After this review, I had to get this thing. I am just getting into RC planes. When it arrived, I felt I knew everything I needed to know to get this in the air. I've had several flights now and I am ready for the FMS 1220mm Ranger EP V2! Thank you for a great channel!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Awesome! You're gonna be addicted soon, if you're not already! Glad you're here with us. We'll help you satiate your desire for advancement into the hobby. So many great choices!

[@seanpettit6410]

My son and I love this Plane Brian. I bought the LED light upgrade and did a you tube video on it in the snow! The Lights look AWESOME! Great video Brian as always thanks! You are lucky I can't get my wife to record my videos lol.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I just watched. Lights are nice and bright!

[@seanpettit6410]

@BrianPhillipsRC thanks Brian!

[@staysmallrc]

Thank you, Brian. I've been a big fan for a while! Bought my first plane, Bigfoot 1300 mm, after your awesome review and, of course, crashed but not horribly. Put flying on hold, started a YT channel for rc crawling, and just took to the air again in a micro Hero-Copter! 5 successful flights and landings! Thank you for inspiring me to have some damn FUN!!! Oh, and stay small!✌️

[@mikewhiskey4701]

Hey Brian. You have the best of the best videos.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thank you Mike!!!

[@johnyates4163]

Ah it has finally arrived for review, mine is ordered and has been for a while so hopefully to be here in the UK for some winter indoor flying. Another great in depth review from team Philips!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks so much! Hope she's all you wanted her to be. Indoor flight is definitely where she'll shine.

[@youngbungalo6874]

Love what you've done to your backyard Brian!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It was awesome before, but it's gonna be AMAZING when it's done. Just wish the bank didn't own so much of it ;( - Oh well, who needs to retire anyway ;) LOL LOL LOL LOL cry Maybe some day, I'll figure out how to catch my money and throw it in a dumpster, instead of a regular garbage can, when I go "full scale" - LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL cry... I love aviation, and love making this Aerodrome. I REALLY need to figure out how to get other people to help, like they do at Joe Nall, but he has about 17 times larger piece of land, which leaves more room for this type of work...and he's WAY farther out into BFE land...but not for long!!!! That new E-BMW plant is gonna be realllllly close - SCARY close...

[@frankienv3906]

Looks like a great little plane that will fly nice in calm weather. Thanks for the tips !

[@wayneyak2687]

I forgot the family and camera crew all doing great job guys keep going guys

[@GSWeb8]

Got mine delivered yesterday…. Can’t wait for very very calm flying conditions hoping I can just go fly this around my cul-de-sac.

[@smartdagger]

I agree Brian, slow planes are great

[@EveryoneIsFightingSomeBattle]

Great vid as always. Two things - First - I really wish there were more options out there in the 850mm to 900mm range. Seems like the Ranger 850mm is about the only one. Second - Camera crew might not agree - but I think Brian would look darn good with just the mustache (mustache wearer myself).

[@boss2234]

Beautiful pond. I miss my ponds and my farm.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It's becoming what I envisioned, but has been a lot more work than I thought it might be...HOWEVER, that's "new" pond stuff, and it is amazing to walk in the bedroom and see the moon shining in the water...we need to make a flight video from the WATER from the master, since I can see pretty much perfectly from there. That would be a fun video! Wish you still had access to your pond! I just went to Missouri yesterday and they had a ton of houses with ponds quite literally AT the front door! They also had a ton of them that were BIG in front yards...but the yards were small - weird looking, but it was still dang cool! When I was a teenager, my family had a pond, and it was very neat to enjoy, but we never took as full advantage of that pond, as I do here! Haven't even fished yet!!!! Thanks for being here Boss ;) Did you add a number?

[@wayneyak2687]

Thanks for all the info man your doing a great job I follow you now my man

[@manchildrc]

Hey man, I was over on Twisted Hobbys website and saw a Hacker Models Rescue Boat. You need this one with your pond. It's an EPP air boat that looks like it would be a blast whether you needed a rescue or you were just running it. I think it goes into ground effect when you're hard in the throttle but there's very few vids on it.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Have them hit us up, we'd love to work with Twisted Hobbies!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Hacker Model St. George Cape Class Patrol Boat - YESSSSSSSS!

[@DecentFarts]

Hey. I was just looking for the old version of this. It is an awesome companion to the UMX Vapor.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks! Glad you found it!

[@Glowingtomato]

I was looking at getting this but I saw Rage RC put out a "X4" version of their Vintage Stick with ailerons and a 440mm wingspan. So I got that. Still this may be nice to pick up with the lights eventually for relaxing flight.

[@thebunkreport]

I will never buy another Rage RC product after they soaked me $170 for that shitty micro Electra they put their name on (obviously badly made in China). I completely lost respect for them because they went ahead and sold that plane. Imagine the Eflite micros that you could get for $170. That purchase still hurts when I think about it.

[@Glowingtomato]

@@thebunkreport I was tempted by that one too but after seeing some KZbin videos I was turned off on it. I did a ton of my learning to fly with their super cub mx4 and that was a fun little plane. I think they tried to do too much in too small of a size with the Electra

[@thebunkreport]

@@Glowingtomato Yes the cub was a good plane, and some of their micro warbirds are pretty good. The Electra seemed poorly produced. The "retracts" (one of the rasons I bought it) never worked so I ended up hand launching it. It barely had enough power to fly.

