Just got a great deal on a Satio 100, no I just need to get a plane to put it in.

What plane would you put it in and why?

I was looking at several but am not limiting myself to them.

Sig Mayham
Pacific 540t 60
Aeroworks 540t 60/90
U Can Do 60

What else do you guys like or dislike and why???

I'm going to use one in both a GP Lancair and a VectorFlight Edge 540.

I've flown the AW 540T with a saito 100. Don't bother. It wasn't particularly precise and didn't 3-D very well.

I have the UCD 60 W/saito 100. This is an extremely versatile plane. It's just as at home doing high speed inverted passes on the deck as it is hovering or flip-flopping.
It'll even do rollers but the coupling's too much for serious precision aerobatics.

I don't have any experience with the others. Good luck with your decision.

Have a friend with the Saito 100 on a 60 size Ultra Stick. Great combo! Why a Stick there cheep and they fly good. Low pucker factor.

My Saito 100 is in a 58 inch Vector Flight Extra.

A perfect combination!

While the Vector looks interesting the one peice wing is a drawback for me.

Not a fan of the Sticks, I really want a plane that looks more like a plane. The UCD is border line for me.

Any more ideas?

If you want a split wing the 66 inch Vector Flight Edge would be OK with a Saito 100. I have a YS110 in mine which is more power, but obviously heavier.

furticon - i built A goldberg decathalon for a friend . put a satio 100 on the noise. fly's and sound's very scale .with a lot of punch. sweet combo BILL WRC-FLYER

Don't forget the GP Shoestring Racer ARF. A 100 will be good in it. I see you mention the Pacific and AW Edge's. I think an Edge is a good choice but I hear a lot of good stuff about the Pacific being better than the AW. I like the AW looks better than Pacific, but the Pacific is supposedly better with more quality hardware and has bigger airplane features etc. It looks better doing real airplane aerobatics than the U Can Do. If you dont like the Shoestring I would go with the Edge, especially if you want real airplane looking aerobatics. The You Can Do is just a kite with big control surfaces. But thats just me...


EDIT: Forgot to mention the World Model Chipmunk ARF. Its a really good plane, finished well, perfect for the 100, has retracts, and has flaps too. But you can use it without setting up the flaps, it flys fine without. If you like that plane there are a lot of posts on it here in the past. I think it's a great looking airplane. And just like the SSR and Edge it's a full scale airplane too. It does aerobatics well.

I second the Shoestring....I have one wit hthe 100 in it....it hauls butt, hee hee

I have one on a H9 Ultra Stick 60. Its a great combo
