I had 2 of the .52 xls POS's. The first one came as a combo with a Magic 300 ARF. Bought the other to get my old trainer back in the air since I had dropped out of the flying part of hobbies for about 11 years. Since I worked at Hobby People, I got great a great deal on the seperate motor. I worked with that one for quite a while. After 6 deadsticks and chasing air leak after air leak, I took the thing back, along with the other one I hadn't run and traded them in for OS 46 AX's. Even though I spent more for the OS's, I took my precious free time into consideration and decided that I can't afford to fiddle with cheap, crappy engines when I could be flying.
My advice concerning ANY Magnum engine....keep saving for a better motor
