The Magister is from Hitec/Multiplex USA, not from Megatech.

As for the Freedom Flyer, I have personally flown it and have had no problem with it. This is a FOUR channel plane that comes RTF with 3 channels (throttle, rudder, elevator) and an open fourth channel that can be used for a main wing aileron upgrade once you get enough hours. I keep a few extra batteries fully charged so I can swap them out after each one depletes.

The Freedom Flyer also holds up pretty well from the average bangs and bumps...is it perfect? no...but then neither are any of us!

I think as a beginner trainer it's a great deal for only around $150.
