Only thing missing are flaps. Otherwise, it looks just like its big brother.

you are not wrong about the flaps, but I haven't decided if I think they are really missing or not. The reason is that I have them on my UMX Air Tractor and I don't use them that often. Only in low-light conditions when I am trying to fly very slow and very close do I use the flaps. I do use flaps on my UMX Timbers as I land on the water and have some obstacles to deal with and the flaps help get me nice and slow on landing. For the Cirrus, I am thinking that most of the flying will be done in lighted conditions or dusk and I don't know if I would really use the flaps or not. I think it is going to be ok without them. Cooler with? Yeah, of course. But worth the extra price and weight? Not sure yet. One thing is for sure, this is a good size UMX plane! Bigger than I was expecting. If it flies half as nice as the 1.5m, I think I will have a new favorite UMX!
