Magic Extra 300 good or bad
Hey,
I am considering buying a magic extra 300 for my first 3D plane. It will be my second powered plane. Is this a good ARF. What engine do you recommend. I have a TT pro .46 ready but I dont think that will give it unlimited vertical. Most people are saying a Saito .72 4 stroke is a good match.
Thanks,
Trent Pierce

The plane flies nicely ... will land on its own even. With the TT46 you will have more than sufficient power for most maneuvers but alas no unlimited verticals. Don't forget the APC12.25 x 3.75 prop. The Saito 72 should be nuts for this plane. 
Only bad thing about this plane is the area behind F2 (second firewall). Look at it carefully and you will note it is pretty thin. If you come in for a pretty hard landing that part will break and your plane will snap in two. Hence, you better land her gently if not add some ply wood there to reinforce it, it will not add much weight at all.
