Giant Second Plane
 

Hi All,

I am currently on the market for a large second plane. I have already purchased a Brillelli 26ss, and now I am looking for an airframe to put it on. I have been leaning towards the SIG Rascal 110". That plane looks like a beautifully lazy flier, with easy landings like a trainer.

Just wanted to put it out there and see if any of you had a better suggestion for a simular plane...

Thanks for the help!

Rascal would be great for that engine - buddy of mine has an os Surpass 1.20 on his and it flies very strong with that engine - the 26cc gasser would be great on it as well.

The Rascal is an impressive airframe, as it can do a nice slow walking pace flyby, slow enough to do a 1 wheel touch-n-go, and then it'll also fly a nice full throttle knifeedge, hammerhead stall turns, good roll rate on high rates for immelmans, cuban eights, etc. It does a lot of things very well.

dgallowa,

I have the Brillelli 26cc engine on a CMP Giles 202 (140) running an APC 17X6 prop and it flys the plane very nice. Look at the link for some nice planes for the 26cc gasser.

Zippi,

Thanks for the response. That Giles does look really nice, however I am looking to stick with a high wing, as this is still only my second plane.

bubbap51,

The Jerry's Big Boy looks like a nice plane, ill certainly consider it. However, im still leaning towards the Rascal, as it is a fair big larger, and im not so concerned about the price range.

I am hoping to stay above a 90" wingspan.

Thanks for the help guys, and if anyone else has ideas id love to hear.

I have a brellilli 26 on the way too, but mine is going in a Raidentech FW-190. I think you better check the deminsions of the rascal's cowl and the 26 gasser. The rascal is a pretty narrow cowl.

Look at a Ultrastick 120or the CG Tiger 120 for a couple great planes for that engine.
Happy Flying!!

The 26 will fit in the Rascal, but a lot will hang out the sides. I have that plane with our old 25 in it. It flies great and ballanced perfect. It is a fun plane to fly and the 26 will give it plenty of power. It lands at a walking speed. If you don't mind the muffler and carb hanging out, go for the Rascal.

This is the plane I plan on putting a Brillelli 26cc SS in, if I can get a couple of dimensions of the plane:

Kangke hasn't responded to an e-mail I sent regarding the dimensions. This is a big plane!

I was looking at the big monocoupe the other day thinking it should get the 40cc, just to have plenty of get-up and go.
