One of the better flyers at our field flies one and does really well with. He has a Webra 32 on it and I've read that's about the best motor for it.

I've had four of them over the past four years (a new one each year!) and find them the most enjoyable small 3d airplane to fly.
Best combination for power is a Thunder Tiger Pro .36 with an APC 12.25 x 3,75 propeller with 10% Cool Power.

I had one with a ASP 52 four stroke absolutly a blast for 99 bucks doesn't do outside stuff real well but everthing else is a hoot
My son-in-law has a saito 82 on his and it is ballistic

Awesome plane for the money, I had one Modeltech Magic and 2 Magic extras. 12.25x3.75 definately prop of choice for 3d. After crashing all three I built a Frankenstein out of the rubble

Any pictures of the flying rubbles ?
One guy at the field did the same:ucando wing and rudder with a stick fuselage.Fly great.

4-stroke is the only way to go! add tail weight until c.g. is at 5.25 to 5.5 inches. flat spins are unreal and hovers like a dream. Every weekend everybody wants to know if i am going to fly majic! Stay low flylow and hang on for the ride!

Do you know anything about gyros for hoving? Nobody at my field does but someone said something about one but does not anything about it.

Someone here swears by the Saito 56 on the Magic also. Rob and others are right about keeping them light and flying on the wing IMHO.

With a 52 or 56 you can fly on the wing or prop take your pick there just plane fun
