This is how Horizon Hobby describes this UMX Glider slash UMX Stunt Plane:
"The E-flite UMX Conscendo is a scaled-down, ultra-micro version of the Conscendo Evolution 1.5m! As the most powerful, capable, and fun to fly version yet, the Conscendo Evolution took the market by storm and quickly became one of the best-selling and most popular E-flite models ever. It delivered a unique blend of soaring, sport, and aerobatic flight performance that made it a favorite for sport pilots and glider enthusiasts alike. And now, the UMX Conscendo makes it possible to enjoy that same flight experience in more places and smaller spaces from large yards to parks, sports fields, and beyond! It's even more affordable and convenient - while also being easy to fly - which makes it a perfect choice for a wide range of low-time to experienced pilots.
Whether you're a low-time pilot looking for your next airplane after learning to fly with a trainer, or an experienced pilot interested in an ultra-micro sized version of the incredibly popular Conscendo Evolution 1.5m, the E-flite UMX Conscendo is an easy and extremely fun to fly sport aerobatic motor glider that offers a flying experience you simply can't get with any other model! With a 2S LiPo battery, the factory-installed brushless power system - featuring a telemetry-capable ESC, specially-tuned outrunner motor, and folding prop - delivers plenty of thrust for fast climbs to soaring altitude, sport flying, and basic aerobatics. Or, when using a 3S 300mAh battery, it delivers even more speed and thrust for unlimited vertical performance without the need for modifications or upgrades! The composite-reinforced airframe has the strength and stiffness to handle anything experienced pilots will want to do with all that power, performance, and full 4-channel control. Yet the UMX Conscendo is still easy to launch, fly, and land because it features exclusive AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. Plus, you can enable the optional use flaperons and spoilerons for even more capabilities! Best of all, the UMX Conscendo arrives almost fully factory-assembled and nearly ready to fly right out of the box. Simply install the one-piece wing with the quarter turn thumbscrew, install a charged battery, bind it to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2 equipped Spektrum transmitter and you're ready to fly!”

[@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! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@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 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@TheGliderDudes]

Love this glider. Sloping is amazing with it.

[@GBLynden]

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

[@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 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@SlowFlyer85]

Great flight nice and mellow John 😊👍👍

[@JohnVHRC]

I try my best!

[@GBLynden]

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

[@ShadowOppsRC]

Thanks for sharing man.

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Shadow! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@JohnVHRC]

Turned out nice!

[@GBLynden]

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

[@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 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@RC_Ludz_N_Co]

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 !!!!!

[@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 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@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 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@ashb1433]

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

[@GBLynden]

Totally

[@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 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@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 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@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! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@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 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@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!!! 👊🏻💥⚡️💥👊🏻

[@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.

[@REALPERSON-mv9mp]

Hello, I found Bellaire RC club,what other places are there?? Thanks in advance

[@GBLynden]

Hi there! That is the only one with a paved runway that I am aware of locally. What kind of planes will you be flying? 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@REALPERSON-mv9mp]

@@GBLynden I'm flying the fast umx conscendo glider. I have the large aeroscout also I haven't flown yet and the night raidion glider. I'm new to brushless, gyro ,and more than three channels 😄

[@GBLynden]

Fun!

[@3v1Bunny]

"sorry for the sound of freedom in the background"

[@GBLynden]

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

[@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 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@toolbaggers]

Guns and "drones." Sounds like Ukraine.

[@GBLynden]

🤣🤣🤣🤣
