A guy from the aero club made the Wizard sticker. The file is from JP Zardini. JP makes stickers in all colors and sizes. Just give him a call.

I got this photo from JP at ZN Line. Looks like mine is ready to ship.
I hope it makes it okay.
I asked him to install servos too. It should not take long to get ready. (If I get an X45 soon)

Congratulations on your Wizards S... I really like mine and it flies very nice... I hope you are not planning to put an X45.. 🤦🏻‍♂️... I have an M100XBL and it’s flies nice .. I have seen M70 fly it as well. I’m planning to change M100XBL to X90 real soon. IMO a 70N is a perfect turbine for this jet..

Mine is ready to paint. I was going to do a sport scheme, but now I think I'm going to do a T-45C scheme.. Love the way it looks in the photo in this thread.

It’s nice to see more of these being built. They are very good jets.

Hi,
JP recommends 45-50N turbine for this airplane. He uses a X45 and said it is the way to go. So, that's what I plan to use. I don't see why it wouldn't be good, the Wizard is similar in size & weight to a Rebel Hot.

Danny. I love mine! Equipped with a REX12A and 900mhz back-up and RCPS10. I have around 200 flights with it.

I agree. This jet was never designed to be a speed demon. I flew the jet with a 50 turbine and it was great. With a K70 I have more then 1:1 power to weight. KEEP IT LIGHT. 😉

hi,
would you mind sharing the settings you are using with the REX12A?
thx

Ofcourse. If I power up the Wizard, I will write down the settings

Screen shots of the REX12A set up would be nice and easy to do.
Thanks

Yeah.. I saw one with a P-70 in it at Best in the West in 2018 and it was a missile. I'm putting a K45G2 in mine.

That engine is sold now Doug. Waiting for the Xicoy 90 to turn up which should make it a missile on steroids.. It's a drop in replacement. I'll be bringing it back to BITW this year Covid allowing..

Looks like a little havoc.

Hey Doug.
Have you flown your Wizard yet?
Where do you fly turbines in the San Diego area?

I haven't.. I'm just getting ready to paint it now, and then it's just final installation. Some guys fly down at Chula Vista, but I'm not a fan of that place, especially for turbines. I've flown a lot at Camp Pendleton as well..

I've bought a sticker set for mine. Vinyl graphics. Way easier than painting, which is perfect because I'm lazy. I also asked JP to install the servos. I should have had him send the turbine too. I heard there will not be X45's available until July.

My Wizard made it! It came really quick. Everything was perfect.
I asked JP to install the servos and he sure did a bang-up job. All the control rods are installed and the hardware is top notch. The wiring harness were all Powerbox and made up. I will not have much work to do. But I'm waiting on a turbine for it. It came with Electron gear installed, wings & tail bags, a Grumania pipe and cone and a fuel tank. As F-1 noted, the quality of the construction is outstanding. The wings are as smooth and perfect as any F3F sailplane I've ever seen.
The wings are almost exactly the same size as a Rebel Hot. And the fuselage is about the same length too.

Hello. I promised to make pictures of my gyro settings of the REX12A. As you can see I use inflight gain control for take-off, cruise and landing.

Thanks!

I'm lagging on my Wizard assembly. There is not much to do, so I'm stretching it out. The fuselage feels so light.I weighed it an its a bit over 1.56kg.

I put the wings and stabs on for the 1st time. I still need to finish the fuselage graphics.

Tail pipe mock up. There is a metal nozzle that goes on the end of the fuselage and that is why the pipe sits out so far.

Hi James,

congratulation for this nice plane- i like the Wizard a lot and wanted to ask how long you had to wait after placing the order?

Hi,
I started the process the 1st week of December 20 and it was delivered the last week of February 21.
There was a slight delay for the gear and I kept adding scope. So, your wait may vary.
