Hi Eric,

If you can fly the PZ J-3 Cub then you can easily fly the Magister. People don't realize that the smaller parkflyers are harder to fly than the bigger planes. This is largely due to the size intimidation. You'll find that the larger planes do exactly ehat you tell them to do without all the twitchy corrections needed on a parkflyer.

The PZ P-51 will be a handful as a second plane. I would recommend an aerobatic but tough EPP foamie wing like a Zagi to gain experience before attempting a P-51.

I replaced my stock Multiplex ESC on the Magister with a Jeti [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/jeti.htm]JES030[/link] 30-35amp ESC that can handle a 10-cell NiMH pack or 3-cell Lithium pack. The Jeti ESC comes with an On/Off switch so I'll post a photo on my mounting technique.

I hope to test it out later today.
