E-Flite UMX Extra 300 Flight!

[carr869]

I ordered one last week. Getting real anxious for it to get here. Fun Fun. Still working with the Blade MCPX and loving it. On a sad note I crashed my Big Lama into a tree. Bummer. Broke the tail boom off. Thanks for the video. (Tom)

[Kpilot786457]

I'm using the electronics from this to make a TechOne mini Yak-54.

[earthling1984]

@Kpilot786457 cool I have a techone mini piaget

[Kpilot786457]

so--- this vs 4 site for experienced pilots?

[earthling1984]

@Kpilot786457 I would go with the UMX 300. I enjoy it a bit more than the 4-site myself, it seems more capable to me.

[Blueberry954]

oh yeah i can fly just as well as these guys, ill consider it

[Blueberry954]

@earthling1984 all they have is paper with strips of foam!

[earthling1984]

@Blueberry954 yes, and? damage on this plane was always minimal and never any major damage was done unless the pilot had a fast nose in crash or flew into a tree or something. I know it looks fragile, I was worried of that as well, but if you can fly, this plane is awesome, and I would definetely recommend it over the 4-site in terms of flight performance and fun.

[Blueberry954]

ive seen this thing, it looks like if you crashed it it couldnt be repaired. i think ill go with a 4site

[earthling1984]

@Blueberry954 in my experience it is just as durable as the 4site.

[rc18trocks]

now thats a job!

[canonphoto]

My friend and I just each bought one last night. Mine isn't even out of the box yet but my friend took his out this morning and it is F'd! Couple of flaws when put together. He phoned manufacturer and they are paying to ship it back as well as his new beast, mini beast came with warped fuselage. He was a little pissed this morning, as long as he gets replacements soon things will be alright, might hurt watching mine at indoor this Sunday. Lol

[RCvehicleGuy]

THIS plane is FANTASTIC I flew my friends and compared to the um 4-site, It is 20 times nicer to fly

[bakonlicious]

Anyone know when and where I can buy one of these? Is it possible to get one before Christmas ?

Thanks

[earthling1984]

@bakonlicious horizonhobby website or your local hobby shop. Go to your local hobby shop and put one on 'hold'. ask them to give you a call when it comes in. hobby shops usually get them first.

[shutupnoobvideos]

@bakonlicious getting paid to ly for a living... sounds like an awesome job to me

[shutupnoobvideos]

@bakonlicious crap sorry man didnt mean to post the under your comment

[YourFriendlyMe]

when are you gonna review on the umx beast they are available now

[earthling1984]

@YourFriendlyMe I hope to get one very soon. Next week or two.

[Vik13vik]

My TV is 3D. Does it mean I can fly this easily?

[earthling1984]

@Vik13vik You can try and find out ;p

[wolfxx66]

THEY MUST BE ON CRACK IF THEY THINK IM GETTING ANOTHER FORSITE THAT THIS WILL BREAK WHEN IT HITS THE FLOOR 2 TIMES. srry about the caps i wanted to make my point.

[earthling1984]

@wolfxx66 Ok... Not to be rude... but... The 4-site, and this plane, are very capable, and very well made planes. It is not the fault of the company if the pilot is not experienced enough to fly them and they break them. These planes are for intermediate to advanced flyers. They are not beginner planes. 3D planes are for people who are fully comfortable with 4ch planes - meaning, you can do normal & inverted flight, rolls, loops, snap rolls, knife edges, etc, without even thinking.

[wolfxx66]

@earthling1984 i see your point i got my for site when i was 11 now im 13 and a lot better pilot bu3t like you have to agree that if the plane starts having problems your gona break it.

[earthling1984]

@wolfxx66 if the plane starts having problems? Always do a pre-flight check to make sure servos are working correctly. If motor burns out, you can still land the plane with no motor. The brushed motors last a long time, but do burn out eventually and need replacement.

