Hi Folks,

I have always loved the looks of this airplane and thought it would make a great conversion project so here's my version. I just wanted something to cruise around with, do touch and go's, and just relax and watch it pass overhead on a calm evening. It doesn't "rocket out of a hover" or have "unlimited vertical" but at 120 Watts/pound does nice big loops and has decent vertical for hammerheads, etc.

I know I'm not the first to convert one of these and would enjoy seeing what others have done with their Rascals. Thanks to Chet Tuthill for sending me pictures of his along with some good ideas. I noticed Mike Worthen put a Hacker A60 and ten cells in his so it should be ballistic compared to mine.

I always learn a lot from you guys and enjoy seeing your projects in this forum.

Thanks for letting me share.

Bob
