in other threads I have talked about my magister. in stock form the plane is underpowered, so I decided to go glow. I installed a OS .46 AX. I did the "run in" last night, I plan on maidening the plane in a few hours. I think this plane will finally have the power it needs!!!

Be aware that you need to seal and reinforce the firewall. Sealing is a must because wood attracts the fuel and get wet rapidly, and the reinforcement is also needed because of the vibration of the glow engine.
Good luck with the maiden flight.

the maiden flight went good, it was a bit windy so I kept it short but the plane was great!!! it easily lifted at just over 1/2 throttle, and after I climbed to about 50 ft. I pulled it verticle and throttled up and watched it climb with no hesitations. the motor has more power then the plane needs. (yeah!!!) after about a 5 minute flight with mostly cruising and some full throttle blips I brought it in for a nice landing. I have a 10 oz. tank installed that was still 3/4 full after that flight. I figure I should be abil to get a good 15 min flight with some fuel in reserve for landing. man I don't know why I didn't do this sooner!!!

thanks for the tip on the sealing, the magister has a inner frame that is made out of some kind of composite or nylon, I'm more worried about the fuse since it's made of epp foam. here are some installation pictures.

Glow fuel will eat foam!!

I have heard that to. Might be time for hangar 9 p51 danny. Giggity.
