Stabilizers, elevators, fuselage, Wing panel, rudder, aluminum landing gear and wheels, figerglass wheel pants, a tailwheel assembly, fuel tank, spinner, control horns, an adjustable motor mount assembly, tubes and pushrods, servo mounting blocks, miscellaneous hardware standard and metric plus comes with a very good assortment of easily applied graphics and decals, and a fully illustrated comprehensive assembly manual.
Go from box to field in about 4 to 5 hours. Because of its size and the wide variety of engines that. Such servos are more.
Both of these affordable and reliable computer radio. For reference, this assembly. All of these items are available separately as after-. See your local hobby. We like to use Du-Bro after-market servo output arms. These are. Du-Bro makes their output. Because our assembly manual. Be sure you have a charger capable of properly. Previous Page. Next Page. Properly powered, it would also make a good glider tug and is also certainly capable of towing banners.
Page 2: Engine Selection Re-heating seams may cause them to The Rascal can be powered by a wide range of engine sizes "creep", making them unsightly. This is especially true with the and types - 2-stroke, 4-stroke both single and twin cylinder types , Rascal inset trim scheme.
This was easy to do and gives a very nice Former finished look to the overall model. Because the Rascal is such 1 bag Main Wing Joiner Parts: a large model, we found that it was much easier to apply the 1 each 5mm x Page 5 10 minutes before flexing the aileron.
After sufficient time has passed, flex the hinged aileron firmly up and down on the wing panel to create free and easy movement. Page 6 string tied to it - this is the other end of the string in the aileron servo bay. Leave the string in place for now. Page 7 If you are using a computer radio, you can easily center the two servos through the radio's program for that function. While the radio is still on, determine if the servos are moving the correct direction to provide "left" and "right" aileron movements when installed in the wing panels.
Page 8: Fuel Tank Assembly good solder joints is using the soldering iron to completely heat the aileron servo into one of the leads in the Y-harness and turn on both parts before applying the solder. Apply a little flux to the end the radio system. This keeps the nose "clean" with only the must assemble your fuel tank, using gas compatible parts. Page Important Notes Photo 3 upright engine installation would be preferable. For this reason, the Rascal fuselage comes with a clean firewall, without any pre-drilled motor-mount holes.
This allows you to choose the best engine and muffler installation for your airplane. Page 11 relationship to each other and the engine, when it is eventually required mounting holes onto the firewall. Hold the pattern against mounted in place to the firewall. Landing was smooth and short with the added drag in the grass. The wheel pants did not seem to be an issue, as I did not feel like it wanted to nose over.
I taxied back to check the power system and make sure the cooling holes in the cowl had done their job. I unplugged the battery, which was hardly warm and then I checked the motor and ESC and both were barely warm. If you use a spinner like I did, be sure to cut the extra holes on the top of the cowl to get airflow around the motor and back to the ESC.
I went back out on a calm day to get a feel for take-off and landing without the wind. The plane flew basically the same, but landings required more approach area. Coming in with a slip will help slow the plane down and a grass runway will cut that distance down as well. The only thing I would love to see added is a wing option to include flaps like its bigger brother, the Rascal Electrifly Rimfire. Electric power systems have evolved at a rapid rate over the past decade.
It seems the cost to outfit larger planes becomes more affordable every year. A few years ago powering the Rascal 72 with an electric setup would have cost much more than the glow setup, but now they are more on par with each other, leaving the choice to preference rather than economics.
The ElectriFly RimFire. The motor includes 3. This means no soldering for the builder assuming your batteries have a Deans-style connector installed as well. The motor mount allows for precise adjustment of the motor inside the cowl for that perfect fit with the spinner. The RimFire. This pulls the Rascal through the air with authority, but also allows for 10 minute flights or longer when paired with a mAh 4S LiPo battery.
This means the flight time will closely match the glow setup of a. I was very pleased with the performance of the RimFire. The motor and ESC stayed cool even after a long flight on a hot summer day. I look forward to trying out more of the RimFire motors. The rudder servo fits into the left rear servo tailwheel bracket.
We made a simple wire hook from a straight pin opening and the throttle servo fits into the forward opening. Position the throttle servo with its output arm on the correct side We then used a rubber band to anchor the antenna along the for connecting to the throttle pushrod.
Page 16 thread it in place - simple! Re-insert the pushrod into its tube housing from the servo compartment. Connect the metal link to the servo output arm and attach the arm to the servo in the neutral position.
Thread the remaining metal link onto the exposed end of the stud at the rear of the fuselage. Page 17 I. EPA can be used to adjust the movement of the throttle servo as required. These are not die-cut decals and must be removed from the sheet with a hobby knife and a sharp 11 blade or sharp scissors. However, moving the C. Remember that of fun.
