AWESOME little Twin Otter!! NICE performance on a COOL MAIDEN!! Can't WAIT to see it again!! Thanks Saylors for sharing the FUN, HONEST review!! 💟👍😘

[@jeffreystone7327]

What a little beauty. Great handling plane. Santa 🎅 needs to stock up on these. Great video. God bless.

[@FarrellMcGovern]

Wow, that is a nice small twin-engined plane! I was lucky this summer to see a Royal Canadian Air Force Twin Otter in the Search and Rescue Yellow with Red highlights livery. It was funny. After it's flight, it taxied over to the parking area, then pulled up in front of it's parking spot and then did their after landing checklist. While they were doing this, the airshow gathered a bunch of ground workers to push the plane back into it's parking spot...but just as they were approaching the plane, the engines left the idle and powered up and the plane started backing up by itself...using it's variable pitch props to give it reverse thrust. That's an important feature when landing on non-improved short runways! Very cool!

[@Hoomi2]

I saw Horizon's promo for this linked on their Facebook page this morning, and was surprised by the price point on it. I really expected it to be more, with being a twin motor model. Doggone it, Horizon! That's another plane I want for my hangar!

[@BillKisel]

Hey, loved those two shots... the one with the full scale and the other with the squadron of geese. In the air it does look a bit bigger than what you'd expect seeing from a UMX. Rolls way nicer than my UMX TT.

[@timterrill6318]

That's really cool. Might be a good first plane for me to try.. thank you for all you and your family do! I really enjoy your videos.

[@chrisboone1973]

I haven't bought a plane in a while. Got off on a ground vehicle kick for the last couple months. Got the Grave Digger (Axial SMT10) and several WLToys 124016/7 cars (two for me, the rest for gifts). Saw this little beauty in the email today, immediately checked for a video from y'all. This will be my next RC. I have 5 or so 500mah lipos (1S, 30C, JST) that I got for the original Ultrix. I bet they'll work in this. After Christmas. :)

[@berrymucuckiner4890]

The geese shot was amazing!

[@AllenSchmidtSr]

That was an awesome video!! Looked like so much fun flying around. Great maiden flight and video! Well done! The plane, moon and geese shots put a huge smile on my face!! All came out perfect! And great timing on the time you filmed it. Started with some light and then the lights worked perfectly as it got darker.... just really well done. Oh, looks like a fun plane, too!.

[@andrewfairweather1340]

OMG. Thanks so much for reviewing and flagging this one up. Had been hoping UMX were going to release an Otter. Shame it's a bit late for the Christmas list. This looks like it flies great too and has plenty of power, even though it's only on 1S. This is going to be awesome on UMX floats and maybe snow! If I can get one, planning to paint up in British Antarctic Survey orange/red colour scheme. No losing that against the snow or sky. 😎My vintage UMX Mosquito could do with updating with some modern internals like this too. Any chance of an updated version Horizon? Seasons greetings from the UK. 👋🎅

Thats so freaking cool! I love umxs as they are much more convenient to fly in my area. My fave is my little osprey but this is really a eye catcher with the twin engines!

[@andrewgumbs562]

I wanna get more planes in the future but the ones you see in the sky that does drop water or red retardant. Make it fun for people and firefighters to learn and get a perspective on what’s happening from the sky.

My 1.2m Twin Otter is my favorite plane to fly off water. I just might have to pick up this Tiny Twotter to see how well it compares in float configuration.

[@jordancoleman2402]

I've read a lot on the forums of people chasing the best props for the ultrix and no one has reported trying the umx twin otter props so I gave them a try and I got way better performance

ok thats beatifull

[@motorradmike]

Extremely impressive aircraft!

[@azzir325]

I don't need any more planes, but if the right one comes along, I will pull the trigger. When I got the email from HH about the UMX Twin Otter, I wanted it. Then I saw it didn't have flaps and my interest was less. When I found out there was no rudder, less interest. No steerable nosewheel...you get the picture. And I'm not a big fan of those linear servos either. It's not like the things I would expect on a sweet little flyer like this have not been done before. I'm disappointed, but I hope HH does well with this plane.

[@truenaturestormers2525]

I was so happy to see a twin plan like the Aero Commander made in 2006 I believe, but as it is not super excited about the new UMX on the market. I am with you and do not need another one but will be looking and hope that it sells good for them. I have 2 of the old new stock Aero Commander and love the twin plan on 2 S, not sure why the 1 S, but all is good have a great day.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Hey, fair feedback! I think it’s a great plane for the money. It steers really well without a steerable nose wheel because of differential thrust, and flies well without rudder for that reason too! If it didn’t, I’d definitely mention it. While I agree most planes benefit from having rudder, I’m not sure this one would. Same with flaps. I love the efficiency of this plane and the low cost batteries. Scale looks, lights, and maneuverability are where this shines. Plus the obvious, comes in one piece, binds with the press of a button. Interesting to hear your thoughts though! Thanks for watching azzir 👍😁😎⚓️

[@azzir325]

@@TheRcSaylors I hear you. I have the Aero Commander and also the B17. I like them both but they are more traditional. Flaps are nice but not that important. I'm sure the UMX Twin Otter flies and looks great. I have an Ultrix and it is a lot of fun also. Keep doing your great videos!

[@Krash_fpv]

Just pre ordered it

[@Jaymze13]

I'm sure the depth perception from the ground via YT video was off, but the plane looked very close to the geese. It would have been cool to have had a camera on it at that moment. But as I said, my depth perception was what made it look like the plane was in among them.

