I really am amazed at your bad luck with Magnums, jeffie8696. I have an XLS .46A, an XLS .52A, and a pair of XL .52 RFS four strokes. All of them broke in quickly and easily, all four have been very reliable and user friendly. The .52 two stroke literally has hundreds of flights on it and is still performing like a brand new engine.

You must be the victim of some kind of curse to have the bad luck with Magnum engines that you've had! [X(]
