Modeltech Magic 3D?
Guys,
Can anyone out there give me some advice on the Modeltech Magic 3D? I have seen this plane for years, but never gave a care for it. Now, I have a .46 engine and it needs a new home. The Magic looks really good, now how about the performance? Any input would be fantastic. Thank You. Stinger40 |

Have you looked at the hanger 9 tribute. I've got one with a os .46 and a 12x4 prop. This has been an awesome combo.

RE: Modeltech Magic 3D?
Hmmmm....... quite a thought. Does it do the usual 3D? I have the E-flite Tribute. I LOVED how it flew. I just retired it. I just might get the Tribute (H9). Does the .46 pull it out of a hover well? Does it even hover well on a .46?

The 46 in the magic is a good combination, thats what mine was in until it basically wore out, the 46 is now in the Modeltech 3 Demon, awesome cobination, one of the few fun flies that will knife edge even knife edge loop

This will give you an idea on what that Magic 3d can do it is much better with a 4 stroke though like the saito 56 in these videos

I bought one when they first came out. I put a Saito .56 in it and after 20 flights I put it in the attic. Sold it just last summer for $50.00. My .02 worth.

RE: Modeltech Magic 3D?
Your skills must have been way ahead of the Magic it's something an expert wouldn't enjoy but for the average flyer it's a fun plane
I've had mine for 2 years now and still have fun with it |
RE: Modeltech Magic 3D?
It does do all of the usual 3d. This was the first planes I have done Inverted flat spins, water falls and hovers with. The plane only calls for a .36. Mine will pull out of a hover with the .46ax and a 12x4 apc at 1/2 throttle (the 46 require mount modification not hard to do) I let a friend fly my first one and he crashed it. But I loved the plane so much I had to buy another one. |

I already have a U-Can-Do .46 with a Saito 1.00 on it. I think I am going to buy the Matt Chapman Cap 580 (.46) and put my .46 on it. I might just use the 580 for sport, some flatspins, tumbles, but I'm sure it won't hover very well with a .46 on it. My U-Can-Do does fine. I'm just concerned if the .46 will be enough power to pull an upline on the 580. I appreciate all the inputs on the Magic and the Tribute. Thanks!

When I sold the M3D I got a GP Ultimate that came in at 7 pounds for the 46. The 46FX pulled even stronger with the SLpitts. With a 12x4apc it could just about hold a hover, but no pull out.(did these up high with this plane). It had good power for sporting around--seemed to have a lot of vertical. It did much better than I was expecting it to. |
RE: Modeltech Magic 3D?
i have my magic, it's a good plane, dont have a great 3d performance, you can make hovers, flat spins harriers, blenders and some times rolling harriers. you can see my videos, i hope this can be useful for you.
