Thank you Jon. You read my mind and answered my question and enabled me to make an informed decision.

What a great and useful video Jon - thank you! I’m literally about to buy one or the other, having honed my skills this summer (UK) on a 1.5m Timber Turbo and Conscendo. I want a UMX for quick winter day flights … heart says Pitts but I think head says Waco! Thanks!

I thought it was “wake-O” too. But a lady who flies a real one calls it a “walk-O”. Apparently it stands for “weaver aircraft company of Ohio” so it has nothing to do with WACO, TX. 👍 great comparison! P.S. add xtra weight with a big sticker of a taco 🌮 on the Waco 😄

I have both of them and have reinforced the landing gear with epoxy and fiberglass. On the pits I reinforced the wing struts with epoxy and carbon rods doesn't seem to affect the performance at all. They both fly well it can handle a strong breeze pretty good.

Thanks Jon, I always waned to see a side by side of these two planes ! Great flying and comparison of two of my favorite UMX planes.

Thank you! They are both awesome planes! But, for my flying style, I prefer the WACO!

To me, the mostly white Waco is much easier to see against a blue sky than the mostly red PItts. Red tends to lose detail to the point that it's hard to see the orientation at a distance. Not so with the Waco. The same applies to my white 70 mm T-45 and the 1.2 m T-28-they are so easy to see even at a distance. If I had to choose between the Waco and the Pitts, I would choose the Waco (and I know about the Pitts' visibility-I used to have one of those but I sold it).

Really nice comparison video Jon. You've convinced me... If I were to add a 2nd UMX plane to my hanger (and I likely will) it'll be the WACO.

Thanks! For my flying style, the WACO is the clear winner for me!

Yes, I understand it's a personal choice after all is said and done. I suspect that even after getting the WACO my UMX Timber EVO will remain my favorite.

Couldn't decide between the UMX TTE and the UMX Timber X. Got both. Couldn't decide between the Pitts and Waco, got both! Plus the 850mm Pitts is extremely well mannered, flying as mild or wild as I want it to.

Great comparison and very informative! I'm about to get the Waco as a second plane after the UMX Conscendo. Would you say that's a good next step? Is it quite easy to fly?

I was looking at the Waco today. I did not think the landing gear would like grass. The gear comes off the Pitts and she hand launches with no problems. Jon is right, it needs a large space.

I don `t like the noise from the umx pitts ( I have the umx timber X and 2 cell umx turbo timber) also a terible ( loud ) noise , waco is in backorder in europe. the umx waco sound is less and better in your video, and again superb camera work !

Thanks! Good point on the motor sounds! I forgot to mention that!

@williammoses6460 11 ай бұрын

That bit about the motor sound matters. I love the Pitts. It was the first U-Control model I ever made. Way to much airplane for a beginner. Great paint scheme, too. I can’t turn off my ears. That sound is awful. On that alone I’ll buy the WACO. Keep up the good work.

When doing the hovers try changing you center of gravity back a little bit with your battery or add a very tiny bit of weight in the tail

Had you moved control horns at all? I moved my control horns on pitts I got the Waco today, will likely move the control horns on it aswell

@JonsRC 5 ай бұрын

Hi, The only thing I changed was the rudder horn on the Waco so the rod sits on the inmost hole for max deflection. I left the Pitts stock.

@mattmcbee7109 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for the video. I have a couple of questions for you: - are the Waco landing gear removable? - does the Waco use those horrible u-bends for mechanically trimming the control surfaces? - can the Waco snap or spin? Thanks!

@JonsRC 9 ай бұрын

Hi! Unfortunately, the Waco’s landing gear are not removable, and yes, they do use the U-bends, but they work well enough across all UMX platforms. Putting it into a snap is easy enough and the airframe is more than happy to do it, but spinning it is rather a challenge.

What’s your favorite culdesac flyer?

@JonsRC 8 күн бұрын

Out of these two? The Waco! It’s so floaty does great aerobatics. Out of my fleet? The Hacker Models Laser 230. It’s the best handling, most capable park flyer airplane I’ve touched. I greatly recommend it!

@dancahill8555 9 ай бұрын

Love that Waco. Did you fly the 2S battery in another vid? I need real floaty (slow). Does UMX have a customer service? I need servo stats to input in my Txr. These birds are a good answer to the 280g. rule!

@userTJ39780 8 ай бұрын

250g rule.

@hotheadedfilmshhf6734 Жыл бұрын

I have the pitts and waco as well. I personally think the waco is quite a bit better. It does everything the pits does and more. Its just not as quick.
