Default Rascal 110 - what motor ?

Hi

I am about to assemble my Rascal 110 inch but cant decide
if I should use a OS 120fs, Saito 150 or MVVS 1.60 gas. (I would like to try gas but the Rascal has a very narrow fuz for its size)
Any suggestions ?

thanks
Tim

i use a zenoah g26 now go gas if you can 6 to 10 flights a gallon sucks just about any gas engine will need the side of the cowl opened up but it don't hurt the looks to bad and makes fueling and de fueling easy

A friend at my field has one with a Saito 180 that is a blast. Darn thing takes off in a flash and will go straight up!

Mine has a Saito 120. Takes off at 1/3 throttle.

I believe Sig sells mounts for the FPE 1.3 which is a recommended engine for this plane. Go gas if you can. There isn't much difference in the price of a big 4stroker and the g26 or the FPE. plus no clean up afterwards and cheaper to buy gas for. I have a FPE 3.2 and the FPE line up seems to be well built engines

Also the FPE come with a pitts muffler from the factory, so that would be one less thing to buy.

I have a rascal 110 with hitec 605's all the way around and a zenoah G-38 on it. I have flown it several times and honestly I think the engine is a perfect match. Not extremely over powered but balls Zee enough to get you in the air and also out of trouble fast.
