MasterAirscrew 11x7. I didn't turn the gear around because I
don't see the need. I first read about this in RC Modeler review
of the Rascal. They say it cured a "ground handling problem" but
don't mention what this problem was. The only thing I noticed
was a tendency to not track straight on roll out. I added some
toe-in to the main gear,(just a tad, say 1/8"), and that remedied
that. Also make sure the tires don't rub on the wheelpants any-
where. That will throw off the straight tracking down the runway.
Nothing more needed mods so right out of the box, great plane.
I'm not sure if it's my technique, (or lack of!), but it doesn't seem
to like windy days. It became a handful with a 15mph crosswind.
I flew a buddy's Rascal 110, the huge one, and it was much more
stable. Maybe just my imagination. You'll love yours.
