Good day everyone. For people using EdgeTX radio like TX16S or Zorro. Here the set up: Protocol : Mode=Multi / Type=DSM / Subtype=X 2F Inputs: channel 1-4=AETR / Channel 5= Safe-AS3X / Channel 6=Flaperon - Follow flaperon Advance setup in the manual to activate it on ur TX, it works well. Hope it helps some of you. Have fun and more flight powerrrr.

[@GBLynden]

Thank you for sharing! I hope that helps folks. I gave it the thumbs up to help it rank better in the comments 😀

[@johnnym7904]

Thanks man! Just bought a t16, and then bought this glider. This will be my first attempt at programming a model in my new radio !!!!!

[@pilotbeano2813]

Nice flight GB!! She is a ripper bro. Holy smokes she moves.

[@GBLynden]

Yeah buddy! It is quick and I only had it full throttle at a couple of points. So much power!!! 👊🏻😆👊🏻

[@mikessi]

Very smooth for a little one. Looks like fun GB. Well filmed John.

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks man, its not easy. haha.

[@GBLynden]

Thank you very much Mike! It was a lot of fun and will only get better with nicer weather 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

"The sound of freedom in the background". I like it. Nice plane, she's a mover! Edit: Go into telemetry, then to smart battery, you should see three alarms. Inhibit the first two and that annoying sound will stop.

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Sir! I plan to do that tonight when I get off of work. I want to pin it and hold it while I push these little guys. Thanks for watching and commenting 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Pretty smooth flyer. Its been awhile since I have flown my gliders. Ill have to change that

[@reckemroysrc3764]

Nice job guys

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Roy! We absolutely need to do glider time soon, especially on a nice day like this afternoon! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@JohnVHRC]

Turned out nice!

[@GBLynden]

Yes Sir! You did a great job on the camera 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@TheGliderDudes]

Love this glider. Sloping is amazing with it.

[@GBLynden]

It is one of the best new planes on the market IMHO 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@SlowFlyer85]

Great flight nice and mellow John 😊👍👍

[@JohnVHRC]

I try my best!

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Sir! Mello John is awesome 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@jonoedwards4195]

Great demo! Thanks GB & Co. Hot moves.

[@JohnVHRC]

Word.

[@GBLynden]

Hahaha thank you Jono! It was a lot of fun, even in the cold weather 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@ShadowOppsRC]

Thanks for sharing man.

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Shadow! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@old-rcplane-phart]

It IS a wicked lil bird!!!

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Under telemetry, scroll to esc, scroll to LVC alarm. U can make it 'off', but be sure it's set at 3.4v/cell & set AT 3s, not 2s (& verse-vica🤪). Personally, I trashed & gave my 20se away for $500 & bought my tx16s max 2 tx. I gave $2K for that 20se &, IMHO, is no better than a DXs. Tx16s is so many 100x the everything of everything spektrum makes. BUT, u gotta unlearn everything spektrum. It's soooo much easier running EdgeTx.

[@JohnVHRC]

@@old-rcplane-phartyou sold the ix20se for $500? I would have easily paid you double, or more for it! I love my IX20!

[@GBLynden]

Thank you for watching and for the tips my friend! They are both much appreciated 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@jcb6713]

looks nice ! 👍

[@GBLynden]

Thank you JCB! It is fun and I cannot wait to fly it on a warm day 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@michaelreed9805]

Zoom out while flying so we can have a speed reference against the trees and other terrain features. Great plane!

[@GBLynden]

Thanks and I agree in most instances. When clouds are this dark, it fuzzes out like crazy when you zoom out from a fast small thing like this. I will make another video when the sun is nice and the sky is clear 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@themisto57]

The sound of freedom in the background was a great line. Lolllll

[@GBLynden]

Thank you very much! 😎 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@MrTurboparker]

Nice! Great maiden! I'm definitely gonna pick one of these up this coming season - after I maiden my 2m Draco & 1.5m Twin Beech!

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Joel! I am excited for you to be able to get out and fly those planes you have left to maiden. Both should be amazing flying planes! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@tombobb]

Am kind of torn between umx radian and this because i like to glide but I like ailerons... . Nice to see this flying slow.

