Default Showtime vs. Mayhem vs. U-Can-Do

This is kind of a two part question.
First, which of the three (Showtime, Mayhem, or U-Can-Do) has the best 3D performance?
Second, which of the three would perform best with a Saito 125?
I like the looks of the Showtime best, however, I'm not sure my Saito will fly as well as it would fly the Mayhem or the U-Can-Do.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Daniel

I've had all three of these planes. The Showtime is the best at KE. The Mayhem is the "toughest" and will do the very best flat spins. (amazing) But when all is said and done I always come bact to the UCD60. I love that plane. It is simply the most fun to fly. It does far better rolling circles than the Showtime but won't hold a candle in KE and Harrier.

Given your engine selection I like the UCD also because it is lighter than the Showtime by a pound. The Showtime also has the tendency to tip stall.

The Mayhem is a great plane. Because it has less tendency to fall apart than the other two and is a compromise, I think it is the better selection.

That being said...for most I'd suggest the Mayhem. But for me, (I don't mind fixing the rudder every 10-15 flights) I'd go with the UCD.

I'm sure this clears it up for you.

Thanks
Barry

ha ha! That was a funny post! I'd vote for the Meyham because its better at harrier than the UCD. It wants to rock a bit, but yu can control it. The UCD is really fun and does lots of stuff, but its harrier performance, IMHO, is pretty bad. I own one, and can harier it but its work. I'm going to stick my neck out and say I don't like the showtime, or the other precision/3D ships out there. I large IMAC models this works well. but these smaller ships just have the wring numbers to get it all done. Just an opinion, one I'm sure is not shared by many. I've really enjoyed flying the Meyhem. Just a fun plane that does a suprising amount of things quite well.

I like my Mayhem. (I have the 46 U C Do but not the 60, the 46 is an awesome plane) The Mayhem seems to be a solid plane. My impression is that Sig makes a more well built plane than Great Planes and it shows. One very nice thing about the Mayhem is that it covered with Ultracote and it doesn't wrinkle as much as Monokote. The problem with my Mayhem is that it's so nice and beautiful that I'm really conservative at flying it. I thrash the heck out of my 46 U C Do because I'm really hoping to get a new one so basically I fly it like I stole it. But my Mayhem is so sweet looking I fly it very carefully..... [8D]

Don't have a Mayhem.... But between the other two.... The UCD is a High fun factor
really east to fly, and does the things it can do very well!!! A great plane to have in
your hanger.... I have seen a mayhem with the S-125... It seemed like a great
combo and was a very slow stable fun flyer.... The Showtime IMO is a great plane,
and can teach you to fly better, but it will show your bad habits, But if you work with
it, it can teach you to be a better pilot... And it is a very nice plane......
