Default BIGGEST ARF

Hi Guys our club is looking for a ARF with 100" wing or more and can take a gas motor for glider tows and filming and candy drops. The bigger the better any idea's. Thanks. Mark,

Hangar 9 TOC Ultimate. 46% scale or so. Not sure if it is the biggest but it has to come close.

Maybe the Sig Rascall 110", too. guy in our club has one with a Zenoah G26 and it flies great. Looks like it would work fine for glider towing....

There are only a couple out there right now but the owners are working on other projects. Mine will arrive RTF so it shouldnt be long after it gets here that I get lots of pics and video.

Joebob's right with the 110" rascal. It has a 9lb payload (according to SIG). First place 1.3 bolts right on and the dang thing just wants to keep flying even after you shut it down for landing.
