Please click "Read more" for links and more information. This is an Overview and Flight Talk video that was filmed in 4K using an iPhone 13 Pro Max (so it's even better when viewed on a larger 4K monitor/screen and our apologies for any focus/sound issues!). Flight begins around the 9:40 mark. See more video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYLYZJyJrdJ8ebs Join us at William Bennett RC Airfield ( www.clarkcountynv.gov/business_detail_T39_R58.php ) in Las Vegas with Jason Merkle to learn about the features, flying characteristics and more of the Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm EDF! The E-flite Habu SS 50mm EDF is an affordable and convenient high-performance EDF sport jet that’s perfect for low-time RC pilots making their “next step” into jet flying - and it’s one of the best everyday EDF models for more experienced pilots, too!

Hats off to Horizon for breaking yet another barrier. Some haters around, but this company has done a LOT for the advancement of the RC hobby.

[@DanRibar]

Dude! Great video.

[@GBLynden]

Excellent presentation Jason! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@mikeking3297]

Great video! I think that dog left something down in the grass...

[@RSchwara1]

Great video! I picked one up! Looking very forward to the maiden! Maiden went perfect its a blast to fly!

[@A.M.-RC]

As I prefer small planes, this one is definitely on my list. The rudder and landing gear are simple additions to a model but they can make such a difference, hope we see more great planes soon!

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Great presentation Jason! I love flying the Habu 50mm, and I've passed the TX around a bit with it...everybody has fun with it! Great little Jet!

[@iBrandon2K]

Does the plane have all 3 modes with beginning mode?

[@Bellairvideo]

Hi Jason, Hope you & your family are doing great & now spring is on your doorstep (Autumn/Fall here on OZ) Have not seen you on KZbin or RC Nation for a while. I do hope you will make an appearance again soon. We miss these on camera advanced release informational's. Regards Noel - Bellairvideo

[@SaltyDuck97]

Love this jet Wish all of your models were this easy to hand launch

[@MotoMarkDFW]

I just purchased one this week and have the same Spectrum 2200 mAh battery. Do you have any close-up shots of the battery install? It sure seems tight to me. Any weight added to the tail for balance? Thanks!

[@handle_1969]

Good pilot

[@yodecaf]

Really appreciate using 3s 1300-2200!

[@GregJ228]

How do you think this will do landing in grass with gear on

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

If the grass is short enough to take off from then it will be no problem to land on the same grass surface with the gear on! But if the grass is too long to takeoff from, you should remove the gear and hand launch then belly land. Adam shows it land then takeoff from grass around the 10: 25 mark in this video, then lots of hand launches and belly landings starting around the 12 : 35 mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Gun6WKeNFlb5Y

[@andyhelfenstein7425]

Such a great airplane looks amazing!. I haven't bought one yet as I'm more of a park flier and this needs a long landing strip. Any chance can put the reverse thrust on out of the box for DXS users? I'd love to see a V2 UMX version of this. Also if you made the UMX and this plane in the blue angels paint scheme would be your best seller! Thinking of painting one of these myself.

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

If you fly over grass in a park, you can remove the landing gear to easily hand launch then land on the belly in much shorter distances as shown starting around the 12 : 30 mark in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6Gun6WKeNFlb5Ysi=PBekmM41xKeejEf0&t=755

[@nbl23]

Does this need a remote id?

[@iBrandon2K]

Does the plane have all 3 modes with beginner mode?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

No, only E-flite and HobbyZone "trainer" models like the Habu STS, Apprentice STS, Carbon Cub S, Apprentice S and Sport Cub S have "full" SAFE with the three Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced modes. This model, like most E-flite models, has SAFE "Select" which is basically Beginner mode when it's enabled and turned on, or it's in Experienced mode when it's turned off (there is no Intermediate mode).

[@awsstvawsstv2809]

Hi HH, Are there plans to release warbird jets with 50mm size?. I like this one but i prefer warbirds

[@EthanAter]

After watching this, I CANNOT wait to maiden mine! I might have to this weekend ;)

[@stevejohnston8543]

Ya….thanks man.. I also prefer small aircraft and this one seems hard to pass on as my first jet, especially since it has rudder rather than reverse thrust (which I only like on the Ultrix) and can be hand launched since I fly off grass and can fly slow to boot. Seems to have it all at a good price point so like a lot of us, I don’t think I can hold off now….need to start making sales to support this hobby. Good thing I don’t have a wife 😉

[@gabrielwhalen8278]

Horizon hobby yt guy, will we get more Umx planes this year?

[@HorizonHobbyProducts]

Quite a few more...and the first one is just a few weeks away ;)
