    girlfriend got me one for christmas, started working from home and couldnt get to the park to fly the apprentice. I am a habitual plane crasher. The first 3 or 4 flights were awesome around the neighborhood, able to maintain flying over the street rather than houses safely. First thing to break was the landing gear after clipping a tree. This thing is a great flyer and with enough space it really is an easy plane for new flyers. If you are coming from an apprentice like myself. The optional SAFE makes crashing it really difficult.

    About 18 months ago I started working with RC planes. Although drones are my main thing. Planes are super fun and inexpensive. It's also very addictive and a constant progression. The only problem is storage space! They are everywhere. 😂

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  Рік тому +2

      I have the exact same issue. I went crazy in early 2023 and purchased a boat load of 2 meter wingspan planes. Now I have no storage place for them, so now I focus more on smaller size planes a meter or less in size.

    Yeah, these UMX are the best 'fly anywhere" RC planes, BUT they do not handle wind well. Some do better than others but they all fly AMAZINGLY when its calm. They do ok at 3-5mph winds and become scary about 8mph winds.

    A sub 250 gram Bi-plane sounds like a winner to me. I was amazed it handles the additional weight of the Insta 360 go2. As far as the durability of the foam well UMX planes can only be so tough when built so light. Extra care on landings is noted. I purchased one yesterday and look forward to adding it to my UMX collection of awesome flyers. Great video and fair review. New Captian Drone nick name ( Ice Pilot )?

    FYI Three ways to say Waco, one is correct. The other two, not so much. Waco with the 'a' sounding like 'Wacko' is a crazy person. Waco with the 'a' sounding like 'Wake' island is a town in Texas. Waco with the 'a' sounding like "Awful" is a biplane. Great video.

    Nice review and flying as always!
    I saw that you also flew the volantex P-47.
    I'm able to fly the volantex warbird in expert mode, using my radiomaster boxxer. Since you have experience with this UMX models, wich one would you recommend as "next step" for me? The Waco, the voodoo or the Conscendo?
    I searched online and can't get an opinion on the difficulty level to fly these planes.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  8 місяців тому +2

      Out of those 3 UMX planes, I like them in this order:
      Concendo (fly in any weather)
      Waco (flies slow & looks great but easy to damage.
      Voodoo (Fast, so if you like to fly fast with tiny planes it’s great)
      Here is a 4th option that is outstanding… Micro Draco. Looks gorgeous & flies extremely well.

    That voice on the transmitter would drive me crazy it takes away from the peacefulness of flying in my opinion. Whoever thought of that voice idea was not thinking clearly.

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  21 день тому +1

      The voice is because I took the plane out of the box at the field, and just bound it. Nothing was setup. Most people mute the voice… apparently my frozen brain did not.

    Being new to the hobby, spectrum only controller you can use?

    • @CAPTAINDRONE798
      @CAPTAINDRONE798  Рік тому +2

      On my UA-cam channel I use about 20 different Radios (also called Transmitters, or if you come from the DJI world, you call them remotes). For flying airplanes I only use Spektrum radios because I have become very use to them and can setup a plane in the radio in a matter of seconds.

    • @theoztreecrasher2647
      @theoztreecrasher2647 Рік тому +1

      Nope. Any Spektrum-compatible transmitter can be used. Any Multi Protocol Radio (with the 4-in-1 module in it or on it) will fly this - and hundreds of other different brands. Why shackle yourself to only over-priced proprietary products right from the start?
      Also this IS a beautiful little plane that flies very well - but, as Steve rightly said, in the hands of a competent pilot. If you are a beginner keep the broom and the chequebook handy! The EPS foam used in UMX planes is FRAGILE!!!

    • @dondupuis4007
      @dondupuis4007 Рік тому

      I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to reply, and clarifying the plane and who should consider flying it. I have a RadioMaster boxer with 4-1 with the ELRS add-on, and have just used it on min in whoops, good to know what the 4-1 can be used for, a friend told me to get the 4 -1 and if I wanted to try ELRS to get the add on transmitter, to save money until I really knew if I enjoyed the sport. Well I have been flying DJI minis for and while and wanted to try FPV, got lucky got about $2,000 worth of goggles and controllers and about 5 FPV, so for $400.00, they guy has decided to fly wing because of owner ID REQUIRMENT, he know it's required for plane to, but decide to not comply, his call, is my be if it.. I just flew one of the beginner planes you recommended that cam with a controller, more like a toy, and I am hook at the age o 66 years old and loving every minute of it, still can t fly off FPV well, but having fun, TRYING, I ALSO have a few car/ truck remotesyou review, and a hlicoptor. Things are going well, just fpv kicking my BUTT Myngrandson has picked up on it and loves it., won't be long before I am the student😀

FPV is extremely difficult to master but the more you practice the more the brain wil get to the point that it clicks in and suddenly you’re flying with little effort.

      Nope. Horizon Hobby products all say that as it allows you to switch specific surface areas in flight. I think in my entire year of flying over 80 different RC planes I’ve only met one person who does that, and that one person only owns one plane and flies the exact same plane daily. I also, since learning to fly RC planes, only fly in high rates.. I never fly in low rates (all my RC plane maidens are in high rates full tilt).
