Do brace the tail on a Magic Extra
 

If you are building a Magic Extra brace the horizontal stabilizers to keep them attached. I had a small problem with Tigger 1, I was doing a gentle loop and the whole right stabilizer and elevator broke off. I was lucky that the manager was watching the flight when it happened. The plane was replaced even though I landed it and is now a display plane; I finished Tigger 2 with triangle stock on the bottom of the stabilizer and struts to the top of the vertical for support. I don't think ill be breaking one of these off. I do recommend doing some kind of bracing even if it is just a wire loop to keep the tail stiff. Other than that it is a great flying plane and it should be hovering this week if the wind ever dies.
Picture of the broken tail attached, :stupid: I'll post the braced one later.
