Hi Prop, Two years ago I rescued a part-built Magnatilla from the loft. It had been there since... 1991! It just needed the aileron connection to sort out, the wings to cover, & a little hangar rash to fix. It's a mk1, which has a different front end construction from the current Maggie &  possibly slightly heavier overall construction. It's powered by a Tornado Thumper 4260 600Kv motor with a Scorpion 55A ESC and a 4S 3700 Lipo.On a 15x7 prop the current draw is 35A which gives around 525W & 85-90W per lb with the AUW a shade under 6lb. It needed a fair bit of noseweight to get the CG right so I fitted a chunky 2200 Sub C NiMh behind the bulkhead. It flies very well with no shortage of power. Low passes & touch and goes are great fun. I'm going to experiment with a little down thrust as it does tend to climb a little on full power.   The Magnatilla is at the front, the one at the back is an electric Attila - which flies well too.   Cheers, Richard
