Smile Saito 180 MAYHEM!
alright, I bought a year ago a SIG Mayhem 3D from my buddy, cheap. just to put my Saito 180 in some thing. well, I love my Saito, and my Mayhem is about retired now and I'm looking at the following planes. (favorite to least favorite)


ExtremeFlight 74" Yak 54.
Hangar 9 27% Extra 260.
QQ Yak 54.

YES the QQ yak flies amazing but is also more money and I cannot stand the scheme!

what yall recommend?

Before going to all gas airplanes, my Saito 180 flew best with a Mejzlik 18x6 prop. With 30% nitro fuel. When I was using 30% nitro the APC 17x6 prop wasn't enough prop for that engine.

I run only 15% WildCat in all my engines sept for Pylon racers..

seems like the 17x6 is perfect for this % of fuel. I might try a 18x6 though just to see.

Aeroworks .90-1.20 Yak-54. By far the best plane I have ever flown and the most fun i have have had building a plane. I have mine with the 1.80 swinging an APC 18x6W prop. Tons of power!
