ORIGINAL: suitcase

Thanks for the advice everyone. I'm still thinkging..... I'm looking at the Sig Mayhem also. I know it's not an Edge and not near a "PURTY" but the edge would require me to buy another digital servo and costs about $70 more.

The Mayhem needs at least 70 in/oz on the ailerons and elevator and 90 on the rudder. If I went with a 6V battery it would up the power to 83 in/oz @ .15 sec. Would that be close enough? And would I need another charger for the 6V battery?
My dad has the mayhem. It's actually a pretty sweet looking plane. Very nice flier, and will make anyone look like a 3d artist! 83 oz/in on the rudder would probably be sufficient if you didn't jack the throws up all the way. Just put them on the low rates and you could do plenty with the plane to keep you busy. If you want the highest throws possible, and want to hook the pull pull onto the end of the servo horn and inside of the rudder horn, then you'd better go ahead and get the extra high torque servo--just for the insurance!
