Hi Kostas1

Mine is an ARF so I did not cover it myself.

The covering is UltraCote/Oracover (same thing) I did purchase the light blue to fix a flaw in the wing so I can tell you the color - will check tonight.

Tim

Ι just want to know how this light blue-whit combination is made in wings and fuselage!
As i see it is a part of white in the middle of the light blue[see wings]

Will the Bisson EVO/MVVS 26GT 1.6 Wraparound (BIS05519) fit? Or am I still looking at having to weld together my own so it will all fit under the cowl nicely? I've got the Rascal 110 and just getting ready to order the MVVS 26GT and the Bission Wraparound for it. Only going to order the Wraparound if it will fit.



Tim your Rascal looks great! After reading this post it helped me make up my mind on the engine I was getting for mine. I'm definatly getting the MVVS 26GT from www.mvvs-nl.com..

Thanks,

I know this is an old subject, but an 18x8 prop on a Zenoah 26 seems way to much. I have this bird with a G26 Zenoah with a Zinger 15x6-10 seems perfect.

I just acquired a Rascal 110 from a friend. It has a Zenoah 34, and came with an APC 17 X 10. I want to put a Zinger on it, just because I'm partial to wood props, but I'm not sure what size would be best. This is my first gas engine. No 3D, just lazy, sport flying. Suggestions?

The Zenoah 34 sounds like a pretty decent amount of power for the Rascal. I would recommend going with something in the recommended range for the engine, but go for the low pitch side of the range. A lower pitch prop will limit your top end speed a bit (which doesn't sound like a problem) and will act as a bit of a brake on your landing approaches. This is actually an important consideration with the Rascal 110. It is so light, and has such a big wing, that it doesn't take too much power to hold altitude. With a big engine and a high pitch prop, you have a serious risk of not being able to slow down enough to lose any altitude when you want to land! A lower pitch prop can really help steepen your approach to something manageable.

I should point out that the person at Sig that designed the Rascal (and the wing) was really into gliders before designing the Rascal, so he used a combination of two airfoils from his glider days for the Rascal wing. Some of those glider genes show through once in a while.

It's an awsome plane though. I highly recommend it. It slows down so much on approach that you'll have all the piper cubs at your field passing you, but it's a clean efficient design so if you put a lot of power up front you can easily hit 80-90 mph on the top end. Put a big roaring engine up front and do some huge swooping aerobatics and you have a really awsome looking and sounding airplane in the sky that slows *way* up for landing.

Thanks Curt.

Now you have me thinking about my 110. I have a Zenoah 26 with an zinger 15x6-10 prop. I use spoilrons to get her to come down. Does anyone have this setup, and what prop are you useing.

Thanks

We are running an 18x8 prop on our Zenoah 26/Rascal 110 and can do about 7000 rpm on the top end which equates to about 60-65 mph in level flight. I will do some side slipping if setup my approach a bit too high, but getting her down isn't much of a problem.

When we were running an OS1.60FX with an 18x10 prop, that's when I had to set up my approach a long way out, do a lot of side slipping and still had trouble getting her down.

The G26A is a bit heavier than the OS160, but the G26A can idle a little slower ... all of that makes it easier to get back down with the G26A.

If you want to run a bigger engine, you might consider loading a couple lbs of ballast onboard. :-)

Curt.
