Hi all. The Magic was never the success that the Curare was. As someone who regarded Hanno as just short of God (still do), I was very dissappointed with mine. I never met anyone who liked their magic. All seemed to regret putting the time into it. No small wonder then that it earned the nickname "tragic". I suppose it all boiled down to trying to improve on what was already almost perfection for the then schedule, the Curare. I think Hanno,s next effort the very simple Calypso was the perfect way to demonstrate that in F3A its the pilot skill that counts in the end. I hope he is still keeping well,and on the offchance that he may read this, Happy christmas Hanno,the greatest. Paul Brennan.
