"Did anyone check out the electric Magic? If so, what did you think?"

Yep. Looks great. I have had my plastic out a couple of times ready to order the necessary parts, but put it away each time. Maybe when uncle Sam sends my refund check ;-).

Seriously, I believe the number of airplanes/helicopers using electric power is going to grow. More and more flying sites are being lost because of noise, and electric will cure this. No matter how much I clean my glow powered models, they still drip oil! Electric will cure this. With LiPoly battery packs, they now have at least equal, and it appears in some cases more, power to weight than glow. The one remaining problem that I see at this time is charging! Even with the best chargers, it takes an hour or so to recharge battery packs (when allowing for cool-down time). With the new LiPoly packs, the time will probably double or triple. When this problem is solved, I will be right in there e-flying away!
