Default Rascal 110 with G-38 and mods

I've been asked for pics of my Rascal with the G-38, as well as my bomb drop setup.

I am not the first to use a G-38 on the rascal. I know others are using it and have been for some time. They get the credit for trying it. This particular motor is a G-38 with Ralph Cunningham ignition, swinging an 18 6-10 prop.

I am also not the first to rig up an internal bomb drop in a rascal. in fact, I got the mechanism idea straight from Bruce Tharpe's website and his bomb bay design.

So, here they are, for everyone. I encourage everyone to post pics of their motor setups, i.e. G-23, 26, pipes, etc. and any other mods they are using on the rascal.

As an aside, I'd love to get my hands on a Graupner Taxi 2400 by hobby lobby. Anyone flying one of those?
