Re: Magic hand RC...new kids on the block???
Oracover is also known as Ultracote and Profilm, I believe it is used on many of the ARFs we have, EF, TOC Extreme/SD Models etc. I have several planes covered in it and it is very good.

Re: Magic hand RC...new kids on the block???
I didn't know ultrakote and oracover we're the same. I had heard oracover was not a good cover at all , but i prefer UltraKote over monokote any day of the week. In fact , i can't stand using monokote. Ultrakote is awesome and very easy to work with.

Re: Magic hand RC...new kids on the block???
Same stuff..... You're right. Ultracote is good stuff compared to Monokote for general covering but for tensile strength, Monokote has the edge. I like Ultracote's ability to cover easily around curves and it's shrinking quality over a wider range of temperatures. If you've never covered a fiberglass wheel pant or a cowl with monokote (in one piece!) you haven't lived! It can be done and it's color is deeper after all the pulling, tugging and heating than Ultracote. They both have their virtues but Ultracote has the edge on being easiest to use. WT

I just got TBM's newsletter and it looks like they will be getting some Katanas and Caps also in this summer from Magic Hand.

Re: Magic hand RC...new kids on the block???
What servos will you be using? Looks like the hs-5625mg would do the job and a decent price.
I have to buy everything for this plane and would like to get started. |

Re: Magic hand RC...new kids on the block???
5625s should work nicely. I would get something alittel stouter for the rudder though...
I am now in a quandry.. My wife is getting me the Magic hand for my birthday and I just bought a Extreme flight 74" Yak on ebay NIB for 218.00 + shipping..... which to build first..

Re: Magic hand RC...new kids on the block???
It was the Yellow and black one and was $100.00 to ship to me but even with that 318.00 is a good deal. Don't know what EF charges. I factored that into the bid. I didn't see the red one what did it go for?? There are alot of knock off 50cc yaks with no hardware on there also...
