IMO the quality of the new Rascal 110 is still there as in the original. I wish they would not have pre-hinged the control surfaces. I know that when you see an ARF and it says control surfaces are "Pre-Hinged" it looks great and less work for the modeler. But, as we all know glue in China must be at the same price as gold here in the US because they use so little of it. I just wish they would leave the planes un-hinged and cut the price a few bucks. The addition of the flaps looks good but if you think about it, for the average modeler it's just going to cost them the price of two additional servos, extenions, ball links, and control rods. This just pushes the cost of getting your new Rascal in the air even higher. IMO the flaps were not needed. If the new owners of SIG wanted to change something they should have come out with a few new colors, the addition of a floor board with a pilot, or even better quality wheels and control horns. I know that a bigger size was out of the questions as it would require re-tooling. I'm pleased with my new Rascal 110 and can't wait to get it in the air this coming Spring.
