Thanks Gary....I was told it was 66"  ...  60 makes it easier to handle in the car....

Reach out to Tom Dixon for the modifications....you will have a better flying airplane.

Mike,
Basic mod to the Magnum is to increase the stab/elevator total area to around 24% of the wing area, move the tail back to 17 1/2". Stiffen the back of the fuse with some additional cross bracing.

Best,   DennisT
