The Magic's ground handling with the stock tail wire is non-existant. You cannot steer it at all. A tail wheel can be added with some experimentation. I have not done this yet.

I added wing bolts to mine and it has worked just fine - wooden dowel in the leading edge and 2 nylon bolts through the trailing edge into 1/4 " ply.

I love my Magic and have just purchased the Magic Extra. Check out the Magic Extra.

The Irvine .46 will hover both planes easily.
