    Status: offline     		This is one of the easiest flying planes I own and still one of my favorites! My club buddies think I'm nuts when I use it to train newbee's but it's very stable and if you get yourself in a jam, it's very responsive. It's very difficult to have a "bad" landing. I refer to it as my 'Big, lethargic butterfly" but it will perform if you want it to. I have a Magnum .91 4 stroke. I wish I had a little more engine but this thing flys nicely where it's at. I even strapped a JVC DV recorder to its underside. Again, the club members thought I was nuts (there seems to be a consensus here!) but it did very well. I still have to figure out how to mount the camera in a way that there isn't quite so much vibration. There was a lot of drop-out in the video but I did get some footage.

    Status: offline     		The Sig Mayhem is a great plane to fly 3D!
    The controls are huge and with a powerfull engine it is a joy to fly. It does slow down nicely and when asked does 3d moves very well. It is a big plane, but easy to see and even easyer to fly.
    My first Mayhem on its second check out flight, the tail broke off right after the canopy. Sig was great in having a replacement kit in record time as they said things happen. This replacement model has been through the wringer with a few slight modifications to the area around the canopy for strength.
    I have a Saito 120 with Hitec digital high torqs all around.
    Great plane!!

    Status: offline     		Hi shwan you could proble call Sig and they would send you one.What motor are you putting on your mayhem?I have A 150 Saito on mine and I am thinking of taking it off and put the Evolution G26 gaser on it.I got the motor last week but haven't started changing it yet.the 150 Saito weight 30 oz and the G26 weight is 31 oz without the muffler.I have been flying mine at the CG they call for in the book.I know I can move the CG back about 1/2 in and the plane will do 3D A lot better if I only knew how too LOL.Is anyone else flying there Mayhem with this motor?

    Status: offline     		I haven't got the engine yet. I am thinking about a 4 stroke 1.20.

    thanks for the advice on the template. I thought of that to but I hate calling those places.

    thanks again.

    Status: offline     		Sig is great to deal with,
    If your gonna use the Saito 120 most people put the rudder servo in the back to offset the heavy engine. I have this same setup with the servo in the tail and it balances good.
    I had to get the 90Degree adapter for the engine exhaust to clear the firewall at the location in the instructions.
    I would get the higher torque servos for this plane. I flew it with futaba 3004s and it was so so. But with some ultra torque Hitecs it really came alive and when you banged the sticks the manuvers became violent and with plenty of authority.
    I am using a APC 17x4W for excellent hovering, but becarefull as it seems to overspeed easily in a dive.

    Status: offline     		Just saying hi to all, been way too busy with work. This threads is amazing, still going I see. I got my replacement tank from Sig but have not had time to re-install my servos and motor. Grandad if you're around how did the swap to the 1.00 work out?
    SKYTREKIN what prop do you use with the 1.20? I just got one...yeah by accident :-) and am thinking about putting it in when I re assemble my baby...(just thinking about it I say). I may just get a big warbird or scale plane and put it there and put back the 1.00, it was pretty awesome as it was.

    Status: offline     		On my Mayhem with the Saito 120 Ive flown it with a wood 16x6 flys pretty good lots of power, and ive also gotten the fiberglas APC 17x4W prop. The APC prop is pretty wide and easily hovers the Mayhem.
    Right now its winter time with snow on the ground, so Im about to start pulling off the wheels and putting the skis on! Yeah!

    Status: offline     		I just bought My first Mayhem. I have lusted over this bird for a long time. A friend in our local club was selling it here on RCU and thats how I got mine. I too am wondering about an Evolution G26 gaser? Has anybody tried a gaser or are they going to be too heavy, on this light air frame?

    Here is a couple of pictures of My baby. One when I was just lusting and one after i bought.
