How long can it fly? // UMX Conscendo

[@roystevenson9632]

A yaw string indicates your trim setting and "points to the guilty foot" in full size aircraft, and is the opposite of the turn and bank indicator where you "step on the ball" to stay in trim.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Gotcha thanks for the clarification! Its fun to have a yaw string on such a small plane :)

[@tomtom9184]

I love the content. Gentle correction, but the yaw string only indicates your slip angle, not the wind direction. Gliders have them because flying crooked creates drag, and it's the simplest, cheapest, and lightest slip indicator.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Oh I appreciate the correction! I have for sure been saying it wrong!

[@tomtom9184]

@@InvertedAviatorsRC I see, just a way of saying it. Great content, I'm FPVing my UMX consciendo from your inspiration.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Oh awesome!!! Feel free to join our discord to post some vids or to see some of the other projects we're working on!

[@shanesdiy]

Your content is unique and interesting. Too many people trying to make RC channels just flying planes around and that takes some really good flying and good filming to keep folks watching. I've done a few videos of flying but the how-to videos are what I spend the most time on because my flying isn't that exciting, lol. You guys have a good thing going, keep it up and you'll be successful!

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Thank you very much! Yeah we just try to post us having fun while enjoying the hobby, and its worked well for us so far!

[@rlbutterfield]

Your modifications are very creative and clever. No wonder your channel is growing so rapidly. Keep up the good work! 👍🏻🙂

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Thank you very much! Yeah we enjoy the hobby quite a bit, so let us know if there are any other mods we should do!

I just came across this video on the same day I maiden my cesendo .What an easy little flyer Im thinking I was getting some easy 8min flights or better on that tiny 300mah 3s pack , so much fun.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Yeah its awesome! I'm getting ~10 minute flights all the time and its super easy!

[@jamesturncliff5960]

If you really want to go thermal soaring with the UMX crescendo. Try to find a public Arena on a hot day where is the big fans are at the arena fly over those you'll catch thermals off of the building and the heat coming off of those fans

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Great tip! Yeah we haven't had too many blistering days yet, but once we do we can get soaring for sure!

[@GoofballFlyer]

Finish up your glide settings by adding an aileron/rudder mix fine-tuned with your yaw string. Together with your elevator mix that will give you a totally coordinated turn. Just make sure expo is the same for all 3 control axes.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Yeah good call! We'll try to get something like that working!

[@donaldhopkins4581]

I also tested total flight time with transmitter timer set to 4 min. counting down only while above 25% throttle. Using 300 mah 3 cell I kept track of Conscendo with separate timer . I too zoom straight up till it is a small dot then switch on safe mode it levels so you can see black bottom leave it in safe keeps it level ! It was breezy that afternoon using up my 4 min. motor time total flight 37 minutes. motor was pulsing as i landed battery was at 5% not realizing safe mode draws power also still very impressed great plane !!

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Woah that's some awesome flight times!!! Yeah we really love this plane too. Did you test the flight without any FPV?

[@donaldhopkins4581]

Do not use FPV

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Oh that’s impressive! I get nervous flying line of sight when it’s really far away, but keeping the Conscendo airborne for 37 minutes LOS is awesome!!!

[@thereal-stl_slim]

Awesome video again! Lost my 1.2 P47 today on its maiden I was gonna post a video. Somewhere in the corn fields it lays. Got another in the mail already, gonna head track the other if I ever find it. You guys have a great night!

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Oh no!!! What happened? I was flying my corsair the other day and randomly the esc started beeping and I couldn't control it...Did you lose control too?

[@thereal-stl_slim]

@@InvertedAviatorsRC My fault completely. Started final to low hit a wind shear 15ft down into the corn. Tried finding but almost impossible without a drone, No worries lesson learned.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Would you benefit from having a beeper onboard that's controlled by a channel? I'm thinking about designing one that would help with lost planes

[@thereal-stl_slim]

@@InvertedAviatorsRC I already purchased one an Amazon for 7 bucks its awesome and can you run in line with a channel or plugged into any empty channel and it is extremely loud!!

[@gisall8205]

Great video brother. Question. Have you ever tries a 3s 250mah battery. I have a handful of those, and I'm curious to know your opinion on the smaller battery. Or if you know anybody else who's using the 250mah batteries.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

We haven't used a 250 mah battery, but I'm guessing you could get a little longer flight times because its a little easier. What brand of batteries do you have?

[@gisall8205]

@@InvertedAviatorsRC Motion RC / Admiral batteries. With JST plugs.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Gotcha! We'll have to check them out because we've been getting a few comments about the 250's

[@MichelleGianni]

Great video! I am thinking of getting this plane to fly at my local park but I have a question is this a UMX sub 250g? otherwise I will need not be able to, thanks!

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Thank you very much! And yes the whole setup is under 250g! Here's the weight breakdown: UMX Conscendo - 134g WolfWhoop WT03 Camera - 30g 3S battery - 24.5g Total weight - 188.5g These weights are taken directly from EFlite and Amazon

[@MichelleGianni]

@@InvertedAviatorsRC Awesome, Thank you so much!

[@GoofballFlyer]

Also, I don't think you understand that the string is indicating relative wind not wind direction.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Ah yeah I've gotten a few comments about the yaw string. My goal is to make sure the string is pointing straight back whenever I'm gliding

[@GoofballFlyer]

@@InvertedAviatorsRC for those who don’t already know Google adverse yaw for an explanation why it does not and rudder in the direction of the turn is required.

[@larrytaylor2692]

I get 15 to 20 mins on my umx radian and I bet I could do that with this one also

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Oh yeah I don't doubt it. The more packs we fly, the longer and longer our flights get!

[@JLNYardBird]

Wind won’t make your airplane fly longer. I hear this at my field all the time and it is false. If I hope in my full-size airplane on a windy day, it won’t climb faster, because I have to climb at the same speed. If I fly into the wind my flight will be longer to the destination than flying with the wind, and the fuel burn will verify that.

[@InvertedAviatorsRC]

Ah interesting! I figured that with a glider, more airspeed via wind would equate to more lift. With such light plane I feel like enough wind can push the little guy up for longer. And with very little battery being required to maintain flight, that would mean that my overall flight time would be longer on a windier day
