hey all I have a call out to anyone who might have an extra wing splice for an older 110 my kid lost his and we have an airshow coming up next month I want to order one but don't think it would come in on time so if any one has a old ship they wrecked and still have the main wing splice I would like to buy it from them thanks for looking and reading

The giant Rascal was going to be unvailed at our 2013 Rascal 110/Big Bird event but it got put on the back burner and Sig was unable to attend our event. The boys from Sig were at our 2012 event and seem to have a great time. There was talk about a giant Rascal then. Hope Sig will make a return visit this year for our event. Not sure what the future is of the giant Rascal. Haven't heard anymore about it.

Could anybody tell me what to use for covering that will match the transparent blue ,it's called Ora cover but I can't find it . My Rascal has some bare wood sticking out on the horizontal stabilizer .

The wheels seem quite small and the material that they are made out of doesn't look like it will stand up for very long . I realize if I put bigger wheels on I will no be able to use the wheel pants .What is every body else using foe wheels ? stock or after market.. I am thinking about some Du Bro 5 or 6 inch big wheels I will be flying off a semi smooth grass strip .

bikerbc, Question #1- Hanger -9 Ultracote, #HANU954, transparent blue. Question #2- Du-Bro 3.50 T. And they do fit in the stock wheel pants. And, yes I do fly it off grass. No need for "tundra" tires unless you want that look.

Thank you Larry . I am glad I wont need to lose my wheel pants . They add a little something to this plane .. I have the tundra look on my Cub .. I Got a little hot shrinking my covering this evening and blew a small hole in the blue covering so now I really need a bit of covering .. The blue seems a little more delicate than the white . The spot I made the hole is a good spot .. It going to be under an aileron linkage . I have been putting 1/4" silver pin stripe tape on my Rascal an it looks okay so far .. I sure appreciate the help Larry ..

Your welcome biker. Hay, what engine did you go with? You were talking about a twin with the cylinders hanging out each side of the cowl. That sounded like a real nice set up. That big plane will sure use up a lot of 1/4" pin stripe tape won't it? On mine, I only did the tops of the wings and horz. stab as pin stripes on the bottom can't be seen on the ground or in the air. That saved some tape stripe and time. Of course I did all the blue edges on the fuselage and vert. stab, just skipped the bottoms of the wings and vert. stab.

For some reason I am having trouble posting ...I will try again.. I am using my ASP 160 . I will have an on board glow system like the one on my Cub , I don't have any trouble with my OS160 dropping a cylinder . Your post got me back on track . Yes the Rascal uses a lot of pin strip . I have used up one 36' roll already and all I have done is one wing the tail feathers and the wheel pants . I would have done better to just stripe the top of the wing but its too late now . One wing is already done . I have ordered another roll of pin stripe .. My Hobby shop goofed and only ordered me one instead of two.. I need to order some covering anyway .

Thanks for the update on the motor weasel . I am glad you like it . Its amazing how much power they can squeeze out of these little fellows . What prop are you running ? I am still working out how to mount my ASP 160 . I have the fuel tank lowered about 1" . That is almost perfect . I have made a ply block to mount my motor on. It will move my motor ahead 1.25" . As long as I can work out carb linkage's etc. I should be okay..

I have no experience with multi-cylinder R.C. airplane engines, so this is in the form of a question, not given as a solution to the claimed glow twin dropped cylinder problum. If the O.S. twins are truly "prone" to lose a cylinder in flight, and I don't know that to be correct, why wouldn't an on board glow igniter system such as the Sullivan system relight the flamed out cylinder by reducing the throttle down to the lower range where the system would be set to turn on the igniter. This of course would assume that both the glow plugs are good. If you have a bad glow plug in one cylinder of a glow twin, that would be no different than a bad spark plug in a twin gas engine. You need to have good "plugs" in any engine, gas, glow, twin, or single cylinder. With one cylinder still running and turning the engine over on a twin, I would think relighting the out cylinder would be possible. Or dosen't it work this way?????
Here's a Rascal 110 W/an OS160 Twin.

I've been running CDI/glow fuel since 1997.
And here is an ASP160 Twin running CDI/glow fuel.

TomCrump, thanks for the link to the full scale Rascal build. It truly is "very interesting". From time to time I will check in on his progress. Someone on that thread posed the question of whether our Rascal models will be true "scale models" when this man's full scale build is completed and I say definitively YES ! Many a full scale aircraft started with a model used in the wind tunnel going all the way back to the Wright Bros. So, YES if he finishes and flys the full scale Rascal, ours' are then "scale models". What say you?
