I cut a tiny water rudder out of the plastic cover on the AR620 package for mine. Just wedge it in the rear wheel coil. No glues. No screws. No probs. Steers like a champ. Had to tape over my servo covers and most of the cooling holes in the fuse, too. Water will chatter the heck out of those HH linear servos. Good times 👍

Great video! I have always loved the water. The fountain is awesome with the plane flying around it.

👍 I've never flown off of water but have had hours of fun with my UMX TT flying off of snow using those same floats. If you're going to use those floats on snow then putting a strip of tape down them is a good idea. Non powdery snow can be a bit abrasive if ice crystals make up some of the snow's consistency.

Thanks Bill! I will try to remember. I do want to try that.

One of the club members at my local flying field recommended to smear Gorilla Glue on the bottom of the pontoons. Just apply by (gloved) finger or brush and when it dries it provides a nice smooth surface that protects your pontoons and water will just roll right off. I did it to the floats on my UMX Turbo Timber and Twin Otter and felt like it was well worth the little bit of time spent.

Thanks Mark! I will probably do that.

I've read a comment on the Saylors channel about a spray too, but sounds like the Gorilla glue would work better - a hard layer - expecially if the pond has a rock/concrete rim at the shore.

Landing was interesting, the water seemed to stop the plane quickly as vs a runway. Pretty cool stuff. Love the Atari hat. LOL! Reminds me of my first cartrage Asteroids,,,teo, teo, teo!
@IJustGotHere2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, if I would use a little longer approach with throttle it probably would look more natural. I was trying very short approach with no throttle. 😅🛩💯 My favorite hat!

I flew my old red UMX Turbo Timber off of a pond earlier this summer. It was lots of fun, but the wind caught a wingtip and it flipped over, frying the ailerons. I had to order a new wing with servos ($65), but it works again! My replacement TT Evo will stay high and dry, but the red one will see the pond again!

That was a nice view, the reflection on the water and with the fountain gave just a nice ripple effect. How different is flying with floats? I have some for my Sport Cub - thought it would be something different - but haven't had a chance to test them out yet.

Ouch! Yours flies about as bad as mine on floats. When you started, the plane sat level on floats. At 4:25 the tailwheel is submerged! Same problem here. It becomes tail heavy in flight off water. Maybe Horizon needed to design floats for the UMX TX instead of recycling 12 year old UMX Carbon Cub floats? I fly off the lake all the time. There's not a field withing 30 minutes. This UMX is back on wheels, hanging on the wall and collecting dust. Too many great float planes to waste time with this turd.