[@jeffreystone7327]

Totally love everything about this plane. I’m really looking at the E-flite UMX planes. Storage is starting to be a problem. So time to look at smaller planes. I have the UMX Night Vapor for inside flying during Wisconsin winter. But other would be easy to fly at the school just a couple blocks from home. Instead of driving to our club field. Just a lot of advantages with these little guys. What would be your top 3 UMX planes? I can see this being an addition for Spring. Thanks for a great video. God bless.

[@andrewgumbs562]

How do you like it? I’m thinking about purchasing one. I like how it looks because it reminds me of firefighting with the aircraft in the sky. I don’t know if you seen the planes in the sky but it’s almost like Air Attack. Air attack assists with locating the fire and access points for ground crews, retardant deployment, and performs aerial reconnaissance of the overall incident.

[@RR-zq3mk]

Where did you sign up to get it to review before release? I’d like to do a I’m depth review of this and horizon has been silent.

[@alexherrera3918]

Great video. Do you think it can land on grass, i do not have a paved field? thanks

[@alexnutcasio936]

You can crash it on grass. Probably be fine. Asphalt, not so much.

[@HuckThis1971]

Twin Otter is already a nimble aircraft.

[@jeremielail7280]

Did you say differential thrust....wasn't sure. 😂

[@RadianXL2023]

Why they discontinue the 1.20 mts, ? And also the rudder because the diferencial matter?

[@alexnutcasio936]

does this come RTF with a transmitter??? How many channels on a transmitter does on need to have the SAFE flight active too??

[@davescott9409]

It doesn't come with a transmitter. It has a spektrum receiver, to which yo need to bind a compatible transmitter. It's on Horizon Hobby's website if you want more details.

[@PatrickVannie]

Nice video as always :-) How would you compare the flight characteristics of this UMX Twin Otter to the UMX Timber X ? Which one would you get for a beginner ? Which one is able to do the best slow flight ?

[@richiebricker]

.Why are you showing me this while I still have presents to buy for others? I could get one for Mom. This one looks good for alot of people. Isnt differential thrust more forgiving to a beginner or do they just make 2 motor planes for beginners cause you can use a cheaper radio?

[@vietdragon5610]

damn good size plane not seling on amazon that the thing

[@davescott9409]

I can't believe HH put out a multiengine plane without a rudder. Why didn't you snap roll it? Why didn't you try knife edge?

[@StevesRC]

Probably because he is flying it to enjoy it not to see if it can "do everything" any other plane can do. Likely, he is just enjoying it for what it is. No rudder means cost reductions for the end consumer. Solving the yaw control authority problem with thrust from independent motors is very clever.

[@davescott9409]

@@StevesRC I disagree with your comments regarding differential power vs rudder and also the economy of this plane. You will need a radio to fly it, which is great if you have one that will bind to the spektrum receiver. Not everyone has a spektrum transmitter. Why, because they've gotten so overpriced. Also, the battery is only a 1S. You're not going to be able to fly it in much wind. Also, it's made out of EPS, not EPO, or EPP. Why doesn't HH make their planes out of EPP? Because they want to sell you parts, when you break it. At $170, I don't think it's cheap at all. Compare it to the Arrows Pioneer, at the same price. It's made of EPP, is about the same weight, with the recommended battery, uses a 2S battery, which is slightly cheaper, and comes with a half decent transmitter. Also, I've seen people fly it in winds over 20 mph and not crash. As far as differential power vs rudder goes, I'll take rudder any day. You just have better control authority, and you can do more with the plane. Even Nate mentioned it in his video. At this price I think they should have thrown in the rudder. Without rudder, I doubt you can do a snap roll or knife edge, and it's more difficult to do a hammerhead stall. Pay your money and make your choice. Rant over. I'm out.

[@marks7445]

I would have liked to see a knife edge to show differential thrust vs. rudder especially in this UMX size aircraft. Not sure how I feel about the no rudder. If I got it, it might be for something to permanently keep floats on.

[@davescott9409]

@@marks7445 Differential power would work great on a float plane. This twin otter doesn't taxi real well, on differential power, because they fixed the nose wheel in a straight ahead position. They should have made it a castering nose wheel, then it would have taxied fine. In fact, there are several real planes that use a castering nose wheel. I used to fly a Grumman Tiger and Cirrus SR-20 & 22 that had castering nose wheels , and you'd use differential braking on the main wheels to start a turn. I also used to fly C-130s, in the USAF, and differential power and thrust reversing worked great on snowy or icy surfaces.

[@richardfahie]

One thing you forgot to mention, that unlike the UMX Ultrix, this plane has brushless motors, so you won't need to be replacing them every 2-3 months like you do on the UMX Ultrix

[@prowlus]

the ultrix has brushless motors

[@richardfahie]

@@prowlus I looked up the specs, and you're right. I have owned 5 umx ultrix and I thought they didn't because I was always replacing them because they got slower and slower till the point I had to spin the props by hand to get them going.

[@BriNaCa]

How does it fly compared to the UMX A-10? I saw you said the UMX A-10 did not fly like a big plane but in this video you say the UMX Twin Otter does.

[@chrisboone1973]

I suspect that comes down mostly to the high-mounted wings on this plane versus the low-mounted wings on the UMX A-10. But the A-10 sure does look good hanging from my low ceiling on desert camo 550 cord. :)

[@davescott9409]

The UMX A-10 has 3S power, while this has 1S and no rudder. The A-10 will handle a fair amount of wind. With 1S, I doubt this will do well in the wind.
