Help with my Mountain Models Magpie
Hey this is my first post on rcuniverse, although I've been reading for a while. I've bought the Magpie from Mountain Models as my trainer based on many high recommendations. Last night I ran into a problem though. I built the motor mount and installed it into the nose. The stick part of it is pointing downward a little. Is this supposed to be like that? Thanks for the help!

I didn't really notice mine was that way, but alot of people will have the motors mounted down and right by I believe 3 degrees to offset the torque from the motor and the inherent lift. Good luck.

Yeah I just talked to Doug from Mountain Models and he said the Magpie needs a lot of down thrust. Problem solved...well it really wasn't a problem to begin with.
