Default Modeltech Magic Extra 300L

I had one and flew the heck out of it. I had over 200 flights on it.
Only one problem with it, the cheap covering coming off. People say that it is very fragile and you need to land soft because they come apart easily and you will need to replace the gear after 2 to 4 landings no matter how soft you land. To me that is bunk. I had over 200 flights on mine. Apparently what a soft landing is to some is a hard landing to others. I saw a guy crash his several times. He said the plane is weak behind the canopy area.
He told me he lands very soft with the plane. I watched him land on several occasions and to me they where carrier style landings and he thought they were soft landings. His last crash with the plane he said the plane has a weak spot because everytime I crash, the plane breaks in the same spot. I crashed mine while hovering. I was bringing it down to the ground and at about 10 feet the engine quit. Oh well. I now have another that I am building. I will post some pictures of it. I took all the covering off of it and recovered it and did some airbrushing on it
