E-flite UMX Ultrix BNF Basic Maiden Flight Review On Windy Day

This is my E-flite UMX Ultrix BNF Basic Maiden Flight Review On Windy Day video.

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

Here are my Review Notes for this E-flite UM Ultrix:

Pros:
- Great speed
- Fun 3D Style tricks & Highly Alpha/Harriers, etc.
- A fair price for twin motors
- 1S Brushless motors
- Long flight times
- The foam is thicker and more robust than other UMX Plane foam
- Has a skid for protection when landing on pavement or grass
- You can add lights
- It comes in a small box, perfect to slide in your car on the days you fly big jets like the E-flite Su-30.

Cons:
- It is really small, but I could still see its orientation well overall
- No wheels

Overall this reminds me of a cross between an E-flite Delta Ray One and an E-flite UMX F-27.

In closing, this could end up being my new favorite UMX RC Plane to rival the E-flite UMX Pitts and the E-flite UMX Timber original, but in a very different way.

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this RC Airplane:

"The Ultrix features a unique, all-new design that delivers a flight experience unlike any other, especially for models in the UMX (Ultra Micro eXtreme) class. This twin brushless motor-powered, delta wing airplane excels at smooth sport flying, basic aerobatics and even aggressive 3D — all in the same flight. Its incredible power-to-weight ratio provides hovering capability and unlimited vertical performance. Differential thrust adds yaw control and the ability to perform advanced aerobatic maneuvers including harriers, amazing flat spins and more. Plus EPP construction makes the Ultrix the most durable UMX model yet — ready to thrill RC pilots with more performance in more places and smaller spaces!

The UMX Ultrix is a smooth handling, extremely versatile delta wing with aerobatic and 3D capabilities that you might not expect based on its looks alone. The twin brushless motors deliver an incredible power to weight ratio that offers good speed, plenty of power to hover and unlimited vertical performance. Differential thrust adds the ability to perform harriers, flat spins and more amazing aerobatics. And extremely durable EPP construction makes this one of the toughest ultra micro models yet. The Ultrix handles windy conditions well, aided by exclusive AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization – 3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence for a locked-in feel — it’s like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) Select technology makes the Ultrix easy enough for low-time pilots to enjoy, and the ultra micro size and lightweight construction are suited for flying almost anywhere. Skilled pilots can cut loose indoors in a space as small as a single basketball court, while large yards, sports fields and RC fields make ideal outdoor flying sites for just about everyone. Fully factory-assembled, the Ultrix is ready to fly within minutes of opening the box EFLU6450. Just add an affordable 1S 500mAh battery (EFLB5001S25) and bind it to a compatible Spektrum™ DSMX®/DSM2® equipped transmitter! You can even install the optional LED light kit (EFLU6455) for improved visibility during daylight conditions and to fly at night!"

Look for more flights with my E-flite Su-30 Twin 70mm EDF Jet and the Maiden Flights of the E-flite UMX Turbo Timber BNF Basic (EFLU6950), and Wild Bill Flynn's Flyzone Fokker D.VII Micro EP RTF 400mm Wingspan Biplane (FLZU1000) coming soon!

These are fun little planes, and even on moderately windy days you can just hang the thing 😊

Nice job on the camera John! 👍. Great video

I picked one of these a few weeks ago. I love this little plane! I also grabbed a multi 1s charger and it's crazy how much flying I get out of 5 batteries. Epoweredrc has a great recommendation on gemfan props. The stock props are brittle and kind of junky.

I have 2 of these birds. Just waiting for Hobby King to deliver the batteries ;)

[arniep]

Nice video! Thanks. What are the stick movements to do the flat spins?

Hey Gblynden, I was wondering, I saw that you never reviewed the E-flite Umx Mig-15 and Im thinking about buying it but I haven't found a lot of thorough reviews and I was hoping you could since you do the best reviews. Thanks!

I avoid Horizon products these days - their customer service awful in the UK. Good luck trying to get spare parts, or any technical assistance. If product arrives damaged there is no chance of help from customer service. AVOID.