[SpartanDara117]

@wolfxx66 dude, your not supposed to hit the floor even once. Do you think pilots go to Boeing and say

"Your plane sucks because I crashed it and now its broken!!!"

of course not!! if you want planes that can crash, go get yourself some airhogs. they are indestructable

[justfly60482]

i want one !

[joehandsome99]

...

Very cool.

I am on the fence about this one.

It's selling for $160.00

The Micro Beast is selling for $170.00

I can buy some very nice planes that are way bigger for that price.

Will have to wait and see.

Thumbs Up on the Show ~ Eric

[eastcoast78]

@joehandsome99 yea i think there great and stuff ,but i think there a little over priced,its understandable the ingenuity and engineering that goes into these.But isn't US of A in a recession? lol

I can get many Planes as well that are (what you would think Bigger/more Money)

for instance im getting the RadianPro PNP for around$180 and that is huge.

I think these UM's should be no more then $129.00BNF and say 99.99 for PNPs

Alittle bit more feasible.

But they well still sell like hotcakes ;0)

[Aircraftfreak155]

i want one sooo badly!!!! thanks for showing us this.

[earthling1984]

@Aircraftfreak155 no problem. I want one too!

[Deluxe312]

Wow that looks awesome. Might have to get one.

[ramis182]

i assume that you'll be getting one so.........i cant wait to see that vid!

[Admiral1428]

This uses the same electronics as the 4-Site but it is much lighter and stronger with its single wing and depron/film construction (). If they sold replacement airframes I would put all of my components from the 4-Site into this thing. It is amazing!

[earthling1984]

@Admiral1428 You are correct. I'm not sure if the prop is same or different, but otherwise it is pretty much same thing. I can't wait to get one.

[PlaneFlyyer]

Where is iHobby at?

[earthling1984]

@PlaneFlyyer chicago

[Slayer10000000000]

@earthling1984 i believe it is a brushless motor if i am not mistaken. Any way, how about the umx beast? should we be expecting a review on that one when it comes out?

[earthling1984]

@Slayer10000000000 The new Extra in this video is run on a brushed motor and single cell lipo. The UMX Beast runs on a 2s lipo and brushless.

[earthling1984]

@Slayer10000000000 and yes, I will probably get both the beast and this extra.

[georgesjunglerc]

Sweet little plane, and wow those pilots are great!  Thanks for sharing Tab!

[earthling1984]

@georgesjunglerc Thanks George!

[rcplaneguy1]

Do we even need to ask if your gonna get this??

[earthling1984]

@rcplaneguy1 lol, no need to ask! Of course I need to get one!

[rcplaneguy1]

@earthling1984 same with like the UMX beast? or what about the new parkzone P-47 thats retract ready and flap ready?

[earthling1984]

@rcplaneguy1 We'll see.

[gradius02]

I would love to go to iHobby or an AMA Expo, I hope one comes to Memphis soon!

Do you think you will get an one of these Tab?

[earthling1984]

@gradius02 iHobby is fun, hopefully you can attend some day :)  Of course I must get one of these when they come out!

[Skydive4ever]

Did you get to talk to them and get their autographs? I'm gonna have to get one for indoor flying when they come out, I'm guessing you are too, lol, I could hear you drooling lol ;-)

[earthling1984]

@Skydive4ever I did talk to many of the people there, but no autographs :( I am going to get one of these for sure!

[snm1117]

My son and I are heading to the show in a little bit. Lets see what we come home with!

[earthling1984]

@snm1117 Awesome! Have fun!

[Vik13vik]

That looks much easier to fly than the 4-site.

[earthling1984]

@Vik13vik I don't think it is 'easier' to fly. But it does seem to have a slight bit more power than the 4site.

[poerik]

nice

grtzz

[earthling1984]

@poerik Thanks

[vfrvtec]

wish i was there.but im in the uk.

[MrJED698]

[earthling1984]

@MrJED698 no, they aren't released yet. I will get one when they come out though!

[4mods]

[earthling1984]
