I have an original Midwest Magician kit that I bought in the mid 60's. It has a 48 inch wingspan. I don't know if that helps you date things or not. I liked the Magicain because it flew slower than the Ringmaster.

I never did really learn to fly CL. I regret that. Once I learned to fly around in a circle every maneuver I tried to learn cost me an airplane. I had the misfortune of taking to heart the words of a very experienced, expert stunt competitor. He said that once a plane was wrecked and repaired it was too heavy to be of much use. I was so young and inexperienced that I was throwing perfectly repairable airplanes in the trach barrel at the park where I flew without realising that I was talking to a Nats level competitor who had way different standards than most. Money was tight in those days and I fianlly just couldn't take it anymore financially or emotionally. Too bad I didn't know a few guys who were just knock about flyers with some ratty old planes. Maybe I would have gotten the message and succeeded. Who knows? Maybe I'll get back to it before I get too old and die or something. LOL!
