I have been flying my magic for about a year now. I can hover touch the tail and also land in a hover. I am pretty good at it. But I have a O.S 46 FX in it. Will a 32 help in it. I heard that it will be lighter if you put that motor on it. I notice to that my UCD looks like it is going to do a good harrie when i get the motor run enough so that I can do all of the 3D. My magic though it will do it but you have to keep moving the sticks and the throttle. Also I like the magic because I have crashed it from hovering serveral times and I have broke anything except for the wing tips. I even went up to do a hover and the motor quick and it didnt break anything. I loved the Magic. I hope you UCD can do more.

I too have had a few botched hover landings. My wing tips are gone. But I haven't broken anything except that either. Looks kinda trashed now, but It taught me to hover and tail-touch. I'm running a .46fx and do not have .30 size engine so can't help you there.

I prefer mine flying light as oppossed to some that Ive flown with .46's in 'em. Ive got a TT.42 with a MCP in mine and it weighs about the same as most .32's and has about the same power. Mine is 3lbs 13oz and flies great with unlimited vertical. The best part of all as that the TT.42 only cost $49.00.

TailSpnr,
Where'd you get the TT .42 for $49?

I usually get mine from Tower or my LHS will usually match or even beat Tower. You cant beat these little motors for Magics, PBF's and other little light FF's. Especially with a MCP, I mean they're great motors by themselves but when you add an MCP they are even better.

Ok, thanks!

Ditto on the .42 i had one.....what a great engine......easy to adjust and not bad power....did i mention lite?
