Model Airplane News, Jun 2004

SIG MFG.

During the past few years, aerobatics has taken on a new dimension: 3D flying has become popular, and more airplanes than ever are dancing in the air. Now you, too, can fly these wild maneuvers with the 3D Mayhem ARF from Sig Mfg.

This is not just an average aerobatic flyer; it has a generous wing area, a light construction and outrageously huge control surfaces with gargantuan throws-the only limits will be your piloting skills. The 3D Mayhem is ruggedly built of balsa and plywood, and it comes covered in red, white and blue Oracover polyester film. With a price of under $300, it comes complete with a hardware package, a pull-pull rudder assembly, twin aileron-servo mounts, a short-coupled elevator mount, duraluminum landing gear, a scale tailwheel assembly, matching painted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants and fully illustrated assembly manual. Specs: span-72.159 in.; wing area-1,166.9 sq. in.; length-59 in.; weight-6.8 lb.; engine required-.61 to .91 2-stroke glow or .70 to .91 4-stroke glow; radio required-4-channel with 5 servos.

The 3D Mayhem is a fast ticket to the outer edges of aerobatic performance. Sig. Mfg. Co. (641) 623-5154; sigmfg.com.
