The radian is one of my favs. I like it because it’s a challenge to keep up without using the motor. It’s so quiet. I can fly it everyday at my house without bothering the neighbors.
The UMX TTE has flaps so it can land on a picnic table! I also use flaps when flying indoors; gives me the slow flight I need to keep from hitting walls.
In my opinion i think the radian should be higher up i have abused that plane so so much and it still fly's amazing
I agree. He doesn’t have his set up right, you can get a radiant to roll and loop much tighter than is shown in this video. Also, I have found with the Spektrum 1s 250mah batteries it will accelerate straight up.
I have 5 of those flyers & the A-10 is one of my favorite's. I fly it on a 3S 450, mounted just behind the canopy, for the best balance & responsiveness. It'll glide down flat on low stick, & punch out at max revs like a potato gun!! Try flying it with a lighter 3S pack, it just might surprise you. Also, consider adding a couple of 2mm carbon fiber bars beneath the nose of the Otter & A-10. The Otters particularly delicate nose will thank you.
Found your post on the facebook UMX group. The Air Tractor is one of my favorites as well, but personally I place the Pitts over the A.T. The Pitts is more snappy, landing smoothly is more challenging (which I enjoy the challenge of perfecting the art), and it's loud motor is a big help keeping track of the plane when you have to take your eyes off it to check your surroundings. I've lost track of my A.T. a couple times in flight for several seconds at a time when I had to glance away due to potential hazards.
Today I maidened a NIB UMX Gee Bee, only flew one batery on it but it might be my #1 fav even over the Pitts. It's not quite as fast but it's far more nimble than the Pitts, also seems to be a bit less affected by wind gusts as well due to it's small stumpy wings.
The umx a10 and voodoo have to be my favorites. Both have great speed and maneuverability I did have to tinker with rates and expo for the a10
Flaps are for stol flying. Try it lol. Idky so many people dont really like the flaps they give you more things to do. With a small breeze you can hang the timber like a heli.
Your depth perception at the far end near those trees is quite remarkable.
Very interesting judging criteria. I do love my Air Tractor. A suggestion with the A-10 is to fly down when landing and keep tinkering with the CG. It likes more nose weight than most use.
I was not sure what my
First umx should be
And this video really
Helped me a lot
Cool video 👍🏼 I fly my UMX Airplanes more than my big ones. I really like the Timbers, so much so that i have all 4 Variations of them. I also like the VooDoo and Air Tractor. I need to pick up a Pitts and a Twin Otter, those Twin Otters are so cool looking.
You should try the Waco if you are not afraid of a delicate plane. So much fun!
@@JasonRowePhoto I actually have 2 Waco's now 🤣 they are cool little Airplanes, like you said they are delicate but so awesome to fly.
It would have been nice to have chapters 7-1, Good video My thoughts are some what different on your rating compared to mine.The UMX twin otter is a awesome water bird as well
The A-10 is my favorite! Not sure what's not to like really.
I have the Voodoo, Pitts and Air Tractor. All 3 are excellent at what they do best, my favorite depends on my mood at the time. Haven’t flown any of the Timbers yet; they’re next on my list.
A-10 is my favorite lol
Wish I could try them all but alas I keep finding Timbers in my hanger.
Curious … Did you ever have any problems with the elevator servo locking up on you on the turbo evolution? Many others have been having this issue. Thanks
No I have not had any problems with this plane at this time.
Very jealous you have a great place to fly and built in landing strip! (With cars as obstacles)
I have over 30 UMX planes, and different planes hit different flying moods ATM. of what I have…
Best 3d: UMX Beast 3d. They really need to re-release this plane
Best “go-to” plane: any one of the UMX Timbers
Best biplane: 3 way tie between Beast 3d, UMX Pitts, and UMX Waco (V2)
Best scale flyer: The rare UMX B17. Slightly underpowered, but long scale takeoffs and cool flybys are awesome. Need to fly in dead calm though. I did a steerable tailwheel mod which makes a huge difference in ground handling. Also the 2s Carbon Cub flies like a true cub…need to work that rudder!
Most fun warbird: 2s UMX P51. Really cuts any wind and is fast as hell!
Coolest powered sailplane: Was my UMX Radian, but the new UMX Conscendo is incredible fun! handles wind much better.
OK, my least favorite: The UMX P3 Revolution. A psychotic biplane with a mind of it’s own. Not fun to fly! I thought it was me, but read of many others who don’t like it.
Nice demo! I want to get a Conscendo for my next plane, but I keep buying cars and trucks 😆
Thanks I will be doing an update video to this with Waco and Conscendo coming up in the next month or so. SO this list will change!
