RE: Multiplex Magister RTF
Hey all,
Finally got to maiden our AXIfied Magister today. This thing flys NICE! At 53 oz's, it floats forever with the throttle chopped. Landings were greasy smooth, sits down soft and solid. What a pleasure to fly such a docile bird. The AXI2808/24, on a 10x5E and 3S 2200 mAH 15C was a bit under powered, as we expected, but not bad at all. Solid 10-12 minutes of flying with lots of full throttle climbs. Takeoff was mellow, full throttle will carry 20ยบ climb, any more and it would stall and roll off to one side. Nice big round loops were within the power range though, so I call it good.
Took absolutely no trimming to fly straight and level, nice surprise. Slow flying was rock-solid, not even a little hint of a stall. Cruising at 1/2 throttle was very comfortable and adequate power to make even tight turns without losing altitude. Definitly not enough aileron to roll, even at max deflection on high rates. Just too lazy, got 1/4 roll in and backed out. Figured if I got it inverted, I might lose it. Made 3-4 landings, every one was near perfect. Flying in 5-7 mph breeze, solid and stable all the while. She's a keeper!
