Flair Magnatilla, RC Restore Pt.3 Maiden! 

First one I had flew with an enya 35 pb, (it was a mark1 back in 1983) they were designed around an old OS 30 2 stroke. Second one had a 40 fs pre surpass and, as I said, it was ideal. That was transplanted into a vintage model and forever after I used TT 42GP with one of flairs custom dustbin silencers and 12x5 props. Overpowered sure but the throttle works both ways. But that one wasn't nearly as fast as yours.

Beautiful bird my friend and one amazing video. Perfect. Thanks for posting and big salute from Slovenia, Pilot Robert

Beautiful plane, nice flying - including landing. Very pleasant video experience, also thanks to an excellent camera. Thank you very much!

I have yet to buy a used airplane that did not need major work. If you want it done right, do it yourself

Beautiful job! Sounds and looks amazing! Gotta love breathing new life into these models.

Nice to see that finished up and flying

Definitely not under powered

Lovely, thank you.

My brother also has this model with a 52 four-stroke Magnum engine. Unfortunately it is a lot of work to design it in the old original flair and to get it very rarely and only expensive as a kit in Germany. But the work is rewarded with a very good appearance and equally good flight characteristics. It's one of my all-time favorite models to fly. Years ago I bought the kit from HK and also an NGH GT9 Pro, also from HK. Of course, the sound can't keep up with that. But everything is cheaper than the "original".

I love the old Maggy... like all Flair kits...great fliers..mine is also due a refurb...it's got an SC 46 two stroke but am going to stick a 4 stroke in it..👍👍👍

Wowww this looks very nice plane!!!!!i like it alooooooottttttt!!!cheers

Fantastic job Stuart. Can't wait for the Spacewalker episode 3!

Nice plane

Nice!

Happy New Year 2021 Stuart! *after around 30 to 40ft of focus it is all Infinity, maybe for next time set to M mode to Infinity. This way the AF is not hunting back and forth w the lens. Flies superb, maybe but just maybe, a few rpms older on idle. That is one cool birthday present.

Nice job buddy! I need to get a WWI plane in my hangar someday!

What the hell, if it's fuel proof it's water proof. Fly it :)

Stuart, happy New Year to you and your family. The plane looks fantastic after the big makeover and flies very nicely. The engine is made for the plane! Hope you will post a lot of beautiful videos this year.

Just the job that 👌 I love four stroke nitro. Just bought myself the Hking P51B mustang and a brand new Saito 82b 👍. Thanks Stuart and Tom, happy new year.

Hi Stuart, Happy New Year mate. Nice job on the plane. Since you are back with HK maybe its a good idea to get the balsa kits from (rip)Top Flite in the HK package? I like to build planes and i sense you like tinkering :) Wouldnt be to hard for you to find the manufacturer of these kits i reckon , they are really nice scale kits and affordable too. Its a shame they arent for sale anywhere anymore. I know that the kids nowadays are more of the instant everything type of people, but there is always a percentage who still loves to build things. Anyways, great Video, nice Dutch weather :) and say hello to Tom please. Cheers mate.

Great job, turning disappointment into success! Well done Stuart

Hello, great series of videos that has inspired me to make a scratch build. Plan ordered from Derick at model plans. I like the colour of the Magnatilla on the video's. You said you obtained some oratex in that colour. Is it the antique colour. Glyn Jones.

Nice plane and flown nice and scale. I love four strokes. I have them in most of my planes. Nice video. Thank you.

Nice to see it back in the air Stuart! great job :)

Beautiful model and tastefully restored, she looks and sounds great…love the smoke

Looks Great Mate. Looks even better in the air.

That is way overpowered, the old 40 fs presurpass is a match made in heaven

Stuart can you please help me. I want a laser 4 stroke engine for seagull DH60 Gipsy moth ARF do I get 80 or 100 want fly scale but want power if needed some people say 80 and other people say 100 which one be best for me. If it's you what would you go with

Great job on that one man! Looks, runs, and flies great! Glad to see you will still be posting (hopefully) on your personal channel given your new job....er...old job. Are you back at your old title? Durafly and Avios brand mgr?

Really nice ...................

Perfect engine note for the model. Wonderful work Stuart.

I was up there flying with you ! Great video

Beautiful work!

Hi,where did you bye that cowl?

Very nice plane and a good flyer too. I love this type of planes, especially if they are with glow engines.

Hopefully we'll see more of your channel this year 😊 But underpowered ? It's not a 3D plane and take off only took a few meters. Looks really good !!

Good to see you back, I was beginning to wonder what had happened to your restoration. Happy New year and stay safe.

Wow! Really nice restoration Stuart. Looks great in the air too! Cheers and happy new year!

Thanks Stuart and Tom. Nice to see the old girl up in the air again, congrats. And it was a great birthday present to yourself :-)

Good job 👏

Well done Stuart. Its a beautiful plane, and the sound. Thanks for sharing.