@@bgblindt Right on
UMX NIGHT VAPOR #1 HANDS DOWN!!😂
Justy opinion, your delivery of your dialogue sounded a little should I say waning in enthusiasm? It was like every thing you talked about had the tone of been there done that before, again this might sound like a critical comment, but I am trying to be constructive, I know you have probably flown these planes a thousand times, you might even be bored, i did watch whole video. A properly placed bit of excitement might of made my watching a little bit more enjoyable !
After watching other video, it might just be your natural cadence of speaking?the sing songy up and down?
Its just the natural tone of GenZ depression
WHAT TRANSMITTER DO YOU HAVE .Setting up Dual rates and no talk about the rudder
I use a spektrum i14 rates 100/25 80/25 75 /25
Differential thrust. That's the Otter's propulsion
If you fly off water, the UMX Twin Otter beats them all. I'm too lazy to drive. Lake is an 80 foot walk.
Hi from Michigan - What does UMX stand for? or what does it mean. ✈
Ultra Micro Extreme
Thanks! 👍One more thing: What camera do you use for filming the planes when flying in the air.. Gary 🚂@@bgblindt
I use an old GoPro HERO Session for onboard camera and a DJI Action 3 that attaches to my hat. @@trainroomgary
I use The GoPro Max, on a bicycle helmet to keep it stable Thanks for the feed back. I fly with The flying Pilgrims RC Field - Michigan@@bgblindt
It’d be nice if you actually new what you were talking about when describing the planes and their features. The citation uses differential thrust. I do like the fact that you have one of each. I wish I had them all.
I liked my A-10 but the linear servo's are awful and kept locking up. The last lock up was the planes death. Now flying an arrows 50 mm edf. More reliable, stronger, faster. That EPS foam & awful linear servo's needs to go, Horizon.
Sorry - the A10 Warthog is the best IMO. Also, the Citation Longitude.
I had the umx a-10 and it was a blast to fly
I highly recommend this plane!
Why are you apologizing. Did you offend someone?
A pretty good review, but I think you just didn't go in depth enough with some of the planes as there is so much more to them. I had the A-10 II for 2 years and the UMX Timber X for one year and there is so much you can do with them than you think. I feel it's incorrect to judge the planes by how they perform right out of the box without finding their limits and abilities. You can fly any plane in a circle, so try something that will reveal unique qualities of the airplane, good or bad that people may want to be aware of. This would make a much more honest and helpful review.
Thanks for you input
Why would you want a model airplane that is almost silent, unless it's a glider??
Since this is a park flyer will not draw as much attention and disturb people!
@@bgblindt Makes sense. I never would have thought because where I live it's always been illegal to fly these anywhere except the flying club property lol
The size of the plane really has no effect on flaps (or vise versa). Flaps will effectively slow any plane down and to be honest, the smaller the plane, the more they help because landings can be more squirlly with smaller planes.
I just maidened my UMX Air Tractor today and even with 6MPH winds, it made about the same difference as it does my 59" Dynam C-188. Unless it's going directly nose in at 10MPH winds, it's going to be noticeable.
The type of airframe has a lot to do with my use of them. Do I use them on a 3D plane? Never. But something scale like the Air Tractor? Yeah. Especially if I want a "scale looking landing".
So, I don't really understand your repetitive commentary on that.
How can you not like the A-10?!
Its not that I don't like it just not one of my favorites to fly.
I just did another video on it: ua-cam.com/video/Tp4zOrfXlWI/v-deo.html
Great breakdown, great flying; just disagree with your hierarchy
You mean Touch and No..
Interesting, you called this your "top" 7....yet the first thing you said about the A-10 is "I don't like this plane".
Doesn't make sense. 🤷♂️
It the only 7 I own that was my ranking of each
@bgblindt you didn't make it sound that way by saying "top 7".
Let me ask you another question though. If you "don't like it", why do you still have it? Surprised you haven't sold it or given it away.
I like the UMX planes so even though it is not my favorite still will keep it in my collection
your missing the umx ultrix
I do not own it just did ones I have.
Sorry but if you don't understand why even a UMX STOL plane would have Flaps, they you don't understand STOL flying.
It is a UMX not needed for this platform! I know what flaps due I have several large STOL plans but with UMX not needed that is all I was talking about!
Not your fault on the p51 landing. The plane sucks. But I do agree with your ranking UMX twin engine Otter at #2
Sounds like voodoo is more plane than you can handle...
I hate that voodoo mustang. Hate the belly battery compartment and the prop adapters. I put it in last and I take your UMX A10 and rank it first.
Where should they put the battery, on top of the left wing tip? What difference does it make where the battery is; my voodoo and I fly just fine with the battery where it is...
Really? Burping while recording?
