Default RE: MiniMag... on glow!

I took her out for a flight today as it was a bit calmer wind wise. As before, flight is great, mostly done on 1/4 throttle, rudder setting is almost neutral with a tad of trim to the left, and - as I don't use the landing gear, prefering to land on its bandage tape reinforced belly due to the rough terrain - elevator was trimmed a few clicks downwards for level flight.
Although I still haven't bought the exhaust deflector tubing, I feel there is probably no need to, as the wing only gets some small residue and the horizontal stab, nothing a piece of rag won't clean for storage.

On deadstick landing, I don't know why, it ended up again on a drainage channel, but only the right side of the elevator got cracked, and immediately repaired with a few drops of cyano while assembling the Easystar for flight.

I can advise fellow flyers who may be interested on a .10/.15 glow sized airplane to make this easy conversion as you will be very satisfied with the flight characteristics (trainer/ aerobatic trainer), ease of transportation and its durability.
