New Sig Rascal 110"
How would the sig rascals compare aerobatically to a Taylor craft? I looking for a plane for my RCS 140. I like like the idea that the Talor craft can do some aerobatics but still fly slow for landings on a short field surrounded by corn.

But the whimsical novelty of a giant Rascal sure has its appeal.
Maybe it's just me, but it reminds me of those "Attack of the Giant (Insert your least favorite Insect)" Hollywood B-movies.

Yea I know what you mean. I saw the prototype fly this past summer and boy did I want one. I decided not to, if I'm gonna spend the money I'm going to go with something more aerobatic

If I remember correctly from the ad in the latest issue of MAN, this thing has incredibly light wing loading, something like 14-16 Oz./sq.ft. For this size aircraft, that's light.
