The Maja looks simple, but is not an easy build. The instructions that come with the Maja have numerous errors and Borematec uses hot glue to attach the corrigated plastic to the fuse. I reinforced the rudder to fuse mount with CF rods. I also used additional hard points to attach the motor housing to the fuse. I also added a 6mm CF rod on each side of the lower fuse due to reports of fuse sag after repeated landings.
I am using a CC Phoenix 50 ESC driving an E-flite Power 15 with an APC 12 X 6 Thin Electric prop. I have added the Borematec landing gear to my Maja because the propeller is so close to your head/arm during a hand launch.
