Default New trainer for my kids

I was at one of the LHS and convinced the wife I needed a bigger trainer for teaching the kids to fly.Do ya think it's big enough

Sig Rascal 110
OS 1.60 FX w/ pitts muffler
Hitec HS645MG servos
$700 Plug and Play

Yes, this is one of those post where I'm just showing off a new toy.

Yea not only is it big enough but it will be a lot more fun for you than flying an old 40 size bugsmashing trainer.

Thats a neat new toy. I like the looks of them even though they seem plain. Thats a monster.... should be fun. Especially on those windy days.

Would you mind hosting a workshop/seminar on talking spouses into buying items such as this? I would even subscribe to your newsletter. Nice!!!!

I would have posted this here but it's not such a begginner plane. Last week I got an AeroWorks 50cc Extra 260 with a DA50 and really nice high torque servos all for $1600. How do you do it you ask? You have to spend just as much on her[:@]

Have fun hand launching that one!

I've flown the Rascal 40 and liked it a lot. SIG makes great products!

The 40 size I flew was powered by a TT .46 pro and was swinging a MAS 11x6 prop. When the owner saw me hover it his jaw dropped and he said, "I didn't know it could do that." These planes a very minipulatable. Mine, I bought used obviously, has the OS 1.60 and a Zinger 18x10 prop. I have a 1.60 in my Extreem Flight Yak 54 and it swings a 20x8. Hmm I might have to switch props just long enough to get some video of this 110 inch wing hovering
