Just got back from the maiden flight on modeltech Magic 3d #2 asp 52 fs 13x4 apc prop
#1 took a hairy stall turn and cart wheeled in
any way after a last good look over up she went not one bit of trim needed guess the extra time getting the lateral balance right paid off
it was a great time flew it about 8 times all is well
got her AUW at 4.33 lbs going to work on getting that down under 4 then she should really go vertical is ok but not blazing thinking about a saito 56 for Christmas among other goodies
one thing wierd set this one up on my 6102 tx and it sure seemed like when I came in to land that the rudder kicked in for a sec and upset the approach I could catch it but
it just didn't act like wind buffets the other guy i was flying with didn't have any trouble
range check was good any thing I can check that I might have missed

I've been flying a Magic Extra 300, not sure you're talking about the same one or not but I like it. Flies straight as heck - tracks well through manuvers which is very good to have. I've got an older ringed OS 46SF in it right now but I may put my new Magnum XLS 46 in there to break it in and get a few tanks through it. I also thought about putting my Magnum 61 RFS (4stroke) in it as that would be lighter than the 46s I think so my CG would naturally move backward.
I need to get more throw out of the elevator and ailerons I think...
