@jman203 Thanks very much. I have since retired this as an AP plane, but put the wing onto a modified Bombardier plane. As for the mount, I made it out of some basswood stock. I have some photos posted on Wattflyer that might help. If you PM me, I can drop you a link to them. Cheers ! James
Thanks. The Magpie is a kit that takes a little time and effort to complete. I would not call it easy, but if you take your time and plan before you glue, it will work out. Have fun!
hi great videos, i see other rc plane videos and when the plane crashes it explodes and burns, if the magpie ap crashes does it explode and catch fire?
The ones that you see exploding are usually the jets. They use a highly flammable fuel mixture (Jet Fuel) that will explode with spark. When they crash, they explode. All of my stuff these days are electric and run off high power Lithium Polymer batteries. The chance of them exploding are pretty slim, but the batteries could if struck just right. Not an issue really. People have more problems with fires when charging the batteries than with crashes. Have fun & thanks for watching! ~ James
Great job! The new mount did make it a lot more stable. The landing was also very good since the plane was going fast. If that were me landing it would either crash into the woods or be trampled and chewed up by my dog.
It was in the credits at the end, but it is canon SD200 Digital. They are no longer made, but can be found on ebay. Canon has great compression settings for movies.
oh wow dude. that the best one. what camera is that btw? and is it the edge airfoilz again? thanks. ill be gattin a mini cam for my rc plane and il make sure ill give u the vid to see. and can u be my friend?
Great video, I have a Magpie also. Can you tell me how you made the forward mount? Thanks,

Nice work Jim - I wish I could fly on my street! I gave way too many trees...
Cool song too.
I am working on a Easyglider electric right now for AP. Will up some videos soon.
