Was wondering whether the kit can really 3D as claimed. Engine in consideration is a OS FS72A

It's a fun fly. Not a 3D aircraft.

A reasonably well built SSE will hover with an OS 46FX,but really lacks power to pull out. It will hover with an Evolution 46NT and have ample power to pull out of a hover with authority.

We have a club member with a Saito 115 on the front. How much HP do ya need?

Its not a 3d bird, wing loading is to high, because a plane can hover does not make it 3d, I have just started to play with 3d planes and have found that hovering is not the most important thing for 3d.

It is a great fun plane though, andif you extend your wing a few inches each side it could be more 3d capible.

Funfly as like UCD?

Oops, my bad. I really wanted to ask regarding the Mayhem

But Sig told me they are getting the Mahem 40 ARF. Since this is the kit building forum, I will ask that question on the ARF forum

I'm not into 3D much, but I do know that the SSE will be more 3D capable if you add counterbalances to the elevator and rudder. The only design problem that I found is that the model is short coupled. Other than that, it is an excellent design. I've used one as a trainer for students.

I think flying 3D is mostly about the pilot. I've seen a guy fly a buddy's LT-40 with a 46FX, and hover, do rolling circles, and all of the other maneuvers. He had never flown the model before this. I don't remember all of the things that he did but it was all of the 3D stuff the guys do at our field.

Maybe so, but I sure wouldn't want to learn to 3D on an LT-40. Learn to fly on it, then move on to easier planes for aerobatics, then move back to those when yer ridiculously talented!
