It won't stock, but the Magnum begs to have the canopy ripped off and a new one molded with a pipe tunnel and engine cowl. I have a second Magnum for just that purpose but I still haven't started that project.

I was thinking the same thing. I have a k&B 7.5 fan engine front carb/rear exhaust that would work nicely. It has the perry pump and carb.
Some times I wish my magnum had retracts. It would be a nice challenging plane to do touch and goes with.

Maybe I will build a 3/4 scale magnum out of depron, make it electric, build in a set of retracts into it and paint it yellow.
