Hi guys,
2 different kits: The MK Magic was all wood except for the engine cowl and pipe cover on the fuselage top. The glass version was kitted by Quality Line kits (if memory serves) and distributed by Hobby Barn. The glass fuselages back than were pretty solid and didn't 'oilcan' anywhere near as much as modern glass fuslages, but they were pretty heavy. Now, composites are used to reinforce glass fuselages and keep the weight very low. I still prefer balsa. Building is much faster since the advent of CA type adhesives. Try building an all wood kit with white glue... been there, done that - never again
The old pattern ships sure flew well - love those horizon to horizon rolling maneuvers at 125 mph!!
Happy FLying,
Will
