Horizonhobby.com Preview Ultra Micro Extreme Beast from E-flite

[connieindahouse]

Make a Carbon Z Beast!!!!!!! 

[TheDaveOwensBand]

Reccommend For Great flight time, To use a Hobby zone 7.4 300mah Way better flight time (around 15 min) and performance is still there. Battery cost the same as the sad 120's. So Hint hint Horizone. Also HZ battery can be charged with any Lipo charger because it doesnt charge thru the balancer lines like the 120's do.. Had to solder a jack on the ESC power feed, no biggy) If I don't stay in high performance mode I can fly 25 min. Well worth the conversion and extra weight. I Love the Beast!

[TheDaveOwensBand]

The Beast UMX is a great flyer, Heading lock is a trip with the new reciever. It Didn't come with a battery, cut backs I assume to afford the 6400 lbl reciever. Great flyer, bad is to soft built. External bracing fails on glue joints and will cause the foam to fold at stress point. Elevator is split and will tear foam causing right side of elevator to loose control. Should have split rod. reglue all braces and avoid landing in grass that cause it to roll over. It doesn't like bumps. Soft build.

[IndoorRC]

This IS one hell of a beast. Nothing like flying the original beast though!

[ILiveAgain1]

Hey Jim what's going on I went to place an order for this little bad boy at Horizon it says it has been ''Discountined''(sorry i know my spelling is bad lol) will you guys be making an upgraded version or what?

[MGB1977Red]

The Beast is a hoot to fly and the power system is superb. Here's my video:

"UMX Beast UPCLOSE aerobatics in HD" by MGB1977Red

The new six channel receiver with brushless ESC is brilliant. Flaperon option is wonderful and it even has a retract channel. With brushless motor and 2 cell lipo pack you can count on a consistent flight every flight. The carbon fiber rigging makes the Beast almost indestructible. Flaperons help and full flaps at flare bring the Beast to a halt quickly.

[fanboybff]

will it work with a different transmitter but have a spectrum module

[Blueberry954]

Just got mine this afternoon ;)

[jademakos123]

@puckhog329 look it up

[masonkim7]

@puckhog329 it's 99$ now

[jatobeast]

can u fly it with a DX5

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@jatobeast Yes but not recommended. You will want a transmitter with both programmable dual rate and exponential adjustments for a plane such as the Beast.

[jatobeast]

@HorizonRCdotCom THX

[jatobeast]

@puckhog329 I got mine for $129.99

[SpartanDara117]

@jatobeast i got mine for $99.99 :D

such a good deal lol

[alexhuey100]

HEY YOU GUYS NEED TO MAKE A 15E BEAST LIKE THE PZ EXTRA ...... MAKE PZ BEAST THAT WOULD BE SOOOOOO COOOOOL........PLZ.PLZ.PLZ.PLZ­.PLZ.PLZ.PLZ.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@puckhog329 $169.99

[WaterfowlKiller97]

@HorizonRCdotCom. Okay. Thanks. Could you send me the link once the video is done?

[WaterfowlKiller97]

@HorizonRCdotCom. Okay I'll take a look at it. I had another question. How do you do barrel rolls and those other cool tricks? Thanks.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@WaterfowlKiller97 We're working on videos to show you how to do maneuvers in-flight.

[WaterfowlKiller97]

@HorizonRCdotCom. I'm looking at buying this plane. Only problem is it doesn't come with a controller. The one on this video is $450 or something like that. I'm not paying that much so could you lead me in the direction of a cheaper controller? Like under $100. Thanks

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@WaterfowlKiller97 You're going to want a more advanced transmitter for a plane such as this. I wouldn't use anything less than a DX6i myself.

[Rinocerente]

Will you guys PLEASE release this in a plug and play version?!

[theeverythinggeek828]

would anyone know quique's e-mail? I have a picture of him winning an aussie comp from the 80's if he is interested.

[GFLYYER]

horizon should make a rc concorde and sell it under parkzone.

[ThisisTheShady]

I love my UMX Beast!!!!! It thinks it's a big plane....

Please tell me you are going to develop a park flier size version of this plane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[matrobsti]

Will this plane be able to harrier og hover/ alittle 3D, ot is it just extreme acrobatics?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@matrobsti It's more designed for the extreme aerobatics than 3D

[M0rdH0rst]

I just ordered one :)

Already have the SU 26 and it is fun, it could need a bit more power but works fine.

Looking forward to the beast with it's brushless power ;o)

[MrDrairplane]

Will this plane hover?

[theeverythinggeek828]

@MrDrairplane yes

[theeverythinggeek828]

@theeverythinggeek828 could you pm me his e-mail?

[helipassion]

Where's the Video showing Quique flying this model?

[bakonlicious]

Does it do 3-d

[roberttreboranita]

this model is a beauty...

[kevinander77]

Very cool!!! Its about time they got a brushless motor in them. I hope they start doing brushless in all of there micro planes.

[rcplane1234]

Haha,I got the first Micro Beast,haha.You dont :):).Haha

[YouSoPorker]

i thought he said hooker!

