Neat little plane.. I always enjoy your videos.. Thanks for producing solid content.

[@TheRealNVT]

Great presentation style. Different from all the over vloggers. Keep it up, very engaging

[@PhilBender612]

I love the umx planes and this one for me is a must. I own the 1.2 twin otter and love it as well. Have a Merry Christmas Fitz.

[@Realitygetreal]

I have the 1.2 this one SUCKS... No rudder no flaps by umx turbo timber and discontinued umx aero commander both better planes

[@SEYOTwo]

Excellent flying and review, as always!

[@dutchloveRC]

she looks like a GREAT plane!! love my UMXs

[@davegillespie3948]

Nice video....just subscribed. Apparently putting 75% expo on the rudder works great to reduce the sensitivity of the differential thrust without losing too much authority.

[@westfield90]

Thank you and merry Christmas

[@zoridor16]

great plane! I love the design! Is it possible to connect a Flysky transmitter and receiver? greetings (the spektrum stations are not within my reach) 😅 easy to get spare part😮😮😊

[@RichieRich980215]

I was told if you add 75% Expo on the Rudder it's not so jerkee for ground handling and as far flight it acts like a four channel plane! It will do inverted flat spins, Hammer heads, Stall turns a lot better! Happy Flying! 😄

[@HobbyView]

Good advice. I personally didn't find the rudder too jerky, but I can see how some do. I did find that with floats it does wonderful inverted flat spins.

[@Jon_Flys_RC]

I get the sense the plane is more difficult to fly than the average UMX. I see a lot of posting on Facebook groups with otter power packages for sale or asking what the otter electronics can be put in.

[@rackmasterh]

Nice review. Thanks!

[@jamesturncliff5960]

I'm going to put an analog fpv unit on mine when it comes

[@Realitygetreal]

JUST WHY? by the otter 1.2M and fly it fpv (I promise you would love it)

[@jamesturncliff5960]

@@Realitygetreal in Canada I Can fly the umx at any park. The bigger one I will have to drive for an hour to get there and back

[@andyroman8223]

These UMX planes are way too expensive IMO, especially those main circuit boards. Tinywhoops have elrs, a flight controller, a VTX, and 4 escs built into theirs, but are much cheaper. I'm not sure if it's like this with all UMX planes, but my Sport Cub S2 did not have any strain relief on the battery cable, which lead to it ripping off the board and having to resolder. This is fine if you are an experienced hobbyist, but not for a plane marketed towards beginners.

[@noddymcglade7682]

Yeap, the battery cable keeps coming off even with several big dollops of solder. Doesn't fly all that well either. Turbo Timber is a good plane though at only slightly more in price.

[@stevejohnston8543]

I agree. They are nice little planes. This one flies ok but they are extremely fragile. Mine got scuffed up just from regular handling. You’d almost be better off to just put it on a mantle and you could do that cheaper with a model. Also sorry but give me a rudder over differential thrust for a plane like this all day.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Now u need a umx ultrix to hone ur skills for the lil twotter!

[@dieselguy62]

I like it. My bigger one flew great.

[@Crocodile-mogged]

I want this it looks cool but the problem is idk if it comes with a remote, battery and all that or not can u tell me

[@BigDuke6ixx]

£170 for the BnF basic here in the UK which is very expensive. If it was 4/5 channel with flaps and 2s then it would still have been too expensive.

[@Realitygetreal]

Exactly the umx timber is far better I own most of the UMX, this is my least favorite and likely will be sold.

[@rlbutterfield]

Nice video. I subbed.👍🏻🙂

[@Js93js93]

Thank you for the great review and all the excellent content. Do you have an average flight time on the 500mah?

[@HobbyView]

I'll have to test it. Best guess was around 5min

[@TheFrenchPug]

I like the performance of the little guy, but I have to have surface controls. I just gotta know. Lol

[@Littleiron7]

where is the config files? i cant find them

[@theralph2041]

Nice video seems like it would make a good first Rc plane would you say?

[@HobbyView]

Can't say I'd recommend it as a first plane, but would make a great second plane after some experience with a trainer.

[@georise922]

This plane is almost everything I need for my Umx collection but the no rudder is a big NO for me.

[@Realitygetreal]

love your reviews, this Plane Just NOT do it for me, I love the aero commander, I added timber lights to my aero commander and I fly the crap out of it, but two flights on this and its in the box ready to sell, If I wanted differential thrust I would drive a TANK!!
