Default Magic Hand RC Yak

Anyone heard of these guys?? TBM is listing their planes and the price is right!! I am looking at the 73" and it looks sweet. Looking for any feedback. It looks like the plane is on preorder right now.

Thanks
Jeff

maineflyer,

I first saw these in the February issue of Model Aviation magazine. There also is a 67" and both are rated for 20-26cc engines. Looks like a good buy. I'd probably try one if I hadn't already bought my WH Extra 260.

I saw the models at the Beijing Model Expo in October last year.

These are the finest looking planes that I have ever lay eyes on. They are very nicely finished in Oracover and are very very light with excellent Hardware.

It's a pity the guys were not interested in an Order from South Africa[:@]

driesbabe,
Thanks for the heads up. I have seen where TBM will have them in country on Mar 7th and I will be doing a build thread on the 73" once I receive it. I am going to put a new OS 1.60 pumped in it. If it flies well I will probably look at a 50cc one shortly.
