I have a Magic Extra with an OS 50 SX which is a relatively new engine with the same footprint as an OS 46. It has very good vertical and will hover with the right pilot (not me). The TT will fly it fine but I don't know about hovering. But the main reason I responded to this thread is to let you know that the Magic Extra is a very poor kit in my opinion and only average or below in flight characteristics. Most of my airplanes are larger but I like to keep a 40 size plane for quick trips to the field. I have flown this one since Christmas and will be abandoning it as soon as my 40 size U-Can-Do-3D arrives.

I received one of the earlier kits and maybe that was the problem; i.e. maybe they have worked out some of the many problems I had with the kit. The major problems were: 1) instructions didn't match the pieces, 2) firewall drilled incorrectly for the engine mount, 3) wing cradle cutout didn't match contour of wing....required major rework, 4) poor elevator pushrod design, 5) all pushrod exit holes were in the wrong place, 6) severely warped ailerons, 7) covering is an unknown product and although it looks fairly good, it is coming off as the plane ages, 8) very tail heavy even with 50 size engine and battery as far forward as possible.

Bottom line is that there are plenty of 40 sized airplanes without these problems.