[Aircraftfreak155]

i say shuold come out with a 36 or 40 inch wingspan electric beast so its afordible to the avrige modeler unlike the 100cc version wich is way to expensive. or like this one being to small but at a good price. If they do come out with a kit this size id pay $140 for the arf kit.

[Muzyl88]

is the performance of the beast compairable to the sukhoi

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@Muzyl88 Haven't seen one fly yet but everything I've heard and the folks I've talked to say this should outperform the Sukhoi.

[Gofer303]

Love to have one is there a RX R version?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@Gofer303 RXR? Do you mean RTF or ready to fly? No, there will not be as you will want to use a transmitter that has features such as expo and dual rate adjustments, along with more precise gimbals.

[gradius02]

@HorizonRCdotCom He means reciever ready. RX R. A PNP version.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@gradius02 Ah, sorry, haven't heard that term before. There are no plans to make a PNP at this time.

[peperpimenta]

Is the spinner glued? the small hole on the front looks suspicious :)

I love my mustang but cant wait to try the BL and 2S setup on a micro.

Looking forward to see this in the LHS.

[koskorax]

It seems they simply FORGOT to build the aileron servos into their "scale look". I'm sorry, but the extrenal and uncovered servos destroy the look completely.

[planeaddicted]

This airplane looks great! Does it come in a box like the 4-Site? The box for the 4-site is great for transporting the airplane without it getting damaged.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@planeaddicted I believe it will but have not seen the box for it as of yet.

[EricAdventurer]

Wow!

Can't wait to get my hands on it.

You guys at Horizon rock!

[Raptor50aus]

Looks great. Yet another great plane from eflite and Horizon.

I have the Eflite 4-site which is great but the Beast looks even better.

[fastestcararound]

mid October !!! my order is already in.... :) but i must add, i do not like the exposed aileron servos !!!

[Prttimeninja2]

I cant wait to get my hands on this, only problem is, "Due Late October" thats when its cold and the wind really starts to guest here in Michigan. Still gonna buy it tho. xD

[MIRCWOOD]

The 100cc version is SICK!! check it out!! Maybe someday I'll get one but I'll start with this micro version..

[MIRCWOOD]

I preordered one when do they come out? Can you use the ailerons as flaps since it has dual servos?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@MIRCWOOD Excellent question, we will check on this and get the answer posted. It is a "6 channel AR6400LBL" receiver.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@HorizonRCdotCom I am told that it will work. I am also in the process of testing to see for myself. Anyone else? AR6400L 6ch rx.

[wolfxx66]

how much is it?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@wolfxx66 $169.99 on the HorizonHobby website. 

[pieman12345678987654]

could I use 2 msr batteries with an adapter?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@pieman12345678987654 That would not work, sorry.

[qwasd0r]

I ORDER you to release a Micro Junkers Ju-87 next. DO IT! :)

[RLKD]

What a beautiful little thing.

[sinkinpat]

come on magnetic hatches, clear canopy? those are not new. check out my video on my acrobipe conversion. I have been doing magnetic hatches and clear canopy on a great looking biplane with a brushless for years on a $15 dollar plane.

[scv405]

Congratulations, you want a medal? I didn't hear Jim or Quique say they were new, they just pointed out the features.

@sinkinpat

[sinkinpat]

OK fist off there is nothing new and exciting about the airframe. I have been converting a 15" WS biplane that looks like a pitts for years. look up ACROBIPE. even the acrobipe has a clear canopy, and a foam pilot head too. I got very similar performance but I was heavier.

[thinano]

Suprized Quique didn't design a 3D capable plane ...

[shobu7777]

Does this plane fly similar in skill level to the Parkzone sukhoi?

[jpwallace2000]

would be nice if you had parts for your other planes instead of bringing out new ones i.e. super cub lp electronics

[Sergeantsteamer]

LOVE IT!!!! I tell ya man...you guys are the BEST!!! I just put my name in the pot to hopefully get one of the first ones that come in.

Great job Q.S.

[startazz]

Yes at last i might get to fly a beast ;-) because there was no chance of me flying the first (big) beast so lets hope i get to try this one out ,thumb up HH.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@startazz Me to, A Beast for the masses!!

[qwasd0r]

Just wonderful.

[2SLipo]

Ouch! I won't be able to share the batteries for the UM P-51 and the Blade MSR. :(

[Aircraftfreak155]

ok stipid qestion because i know it has enupf power but will it hang on the prop and then pull out verticly?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@Aircraftfreak155 There is a lot more to Flying beyond the stall than hanging on the prop..Listen to Quique explain why it is not a 3D airplane then make up your own mind.

[Aircraftfreak155]

@HorizonRCdotCom yes it will sounds like i might be able to use it for a pep asimbly at school if i do get the rc club off the ground at school.

[BAfett0505]

wow this thing looks sick 

[BAfett0505]

wow this thing looks sick!!

[SkinnyMcGeeSF]

Dose it come in the box hangers like the micro p-51

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@SkinnyMcGeeSF Yes it does.

