Sig Rascal 40 ARF
The Rascal at first look is a GREAT looking ARF. A couple of problems I ran into (nothing major). One of the blind nuts for the wheel pants had no threads (1st one of those I have seen). The wheel pants look good but need seam filling on the rear and bottom to have a finished look. I hate the engine mount. I know it makes the fuse more acceptable on different engines (I just don’t like it.....but it does work). The SIG spinner that can with the kit is grossly out of balance. I test ran the OS 52 mounted on the Rascal and the airframe just resonated. I removed the spinner and it clam right down. I think I will pickup an MPI or Great Planes aluminum spinner in its place. I also ran solid pushrods inside the supplied nyrod from Sig. I wonder when Sig will give up on the Nyrod stuff? I’m going to finish up everything else tomorrow and see were it balances out at.
