Well, I have a flying field with asphalt runways about 10 minutes from my house, but I had been planning on flying in some fields across the street from my house. No runway there, but the grass is pretty short. I think I'll try the brushed first; since its just 50 for the motor.

Has anyone ever put retracts into a magi? I've been looking for a big enough plane to take the weight of some neat mods..and with the brushless it seems like it wouldnt be a problem.
