Just finished putting together my magic today and i still have 2 parts left over. Could someone tell me where they go? Here is pic of parts.

I have the same 2 extra parts. I learned from a friend that they go on either side of the vertical stab where it meets the fuse. I assume that you have to sand the angle some to make them fit. I think Im going to install mine because they really seem to stiffen up an otherwise brittle rudder.

I can't recall having those 2 blue parts in my kit. The only thing close to that would be the two yellow pieces of wood that goes on the top and bottom of the trailing edge in the middle to protect the wing from the rubber bands. You may indeed have a couple bonus parts, I would charge them for the extra shipping weight

Check them....the length is perfect for the vertical stab attachment. There is no mention of them in the manual but Im guessing they were a add on after people started complaining of how easy the vertical stab broke at the base. My friend, who bought one the same time I did, broke his stab before he even finished building the plane.

I laid one close to where its supposed to be......

They are the wings, silly!

Incidentally, I couldn't get my magic to fly more than 3 feet.

What am I doing wrong?

That is exactly what they are for...I found out from another guy with a magic after I asked him the same question why I had these two extra pieces left over.

What's the clear plastic tube for? And what weight are you guys winding up with. Mines 3 and 15oz.

I dont know about the plastic tube but my weighs 3lbs 12oz.

There was a clear plastic tube about 2 inches long by3/16 diameter in the bag with the braces. I went around the tail with kevlar thread.

Cabane, good idea. How did you attach the thread to each tip of the stabs?

I haven't built a Magic -so I don't know the intended use of the clear tubes BUT
I've seen ny-rod put in a stab & fin for kevlar thread to run through to make flyin-wires.
You just drill a hole the size of the tube - ca it in place and cut it off flush. Then when you run the thread thru, it won't cut into the wood.

Just a thought

But in order for the flying wires to be effective dont they have to attached to the stabs as opposed to simply passing through them?

The two pieces of covered wood are to brace the vertical fin to the fuselage. Trace around them on fuse and vertical fin, remove covering and epoxy in place. Cut the clear tubing in 1/8 inch pieces and use to secure clevises.
Mine weighs in at 3 lbs 13 oz. Magnum 52FS and HS-425's x 5.

Hey Coyote, hows the vertical performance with that Magnum .53FS? Ive got one pulling an old Airmadillo 40 on Aircore floats. A real rocket I tell ya...LOL. I just cant wait to try it out this summer off the water. Does pretty good off the snow.....just dont get her too slow.

Duh. Using the tube for clevis retainer didn't even register. I automatically use fuel line.
I just threaded the thread thru and injected thin ca in the surrounding wood with a hypodermic.

Good idea, I can see where the Magic needs the additional support on the tail.
