Default ModelTech magic 3d

Hi ModelTech Magic fans;

I have been flying the old version of the Magic 3D for some time now and have worn two of them out. I have now assembled and flown the new version (V2). The pull-pull cables vs steel push rods are a needed improvement. My main reason for writing this is to warn you of the new bolt on wing. While getting ready to epoxy the stabilizer to the fuse, I mounted the wing to ensure accurate placement of
the stabilizer. One of the wing bolts slipped completely through the wing and threaded bolt holes, the other fit so loosely that I was afraid to try and tighten it sufficiently to hold the wing in place. My fix was to glue a wooden block under each side of the wing mount,
retap the holes to 1/4-20 and use the larger nylon bolts. The plane flys every bit as good as the original, maybe better.
