RE: sig rascal
I have/had one up until about 2 weeks ago..... I purchased mine last Christmas as a well deserved gift to myself. I put an OS 52 FS in mine and really enjoy the putt-putt sound of the four stroke as well. Mounting the engine was a real pain because of the tight fitting cowl. I also put an MPI On Board Glow system. I am not sure I needed it but since the OS 52 was mounted inverted it was suggested that it would be a good idea. This was my first tail dragger and speaking for myself only -- it was a bit tricky compared to my trike Kadet Senior. I had an incident -- all my fault --- that requires me to replace the firewall..... It is a beautiful plane -- I love the elliptical wing tips and cant wait to get it back in the air. It kinda looks like an 1930-ish scale aircraft but I don't think there was ever a 1:1. While my Rascal is being repaired I picked up a 4*40 to fly (put OS 52 from Rascal in it) and I found it far easier on take offs. than the Rascal. So either I learned from the Rascal or the 4*40 is a much easier plane to fly. Sorry to ramble --- I love Sig's quality and I have 3 of their ARFs and am building a 4*60 as we speak. I think Sig does a beautiful job covering their planes -- far better than I could. I personally think the Rascal is one of the neatest planes out there - I want to try one on floats one of these days. Then maybe a Rascal 110........ I now have 5 planes GP 40 Cub/Sig Kadet Sr/Sig 4*40/H9 Arrow/Sig 4*60 (Under construction) and if I could only have one it would be a Rascal.
