E-flite UMX Slow Ultra Stick BNF Basic EFLU03050

Arrived slightly damaged. Not bad enough to return. Rudder was damaged and was caused from the tail assembly being lose. This caused the tail rudder and stabilizer to slide backwards on the shaft. The servo rods were also pulled back causing the rudder and stabilizer to be pulled extra tight. I moved the tail assembly on the shaft further and tighten the tiny screw. Taped and glued the foam rudder and stabilizer and after drying all night took it for a flight.. I can say I was very impressed on how it flew. Great little plane. I've never owned a 3 channel plane. But it flew great and was doing loops with it. Didn't really need the stabilizer (safe) function. It's basically a small glider and it will float. Needs very little throttle to fly. Plan on having much fun with this little plane. I would definitely recommend this even for a beginner. Too bad mine had some damage when received. It was minor and I've fixed a few other planes in the past so I was familiar. Not a big deal to me.

This is a great little plane. It falls somewhere between the Night Vapor and the Champ in speed. Faster than the Vapor, slower than the champ. Very easy to fly and a very good beginner 3 channel.

This little airplane is amazing, however, you cannot have wind. You need a very calm and still day or evening to fly it. Other than that, it is a dream to fly, perfect for the beginner, especially on safe mode. I love how the propeller comes off with a prop strike, it has happened many times to us, with no damage. I recommend buying some extra batteries, which will extend your enjoyment of flying it. Just a note, the larger mah batteries have a different connector on the end, which leads to other problems. The airplane handles the extra weight just fine, but they don’t have the micro connector like the 150 MAH batteries have.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: * Wing snaps on easily, but good luck trying to remove it * Landing gear will not insert completely in to receptacle and lacks any sort of detent to keep it in place.

Excellent flyer

Fun and easy. Great for beginners.

Easy to build, easy to fly. Experienced 3-5 minutes run time with 1S 210mah battery. Be careful during assembly, adding LED lights, and especially during manual trim adjustment. The carbon control rod connections are weak and will separate if handled roughly. They can be reattached and re-glued/heat shrinked if they are not broken. UPDATE: THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE SLOW FLYER BUT YOU WILL SPEND MORE TIME FIXING IT THAN FLYING IT. FRAGILE CONSTRUCTION AND PARTS ARE NOT CHEAP. ROD LINKAGES, HORNS, WING STRUTS, AND REAR STABILIZER AND VERTICAL FINS ALL REQUIRED REPAIR IN 3 MOS. OF FLYING. SERVOS AND GEARS ARE SENSITIVE TO DIRT AND DUST WITH NO PROTECTION. PAINT YOUR PROP RED AND YOU WONT LOSE IT. THIS PLANE NEEDS AN UPGRADE.

This UMX is a great flier! 3 channel with gyro Fly it in my backyard Eflite!

The plane is fun to fly, but it’s extremely fragile—even handling alone can cause damage. It’s best to avoid flying in anything more than light wind. Overall, the quality doesn’t quite match the price, and I don’t know how the price can be justified. You should expect to need replacement parts.
