Have any of the guys in your area who do fly aerobatics with their 110's had any structure failures. As I said earlier, I fly my 110 conservatively, a big old roll now and then and only gently looped it once just to see it do it. Color me "chicken" as I really don't want to destroy it and can't afford to replace it.
The firewall area needs to be beefed up and the strut attachment area needs some attention as well. The struts are very functional and we check them before each flight. Some of the guys around here really put the Rascal 110 through its paces. Loads of fun. I thing the Zenoah G26 is the most popular gasser but the DLE 30 is gaining popularity. We get our 1/8" pin stripping from Advanced auto parts. We are already planning our Rascal 110/Big Bird event for 2014.
