Looks like sometime in November. I hope to have mine up and running next month with a few flights on her. I am ordering her in a few weeks. If I can get a trailer to haul it up in.

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Looking at the manual I see nothing but what little is on page 4 about the wing joiner blade and the rear locating tube. Is anybody glueing these into one wing panel or are they to be taken out when tearing down for the day? Also, wires from the rear stab to the fin, the manual doesn't call for them but are they needed?

RE: Sig Rascal 110

i thought about installing flying wires on ours, but they just did not look right. could not really find a good angle for them that would look right. we have been flying ours pretty hard and have not had any issues yet!!!
got 3 flights on mine today with the Zenoah G26 and 2 flights on a friends with a big electric with a large 5 cell pack..........i think he found the right battery and prop combination because it flew like a raped ape.

thanks
Eric

pittsman,

Wish I had my G26 so I could get mine together. flew the snot out of my Reactor today after the rain settled. Setting here glueing the blocks in for the Aileron servos.

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

I have gone to a G38 on electronic ignition on my Rascal. Flies great. Intended for Glider towing.

I cut a hatch in the bottom to access the ignition battery, etc.

The rascal can handle the motor, just check the firewall before you mount it.

I have an aluminum strip brace under the stabs (like a flying wire), none on top yet.

I have the stab, fin, and servos mounted. Still waiting on my G26 to come in from Ralph Cunningham.

Saw a 110 Rascal fly a couple of weeks ago in Bowling Green. He has a Saito 180 with a custom exhaust. You would have thought this thing was an aerobat instead of a big trainer. knife edge, loops and that good pilot stuff plus he would hover it about 20 feet off the deck and then go straigh up with unlimited vertical, and besides all of that it had that terrific 4- stroke sound

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Anyone flying one of these with the 20cc Zenoah? That's the set up I'm considering for my 110, I'd like to keep as much of the engine cowled as possible...and muffled. Anyone have ideas on this?

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Hello 3010charles,

Did you have a look at the picture (and engine) of my Rascal, as found on:

http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...=6#post8357035

The RotoMotor engine is compact, powerful, extremly reliable and well-suited as powerhouse for a Rascal 110. An tuned-pipe is used from Krummscheid, it's mounted inside the fuselage.

Regards.

Myself and some of the other club members from here in Bowling Green made it up to Evansville, Indiana this past weekend to attend their annual Giant Scale Fly-in. This is one Awesome flying site, and the club made sure everyone had a great time. Thanks to all the ERCMAC members for making us SKYMAC members feel at home. GREAT SHOW GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a shot someone sent us via e-mail of my Rascal 110 in action.
thanks again for a great fly-in

hey, golden thumbs, can i get a pic of the stripes hittin that tree?

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Eric,

Thanks for all the nice comments about our club. That's what this hobby is all about, having a good time, meeting people, and making new friends. My Rascal is basically finished to the point where I'm just waiting for the G26 from Ralph C. We need to have a "Rascal" fly-in :).

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Zippi,
got any other photos of the Rascal in flight??

thanks
Eric

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Erick, what engine are you using on your Rascal. Man it flys great. I should have my G26ei back from Ralph in the next day or so.

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Ron
the engine i am using on my Rascal 110 is a stock Zenoah G26EI.
the prop is nothing special, just a 18 x 6 wood zinger.
thanks
Eric

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Cool. I am runnig a APC 18-6W so I am looking forward to similar performance. I am excited.

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

king_arthur1953,

You sent your engine to Ralph, got it repaired and back after I ordered a G26 and I haven't heard a thing from Ralph. Man this really sucks [:@].

Eric,

No in flight photo's, just the video I shot at the Henderson fly-in.

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Eric

I tried to send you an e-mail. Let me know if you received it.

Really like the way you flew the Rascal 110. Reminds me of old days in B.G.

Would a G-38 be to much engine for the airframe?

Ed Kirtley

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Zippie I think he did about 3 minutes work on mine. He just knew what to do and I didn't or I would have done it myself. I hope you get yours sooner than later. Our fly in is on the 26th. I am glad I will have my rascal ready.

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Hey Ed,
i received your e-mail. as far as powering with a G38, i have not seen one fly with one. i have not checked the weight on the engine. Bill from up around E-town, KY posted in one of these threads that he powered his with that engine. i tried to find a good reliable power source that would not take to much cutting of the cowl. its about time for you to come and visit. we are having a all warbird event here on Oct. 18th in BG. would be great to see you and the P47 in town that weekend, if you are able. check the website www.skymacrc.com for more info. i should have my Texan back together after some unsheduled fuel tank repair along with just a good going through. Kerry will be there with his Ziroli P38 and Ziroli Corsair that he built off a set of plans. both planes fly extremely well.
hope to see you soon
Eric Alford

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

I heard from Ralph C. and he said my G26 is in the mail. Hopefully I can get my Rascal in the air in a couple of weeks. As long as the cold weather doesn't move in. I don't fly when I'm cold. Just not enjoyable.

Eric,

Some of us here in Evansville plan on coming to your Warbird event next weekend. I personally won't be bringing a plane, just out for the enjoyment :).

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

Geez..... now maybe the crying will stop. Seriously Zippi, glad to hear it.

RE: Sig Rascal 110
 

:):):) I think the wife is tired of hearing about it :). Can't wait to get it all together and in the air.
