The much anticipated RE-maiden of the Sig Rascal (aka Gpa High Wing) after my aileron / flapperon, Nav Lights, and several other mods...

This was a SUPER windy evening. I flew this flight with 3S 2200mAh 60C, but for the second flight, I used a 3S 2200mAh 25C just to see how it'd handle the lower performance lipo...No difference! ESC never gets more that "warm", as is true with the motor, and battery is room temp. I ran for 19 minutes on my first flight, but it was windy enough, I couldn't be 100% sure of myself, and lost my nerve to get to the warning chirps (I had a low voltage warning hooked up).

UPDATE 10/2/2016: I have now also used both a 3S 2200mAh 25C and a 3S 1000mAh 30C both with great results. Flight times from about 12+ minutes...but never got to LVW! Also, I've switched props from 10X7 here, to a 10X4.5 which is much better! Lot's more quiet, and with PLENTY of top end speed, it performs lots better for landings and when you just need to stave off a stall. I've also found out that this plane does stall HARD! When it warns you, you better respond NOW, or this plane will drop to the ground from 10 feet up or more...so, keep your speed well above stall speed for landings. Also, the flapperons don't seem to help as much with landings, but spoilerons have really helped! I just turn them on and stay light on power and the thing practically three wheel lands itself!