[zeester36]

wow very nice plane

e-flite knows what the people wand

pz is still giving us brushed motors like the new t-28 :(

[mfasouletos]

You didn't mention when we could expect this one. By december maybe?(high hopes)

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@mfasouletos Hopefully it is mid to late October

[silverbeatle71]

Absolutely totally and completely awesome. You guys hit another one out of the park. This time, the bases were loaded.

[theastrovanman]

What?! You show me this after I just got pumped up about the Ultra Micro T-28?! I may have to get this little bird instead... unless you guys are unveiling any more Ultra Micros in the next few weeks ;)

[joybuzzer]

I think you guys need to aim more towards the $100 price tag with these ultra-micros. I like the ultra-micros, don't get me wrong. I have a Sukhoi XP that I LOVE, which is good fun for less than a hundred bucks... But biplane or not, NO WAY is the micro beast worth $170. I can get a whole lot more plane for that much money.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@joybuzzer We understand, and I think we are trying to do that with the UM birds but this one introduces the outrunner brushless motor with brushless speed control and a level of performance that has not been seen in these things. Maybe it will lead the way to something you are thinking about.

[Cilanae]

UMX, X amount of dollars. The smile on Jim's face, priceless! This is the best looking micro so far.Great job to the designer.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@Cilanae Yeah, I think I better get myself under control! I love this one.

[fnlrun]

finally a brushless motor!!!

[TheIndoorFllyer1]

That

is awesome

[KJKmodel12]

Finally, I don't have to keep the UMX Beast a secret!! 

[bluefisherking]

Lovely. just lovely - I want one.

The only complaint I have is that the aileron servos are on the bottom of the wing, so it can't be flown without landing gear (e.g. if flying in a back yard with grass only), as a belly landing would rip out the LG. Hmmm.

[Aircraftfreak155]

omfg i got to have one that is amasing.

[magicmike1122]

the guys accent sells the plane

[ArcticRc]

Wow.. i have been waiting for this one.. superb.

Greetings from Norway

[a09a21a]

SOOO AWSOME :D:D:D

[grk65]

I would get the T-28, a much better deal, hands down!

[m43991]

em what to get a t-28 or this

[grk65]

$169 is WAY TOOO MUCH!! for a Micro BNF

[SvenOkonomi]

@grk65 Theres planes of this scale out there for half the pricetag. Expect the " but its spectrum and not chinese cheap stuff we used" speach when you complain though.. but seasoned fliers know better.

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@SvenOkonomi Sorry Sven, nothing is even close to this one, you might say it but you will have to show us, the Beast is way advanced on anything there is. Take a look at the flight video on the product page at HH.com. See the roll rate that looks like a blur, see the verticle climb that goes right out of sight doing rolls.

[SvenOkonomi]

@HorizonRCdotCom What can I say.. Prophecy fulfilled? Electrics can never be the cause of that price. Buying a similar setup would run me barely 60 dollars all up, so thats 100 dollars for maybe 20 grams of styrofoam? Sorry guys, 160 bucks for such a tiny bit of foam is a lot, no matter what you call it. It does look nice and I would buy it around the 100 dollar mark. Just a tip, consider selling these as barebone ARF for people to kit out themselves. you'd catch some non spectrum pilots aswell.

[YourFriendlyMe]

lol woah where did this come from????omg lol 

[liambowers666]

Now for a 30-40 sized balsa Beast and i'm sorted :)

[RockStarHeli]

Yes, I hope they sell the motor and receiver separately so we can put it in our UM Mustangs, Sukhois, and T 28's....

[slyfoxflyer66]

FORGET THE UM T-28 IM BUYING THIS!

[kangsterizer]

NOW that's walk I'm talking about.

[wirelesscps]

know that is engineering

[Lilbanks96]

amazing



[HorizonRCdotCom]

Hey guys, we totally appreciate the excitement out there but please remember to keep the comments G-Rated including language and innuendo. We get a lot of kids and younger people who watch our videos and read our comments. Please keep that in mind, I hope you understand.

Gary

[bagofbones11]

that thing BEAST!!!

[rg26100]

Now we can all have a beast for 169, not 1000 dollars!

[tydb1]

THIS IS REALLY COOL. ill buy one for sure

[team222badbrad]

This is awesome, but I'm still waiting for an UM edf jet like those airhogs except with real control and speed! :-)

[rcmotorsect]

apsolutly buying one! so cool!

[batmancrap753]

omfg thats the coolest thing ever

[helibob22]

Mission accomplished HH. My pre-order has been made!

[rockonmyfriend]

NOW THIS IS PRETTY F@@@ING COOL! next tra a p-38L!!! that is so cool! brushless!!!!!

[Mark2790]

Good work guys :) Anything on the drawing board for a twin engine micro?

[rockonmyfriend]

@Mark2790 haha every time they make an ultra micro video i comment and say "make a p38l!!!" someones tried making thier own with two recievers and they both bind at the same time and work fine

[Pilotsofer]

next airplane. funtana 125 to mini beast

[stratosjoebar]

you cant fly something if you cant see the damn thing...

i wonder what else they'll think...

[nickssocool1]

what is the estamated price

[TheFlyinghotdog]

@nickssocool1 Its $170 on horizon hobby

[superchase08]

sweet first comment!!!! lol this thing looks dangerous!! i want one
