Let me know if you would like me to review the E-flite UMX Twin Otter on this channel.

These are my Review Notes:

Pros:
- Compact size, but flies like a much larger plane
- BNF with AS3X & the option of SAFE Select
- 2S or 3S power options
- Has a Telemetry enabled ESC & Receiver for battery warnings
- Overall nice looking scheme like the V1

Cons:
- The white on the horizontal stab was redish white, but the camera hid it well
- Wing wires are not taught
- Ding on white part of the canopy
- The way it taxi's on pavement leaves a lot to be desired

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this new RC Plane:

"You don't fly this airplane," says Aviat Aircraft™ Company about its envelope-pushing Pitts® S-1S. "You wear it." The aerobatic biplane's proven design and highly responsive controls have made it a potent competition aircraft for decades. Due to its overwhelming popularity, E-flite® has brought back the UMX™ Pitts® S-1S with updates and upgrades that make it the easiest to fly, most convenient, and most affordable Pitts model yet! It now includes optional-use SAFE® Select, is both 2S and 3S compatible, and provides real-time battery voltage telemetry to compatible Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters. Because of its ultra-micro size, the UMX Pitts® S-1S can be flown indoors in gymnasiums and other suitable spaces, or outdoors in many yards, parks, and sports fields. The E-flite® UMX Pitts S-1S makes it easier than ever for a wide variety of pilots to enjoy an unmatched biplane flying experience!

This updated and upgraded version of the E-flite® UMX™ Pitts® S-1S is the most affordable, most convenient, and easiest to fly Pitts® RC model yet. Exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® keeps it smooth and optional-use SAFE® Select makes it more stable than ever before. Plus, the factory-installed brushless power system now features a 2S- and 3S-compatible outrunner motor. Install 2S 280mAh batteries for performance similar to the original model or use 3S 300mAh batteries for more speed and unlimited vertical performance. The control unit/flight controller includes an ESC and Spektrum™ receiver that provides real-time flight battery voltage telemetry to compatible Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters while you fly. Constructed of advanced EPS material for a lightweight yet durable airframe, this Bind-N-Fly® Basic model arrives 100% factory-assembled. Just bind it to your 5+ channel DSMX®/DSM2® equipped transmitter and you can be flying in minutes! The ultra-micro size is perfect for flying indoors in gymnasiums and similar large spaces, or outdoors pretty much anywhere — yards, parks, sports fields and beyond. Experience the thrill of piloting one of the most celebrated aerobatic biplanes of all time with your own E-flite® UMX Pitts S-1S!"

Nice flying UMX Pitts! Looks like its got much more vertical capability compared to V1 which was the only thing I wanted improved. Thanks for the review!

[mikessi]

Well done maiden GB. Excellent tracking with the camera John. It always amazes me, how well such small planes can fly.

[Cadillacstsv]

Hey GB! Very nice 3S maiden of the sweet little UMX Pitts! Looks like the wind made it a little interesting! I might have to try it on 3S bur it's such a great little street flier on 2S! Nice camerawork by John as well! Thumbs up! Cheers GB!

Horizon Hobby HAS replacement stuff in stock now for this lil hellion! I ordered some stuff i knew id need. (1 way or another, eventually 🤪😜😳🤷!)

[old-rcplane-phart]

What an awesome lil pitts!
Got mine Friday, maidened & perfected it Saturday! (Safe for taking off my tonneau cover, every other safety off, + 125% rates with -50 expo😜!) I liked it so much, i ordered 2 more batteries (venom 3s/450mah) while recharging the 3 i had! 7 minute flights under 3d'n & doing stupid stuff! 🤷

[billflynn]

Interesting how it still sounds like a UMX even with higher voltage - 1900KV now so wonder how it is on 2S!! Nice Work!

[jcb]

nice !!! if it ever stops raining and wind gets below 20mph; maybe I can get mine out :-)

[rcaviationcrawling]

Cool. I flew the original, loved it, 3s sounds like a nice upgrade.

[JeffinLowerAlabama]
