SIG Rascal 110
Hello:
I am jcool, and new to the Flying Giants. I recently purchased a SIG Rascal 110 ARF, and need all the help I can get on engine selection, etc. I am a Floridian, and a member of the Nature Coast RC'ers of Inglis, FL. Happy to be here. |

The Dle 30 is a perfect engine for this plane.. I have one on mine for towing gliders

I have a Pterodartyl PTE36R thats going in mine, with a 20-8 prop should make a zipppy Big Bird for Candy Drop's!
Has anyone tried to add a smoke system? If so, how did it turn out? |

I put a PTR 36 in the girlfriends rascal last year and although it is tight and required a small mod to the motor it went in pretty easy and looks great as the cowel covers everything on the top and sides. Here are some pics of our install...

So how Does it Fly? And have you thought about a CANDY DROP or SMOKE or BOTH!

Did you have to do anything to the fire wall to protect it from the muffler heat?
and if you don't mind me asking,What were the engine Mods. that you did? |

As seen in pick two above I ground off the top left motor mount and then removed the screw next to it that holds on the back plate and installed a stud then threaded the stand off into that so that the cowel would clear the motor and the stand off would be away from the very edge of the firewall.
The ignition module is mounted inside a trap door that I cut out of the bottom of the fuselage and while that was out I reinforced the firewall from the inside with tri stock and fiberglass. |
