The Rascal handles very easily, and it's easily capable of performing the usual aerobatic flying maneuvers including rolls, loops, inverted flight, stall turns, spins and knife edge flights. At lower flight speeds, altitude and climb/decent rates can be greatly controlled with throttle without making attitude changes.
This plane is also great on the water. Sig provides rear float mounts in the fuselage area behind the wing saddle for installing floats. So you can take the Sig Rascal 40 on the water for some relaxing water flights.
