Extra Yet?

I flew mine today for the first time. I followed the instructions on cg. Balanced it at 3.5 inches. the plane flew like it was nose heavy, so I took off the nose weight and it flew better. I think I will have to add a little tail weight to get the plane to fly to my likings. The plane flys similar to the UCD3D. Hovers, Walls, Harrier rolls very similar to the UCD3D. Before removing the nose weight, I did 4 point rolls and slow rolls and rolling circles. I would recommend this
plane as a alternate to the UCD3D on a budget. Oh for those of you wondering what engine I am using, it is a Thunder Tiger
pro 46 and for now a 11X5 APC prop. When the engine is better broken in I will use a 12X4 APC.
The engine has plenty of power for this plane. The plane pitches and rolls in knife edge. I will have to mix them out. I have a cable pull pull on the rudder. I chose not to use the rods that came with the kit. The rudder has alot of authority. I also added a little right thrust.
overall a good little flier
