Default RE: 2 Stroke in Sig Rascal 40

I also 'had' a Rascal 40 with a TT Pro 46 in it. To make a long story short, I flew a big loop, let too much speed build up on the backside and didn't throttle back. I wanted to make a high-speed pass and thought I was pulling out gradually. Well, I wasn't.

The wings departed the fuselage simultaneously. The last part 'flying' was the landing gear which was ripped off the fuse. I left debris for 250 feet... man, what a great crash!! Wish I had video

It wasn't the fault of the plane by any means - I just pulled too many G's. I really love this plane and am going to get another. But, just be careful with your OS. Have fun with this bird. You're really going to enjoy it.