[@GBLynden]

It is really awesome! Both are in fact! The Radian is on a rare sale right now, so I suggest you get that one first, on sale, then this one. Then again, this plane is 2-3 planes in one. I hope this comment is helpful 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@ashb1433]

u can check battery compatible Spektrum transmitters you can receive real-time battery voltage telemetry

[@GBLynden]

Totally

[@A.M.-RC]

Nice! Just maidened mine as well, only 2s for now since the 3s I had didn't fit, but coughed up the cash for Spektrum ones. Overpiced but hey, I love their UMX. And indeed it's a stout plane, out of the UMX maybe only tye Ultrix is tougher.

[@GBLynden]

Thank you! I will need to check out your 2S video. You know, I have learned that it normally makes the most sense to use the recommended packs for these UMX planes. I also don’t say that as someone that has Horizon Hobby affiliate links because I have purchased everything myself from the batteries to planes seen in my videos. They just seem to work well and they work in all of the UMX Planes. I am off to check out your video now 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@gisall8205]

Great video as usual. Question. Did you program in the Flaperons. If so, how are you liking them.

[@GBLynden]

Thank you! I set it up by the book and have not tried flaperons so far. I hope that helps 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@gianluca387]

Nice video!! Is a velcro under the battery necessary?

[@GBLynden]

Thank you! That is something I am trying to figure out to be honest. I have some smaller velcro I may try in the future, but on this flight, I could barely get the canopy on with the battery velcro on the bottom. It does have velcro straps and is a very tight fit in there. I am guessing it really isn’t needed so long as the canopy seats properly and you use the velcro straps.

[@nbl23]

On safe mode this just goes up like its going to go in a loop when I throttle up at even 50%. I fly the umx p51 voodoo with the same throttle level that one goes straight. Did i configure it wrong? Any ideas how to fix it?

[@GBLynden]

Trim it out of SAFE to get to fly right. SAFE is great, but it will not allow you to can an accurate trim with it. I hope that helps! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

GB great flying and John always awesome video ❤️. In my large fleet I have 3 gliders. All are large and the one I love the most Extreme Surfer. It has 2 pods. Flys best with the EDF Pod. Many UMX planes no glider jet. This one on my list now 🤣. Say hi to Darci and Jodie for me. ✈️🧔💝💝💝

[@JohnVHRC]

Thanks! These tiny planes are not easy to keep in frame!

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

@@JohnVHRC You done good 👍 ✈️🧔💝

[@GBLynden]

Thank you to both Johns!!! 👊🏻💥⚡️💥👊🏻

[@3v1Bunny]

"sorry for the sound of freedom in the background"

[@GBLynden]

Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@TDSgeek]

I will do loops at Zero Throttle🎉

[@GBLynden]

Oh I am sure in certain scenarios. I am glad it sounds like yours is a plane you like. Thank you for commenting 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@SteveGergetz]

Nice maiden. Nice bird. Suggestion for the videographer...if you spend too much time fully zoomed in on a flying plane you loose the spatial perspective of where it is, how fast it's going, how fast it's changing directions...in other words it's less enjoyable than if you zoom out a little bit and let us see some of the ground, the horizon, the trees, and let us get more of a sense of what the plane is actually doing. When the plane itself fills most of the screen and there's nothing else on-screen for reference, it just doesn't feel as much like flying. (Obviously the opposite is bad too...being fully zoomed out gives lots of spatial and velocity perspective, but the plane is so small that that get boring too. I don't have anyone videoing for me, so my videos are always fully zoomed out. Not cool.) FWIW.

[@GBLynden]

Thanks for watching and commenting! The thing about recording moving objects like RC Planes, especially small ones like this, is camera fuzzes. It is compounded even more with the dark Washington clouds this plane was flying against. My rule of thumb is to error on the side of being in too tight versus being too far out. In circumstances like this, you will only have very fuzzy crappy footage that is very hard to edit. It is pretty much impossible to have both, sadly. The only difference might be having a $20,000+ camera, but that simply is not in the cards for me. Btw, I have tons of new videos I plan to drop between now and Christmas 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@toolbaggers]

You need higher C rated or larger mAh packs to reduce the voltage drop.

[@GBLynden]

I would normally think that is the case, but I think in this instance the alarm is set way too high. I may just inhibit it and fly full throttle the entire time lol Thank you for watching and commenting 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@louismasters5531]

hi I have the umx p51 mustang and the umx waco but to be honest I dont fly them any more the umx conscendo does it all so much better plus you can get 15 min fight time best umx ever

[@GBLynden]

This one truly is a great little RC Plane! Thank you for watching 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@toolbaggers]

Guns and "drones." Sounds like Ukraine.

[@GBLynden]

🤣🤣🤣🤣