[@timbacchus]

Love your reflection lake

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks Tim - we do too. Watching a plane in the reflection is AMAZING - kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5qXXqeHZamckNksi=5f9glVEYPQCfelPQ&t=1944 - We could see it in the pond too ;)

[@AL-RCjunkie]

Looks like it'll fly inside the basketball gym I've got access to in town. I've tried flying the UMX TimberX and the UMX Airtractor there. Didn't quite work out. Granted, I was just starting this hobby then. But, this littke bugger looks great for that situation. Brian would be so jealous of me flying all warm and toasty in a gym, while he's out In minus 10F 😂 (sorry Camera Crew) Great job, as usual!! 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You can fly the smaller ones in a Gym, but GOTTA just about make fixed flaps for them...they just "BITE" too hard...or swap out for a less aggressive pitch prop...and use the smaller battery too.

[@arminbroger7308]

Tolles Video-danke Brian 🇨🇭👍😄

[@RobisonRacing68]

It looks so much like the old Guillows balsa wood wind up gliders 🙂

[@willow_gaming]

Any plans to do a install and setup of the LED kit?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I don't have a kit, and didn't have plans to do it, but would be happy to showcase it if I had my hands on the kit. I'd like to see it look like a glowing fireball out there in the darkness...then this plane would be EXCELLENT! Since it basically only likes to fly in DEAD calm conditions, or indoors.

[@boss2234]

Nothing beats a good stick, just ask any old dog🤣

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - very nice!

[@patrickciarcia4100]

Great videos 👍🏻…😎

[@chknlyps2373]

A guilty pleasure is what I think you were reaching for

[@AL-RCjunkie]

I checked out the optional LED kit- thinking it might work on one of my 800mm FMS warbirds- and the site has them listed as PreOrder- next shipment March '25. Yikes. Half of my hangar will be doner planes by then😊 Just FYI. No biggie if this is an Xmas gift. One might be ready to light up their UMXSUS after a couple months flying this sweet little gift. Trying to be extra helpful, since Brian caught me cheating on this channel last week. Not once. But twice, in one week 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - I forgive you. Ryan and Jon are "friends of the channel", let's say ;) I'm just glad if you're gonna look, you come home before you do anything too unforgivable - LOL LOL LOL ;)

[@AL-RCjunkie]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Because "home" for me has a runway - or in this case, links to awesome planes and leaf blowers. 👍

[@stevenpowell6776]

Your videos are great. You have the most understanding wife ever! 👸

[@Mrzizzy69]

I wonder how much more performance that lil stick would have with no dihedral, it seems they gave it way too much, especially for a stick

[@thebunkreport]

The bigger one has loads also. Personally, I don't care for the way they fly. My idea of an "ugly stick" is a boxy fuselage with straight wings. I have some that I built from foam board and they fly great.

[@rafaeltorres2886]

Brian you crash test everything 😅

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Listen, it's not easy, but someone's gotta do it - LOL LOL LOL :)

[@GSWeb8]

I bought the BNF version. I have it bound to my DX6E. I used the very simple set up instructions that came with the plane. Question I have is does the BNF version allow for beginner, intermediate, and expert flight modes?

[@Killerplanes]

And if you add some tiny floats…😊

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - exactly!!! They'd have to be super light!

[@RandyHardee-m5r]

Hi Brian. I'm curious, does the spectrum smart battery line up weigh what the spectrum say they do? I don't use soectrum batteries but some of the batteries do not weigh what the product specs say the do. I'm curious about the real weight on a spectrum 6s 4000mah 50c actually weighs on some accurate scales. Could you check and see if you have scales?

[@mikemckinnis3877]

It would be great if you did FPV and went through it like you do all the planes.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I'd like to be able to do this, but if we were to do FPV, and share the footage, the FAA would require Part 107 for that...one of the many idiotic parts of the "drone registry". Sorry mike

[@mikemckinnis3877]

@@BrianPhillipsRC i understand, it was a good tbought. You do the best review/setup IMO and i watch alot of KZbin channels. Thanks for the reply Brian.

[@barrettclark8021]

Nice plane, but for $10 more you can get a Sport Cub S2, which is much more capable.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I don't disagree with your assessment, and many will want the LIGHTER, slower flying nature of the Sport Cub S2. I think some of the TARGET price points that Horizon tried to hit get obliterated in production changes...which is why we don't see LED's on this plane...when they really OUGHT to be on there - a couple Fair LED's is all this thing needs, and at 47 grams, what's another 3 grams between friends ;)

[@dirkcools]

Its not so pretty hé buth it flies 😂😂

[@Jaco3Dnews]

this fliping sucks as an airplane turbo timber is way better.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Turbo Timber IS a way better UMX, but it's a lot more, and it's for a different application. I just wish they made this SLOWER and LIGHTER (or just slower) so it could legit fly in the living room, then it would be awesome.

[@Jaco3Dnews]

@@BrianPhillipsRC it sure would

[@GSWeb8]

Got mine delivered yesterday…. Can’t wait for very very calm flying conditions hoping I can just go fly this around my cul-de-sac.
