Sounds good Zippi. Since the new Rascal comes with flaps, if the flaps are capable of moving up and down, configuring them so that they will function as ailerons most of the time then when you need them to be flaps override that function and use them as flaps would be cool. It would help in the hovering to have functional ailerons the full length of the wing. My flaps are designed as Fowler flaps and will only go down so I could never do that. Also is a Pits type muffler available for the engine you are getting. Would be cool for sure.
The flaps could be a cool thing if they can go both directions but if they only operate as fowler flaps then they are pretty much useless to me. The Rascal 110 does not need flaps at all. It will land at a crawl as it is. The flaps could be an issue on a windy day for someone that doesn't know what they are doing. The Syssa 30cc doesn't need a pitts style muffler. It is a rear exhaust with two tubes running down out of the cowl. Really cool design.
