Default RE: SIG Mayhem for Learning Aerobatics???


ORIGINAL: Barry Cazier

I have a YS110 in my Mayhem. One of my favorite airplanes. Will land easier than any plane you'll ever fly. It will waterfall better than any plane also. The hover is harder than UCD but still pretty easy. It KE pretty poorly but slightly better than UCD. You can do it well but takes a lot of stick movement or mixes. Rolling stunts are slugish but fun. The wing span is so large that it takes a bit to respond. Fun though. I really like it.

I moved my rudder servo to the tail to make balance easier. Mine balances with no added weight right in the middle of recommended 3D CG. My plane weighs 7lbs 11ozs RTF less fuel. Which by the way gives me the best power to weight ratio of any plane I own. Amazing vertical.

The Saito should give the same performance and is 3 ozs lighter. A APC 16x6 would be the proper prop. And you may not have to move the servo to the rear wih the lighter nose weight.

As I mentioned, this is one great flying airplane. And very fun. I have more flights on this than any plane I own. For comparison, I have a Showtime, Funtana, UCD60, EF YAK, and other non 3D type planes. This one is not the best flyer but one of the best for having a great time.

Thanks
Barry

Barry,

I have a 16x6 sitting at my house, but haven't tried it yet. I will put that on there and see what I think.
