I think I have the plans laying around somewhere if that helps. My high
school part time job was building Hugh Stock's (Soarcraft president) show
planes in
the mid-70's, so I built a couple Magnum 12's.

Interesting take on this Magnum plane, one says it flies well the other says
it doesn't. Can you guys tell us why it does fly well or why it doesn't?
Thanks,

The Magnum 12 was a big, old, lumbering 12-footer. The Grand Esprit was a
prettier plane. Never built one for myself because I liked my 12 foot Soarcraft
604 better. Of the big winged planes, the Legionair would have been a better
choice (just guessing since I never flew one). A year or so
Yes, it was a good kit and went together ok. But as a
flyer, it wasn't really anything to brag or Boast about
I think that was Dan's comments too. :-)

Actually, I have a grip. Perhaps in the right hands it flew well. Mine
did.

Well, I could thermal mine out from a wingspan high, and won my first
contests with it. I did a few things, like strengthening the inner
wings and lightening the outers by tapering spar stock, etc. In spite
of it's long span, mine would turn well, and 8 oz. of lead on the CG
would take care of
I had 2 of them back in the '70s. They did indeed fly well and were a
nice build, something that's lost on most modellers these days.
Why would you ask such an assenine question?

If I remember correctly, the first and last time I saw a Magnum fly (
side by side cockpit, right ) was by Dan Pruss doing FAI Distance laps
at LOFT field. Seems everyone was kidding Dan about his ugly scale
sailplane, but he did complete the task.

It was hardly an assenine question... But it was a question for my
good old friend Bob.. spoken somewhat in jest.
My opinion of the plane in question is simple. It was a
turd.. Yes, it was a good kit and went together ok. But as a
flyer, it wasn't really anything to brag or
Whatever for?
