Took the rascal 110 to one of the local fields this afternoon & had the instructor maiden the Rascal 110. It flies like a big puddy tat. Takes off smartly @ about 1/3 throttle. It looks so graceful in the sky.The instructor loved it. The guy has agreed to take me up with my buddy box so I can log some stick time & get rid of the butterflies.

We had a minor mishap on landing. The plane ran off the edge of the runway into some 2nd growth hay. It sheared 3 of the 10-32 nylon bolts on the main gear (as designed) & scuffed up the wheel pants. I'm going to touch them up, but will leave them off for the time being.

It only needed a few clicks of right aileron trim to fly hands off.
