Mike, I brought mine out to the field last Saturday for the first time and everyone stopped to take a look. I dropped a Saito 56 into mine and it takes off in about 20' at half throttle. One thing I'm not to crazy about is how it rolls, its real slow and lazy, rolls like my Cub. I was able to do a nice knife egde but had to use the ailerons to hold it vertical. The plane flies great and lands like a kitten, makes me look like I know what i'm doing. I have the OS 52 in my Cub and its a real sweet engine, it ticks like a clock. My mentor at the field was looking for a plane to install a Aveox electric motor in and he thinks he found it with the Rascal. I'll let you know how that turns out.
