Default RE: Multiplex Magister as a first plane?

The Magister, in RTF form with the stock battery and motor weighs about 5 pounds. That means this plane will cause a lot of damage if you hit something or someone with it.

I would STRONGLY suggest you NOT fly this in an open park area or where people or property may be exposed. Join a club and get instruction.

This is a great trainer plane, but NOT a park flyer by any stretch of the imagination.

An 8 ounce GWS Tiger Moth is a park flyer. A 16 ounce Aerobird is a Parkflyer. An 84 ounce Magister is NOT a parkflyer, especially in the hands of a total newbie without the aid of an instructor and a buddy box.

I would be very nervous to fly this plane in an open park area myself. Just to much risk of hurting someone.
