Default RE: New to kit building

You can't go wrong with the Rascal. One of our guys had the 60 sized one and it was a great flyer and it is also a great looking plane.

Transporthing that plane shouldn't be a problem. You would probably have to take the wing off, but that's no big deal, none of my planes will fit in the car without taking the wing off. I can put my Super Aeromaster bipe, a .91 powered plane completely in the trunk along with the field box. When the wing get's over about 54" it has to ride shotgun, but that's OK to. When I had my 4*60, the whole plane rode shotgun. Lay the seat back and cover it and the floor with some plastic, I grabbed a couple sheets of trunk protector from the nursery.

I've got a 33% Extra 230 kit to build. It claims that it breaks down and fits in a 1985 Datsun. I've yet to build this one, but soon, If it will fit a mid 80's compact, I'm sure that Rascal won't be a problem. The .10 woulsn't be much of an over kill, and it should give you some great performance. Remember that you don't have to fly full throttle.

Welcome to the adiction. Building is as much fun as flying.
