Should be here on the 10th.
Good morning to all and good evening to Pete, I think I ordered the red Rascal 110, the reason I say "I think" is when I ordered it, it said, In Stock, after I ordered it it says Order Pending. I may have bought the last one for now. I think I already have some 102 mm Kavan wheels and a 27 oz Roto Flow tank. For many years I had a Rascal 40 with a PAW 40 Diesel, I hope this one flies like it did.
I think have the stuff to Sparky the 180.

And maybe one of these two for the top of the wings.
If I did that I would need something contrasting on the bottom of course!

Crunchy, love the painted engines, especially the red/black.
Dave, congrats on your Rascal 110 purchase, seen lots of vids on that one. A great flyer for Darn sure.
Mike, I think you're on the right track with the Panther theme.
Jim yes, I had a 77 Pinto mustang with a 302 and 4 speed tranny, pretty good giddy-up. Top end in the 1/4 was no problem with a holley 4 barrel, big solid tappet cam, full length headers and an HEI ignition. My first "Street Rod" and lots of fun.
Saito 56's are stellar runners. Still can't understand why they are perferred over the 62. I think the cam is a better match with the 62 but too small for all the larger engines it was used in, even though rocker ratios were increased in an attempt to compensate.

Wait I just had a thought, and no it didn't die of loneliness. The airplane is a Pete N Poke how about Pink N Poke?

Mike if the neighbours spot you running the new pink outfit...
Dave i really like the covering and colour, rotoflow tanks are hard to beat
Bruce

I also have this product from them, J L Products, called the Sky Stand. I bought it at Toledo and he shipped it to me. Mine has legs about 10" longer than shown and has two trays.
Hey Pete, are you sure that's not the neighbors in those neatly done packages.
Tower was out of the blue ones and only had one red one, I would have chosen the red any way.
The Roto Flow tanks are mighty fine.

Horizon sure has improved Tower's shipping. When I first ordered the big Rascal the shipping notice said it would arrive on the 10th-12th. An E-mail from Fedex says it's arriving tomorrow. The shipping was free.

Picked this one up as a badly buggered mess a few years ago. It had a gaspoline "engine" . I put an aluminum plate over the Swiss-Cheesed firewall. I like to use it for running in Saito big blocks. I did have a Saito 180 on for a while. At present it has a Saito 150.
This was early, during the sorting out of the inverted engine and tank position. The cowl went back on soon after.

"Rotoflow" ??? Sounds like something the plumber would use to clean out a sewer system.
