SIG Rascal 110 Manual Update page 6

With the exception of the decals, the wings are now complete and
ready to use. Set them aside for now.
ASSEMBLY MANUAL Page 15 - Section titled OPTIONAL:
The Du-Bro Kwik-Fill Fueling Valve (#334 for glow; #335 for gas)
shown in this section of the manual is still a great option for the
Rascal 110. However since Du-Bro now makes a Mount (#806) for
their fueling valve, we no longer put the SIG Fuel Valve Mounting
Bracket (#SIGSH759) in this kit.
In addition to Du-Bro, there are other brands and styles of fueling
accessories that have come on the market since the Rascal
Instruction Manual was first written.
Fueling Valves: Fueling valves (like the Du-Bro Kwik-Fill) typically
have a one-way check-valve inside so that they can be installed in
the fuel line that runs from the fuel tank's clunk pickup directly to
the engine's carburetor. When you are re-fueling, the check-valve
keeps fuel from going forward into the carburetor and flooding the
engine. Fueling Valves are a deluxe option.
Fuel Dots: Another option that has grown in popularity is the "fuel
dot". A fuel dot is simply a plug (usually machined metal) that you
put in the end of a dedicated fuel line that you use to fill the tank.
The fuel dot normally includes a matching mounting collar that you
permanently install in the side of the fuselage or cowling.
1) A machined aluminum Fuel Dot is included with the fuel tank in
this kit!
a. To use the supplied Fuel Dot you will need to plumb a 3rd line
inside your fuel tank, in addition to the two lines shown on page
8-9 of the manual. Inside the tank, the new 3rd line should be bent
down to just reach (but not touch) the front bottom of the fuel tank.
This is the line that you will hook up to your fuel pump to fill and
empty the tank.
b. Figure out where you want to mount the fuel dot. Obviously,
it is a good idea to put it on the opposite side of the airplane from
your muffler. We have had good luck mounting the fuel dot in the
side of the fiberglass cowling. However, if you do that, be sure to
reinforce the cowling to keep it from cracking from the stress of
repeated plugging in and removing of the fuel dot. We cut a 2" dia.
piece of 1/8" thick scrap plywood and epoxied inside the cowling,
as shown. Then epoxy the fuel dot mounting collar in place.
NOTE: If you do not want to put the fuel dot in the cowling, you
can make a simple mount from 1/8" plywood that is glued and/or
screwed onto the front of the firewall. Then make an opening in
the cowling directly over the fuel dot, for access.
c. Install a length of fuel line tubing onto the new 3rd line exiting
the fuel tank. Poke the other end of that fuel tubing through the
fuel dot mounting collar, to the outside of the airplane. Then plug
the end of the fuel tubing with the fuel dot itself. Be sure to make
the fuel tubing long enough to reach at least 2" outside of the
airplane, so you will have enough tubing to hold onto while fueling.
d. After fueling, push the fuel tubing all the way back inside the
cowling, and the fuel dot into the mounting collar. It should fit
snugly so it won't come out in flight.
ASSEMBLY MANUAL Page 24 - Step 4)
Step 4) is not necessary. The elevators are already permanently
hinged to the Stabilizer in your Rascal 110.
ASSEMBLY MANUAL Pages 23-25
The top 2 hinges are already permanently glued into the Fin and
Rudder in your Rascal 110. You will glue the bottom hinge in when
you mount the Fin onto the Fuselage in Step 2 page 23. Steps 5,
6, and 7 on pages 24-25 can all be done after the Fin is glued onto
the Fuselage. Or you can perform some of those steps before
gluing on the Fin, if you prefer. It's your choice.
CONCLUSION: We apologize for the inconvenience of having to
deal with a separate Manual Update. The actual Assembly
Manual will be updated at the next printing. Enjoy your Rascal
110 ARF - it's one sweet flying machine!
