Flew my Rascal for the first time last week. I built it per instructions and am powering it with a YS53 FS running a 13x6 APC.

The plane flys beautifully - it will float around and can fly quite fast if you want it to.

Here is my issue - this plane exhibits the worst ground handeling of any tail dragger I've flown. I can't gradually power it up because it ground loops every time. I tried more rudder and less rudder - nothing helped.

Landing is even more scarey - it wants to scoot left across the runway even with full right rudder.

I called Sig and they hadn't heard of any problems with this plane. I read the RCM review and the guy mentioned turning the gear around (or moving it back) if you fly off pavement. My field has a large paved runway.

Anyway have this issue or have any ideas of where to start? I really like this plane, but what a pain in the ass to takeoff and land.

Thanks,

Jeff
