I really like how you do the flight review section first!! For us impatient people this helps a lot!! And you are really thorough with all the details as well! Kudos to the camera lady as well!! this is one of my fave planes of all time... yes I said it! I don't care what size!! This thing is amazing!! I have flown it in 20mph winds with no issues, smacked into a chain link fence full speed and with my 950mah pack get insane speeds with almost 20 min flight times!! I normally dislike UMX planes because of the material they are made out of but not this one!! I have a light kit on the way soon as well. So much fun!!!

Hi your right this plane is crazy and brilliant but more importantly I love the banter between you and your good lady camera crew so please please keep the lapel mics as they add so much to your channel, again thanks for sharing your experiences with us all, stay safe and healthy with my best regards from Alan in the 👍👍🤗🤗❤❤

Thanks for the recommendation on this plane, I absolutely love it! It’s my second “real” plane the with the first being the UMX turbo timber and Banggood micro cubs and P 51s prior to that. It’s so addictive, I’ve been smoking six packs a day!

14:40 So true! I got one recently, and it’s really nice to fly indoors. The LED’s are definitely worth the $20

[kermudgeoun]

I love how quiet it is! Might want to pick one of these up for my backyard or for a short bike ride to the park

Hi Brian, I am a beginner and recently bought the UMX Ultrix but had no idea how to set up the plane. Your explanations are really great and I did it. Now I'm just waiting for good weather for the first flight. Greetings from Germany, Frank

I know this video was a year ago, but thank you so much! I just bought this plane had the exact same issue binding, came across this vid where you had that issue and you figured it out for me :)

[michaelgates]

It’s more work, but your audio is so much better. Keep up the good work you guys. Your camera crew does such a great job. Far superior to any of the other RC channels that I watch.

Twin engine + variable thrust = the best configuration for winged RC. Two props churning air seem to make planes more stable and controllable. Variable thrust allows for tighter turns at very low airspeed. A plane like this with 2S power and Betaflight on the flight controller would be the ultimate.

Hey Brian great video. I have one of those and love it. I have a UMX timber parts plane and took the leds off of it and plugged them right into the flight controller on the ultrix and I fly it after the sun goes down and the neighbors love it

FYI: Spektrum has the SPM radio file for download on their website specifically for the Ultrix with all the settings correct. Makes it super easy to setup and bind the radio. If you install the LED kit (which I did), just follow the additional information in the manual to control the LED light sequence. Easy, Peasy. Note: You do have to change the picture to the better one that Brian used (best looking IHMO). I also use the 1S 800mA Spektrum battery (2) and charge it at 2A.
If you are installing the LEDs, take a look at several YT videos on how to do it as there is no instructions on how to do it. Took me about 30 mins and was no issue.

We had two of these collide mid-air while doing 3d, and they just kept floating in the air hahahaha.. the 800mm and this are both well made for its aerobatic purpose.

Here I am just back from the field and I would like to say that I love this little plane (after the conscendo)....the only defect I found in it is the insurance we take to fly it and the fragility of its because precisely, with its electronics to the point, we think we are the king and we quickly do stupid things that lead us to the fatal accident (it is very solid). I love my little plane, it's expensive, but I understand why. Thank you Brian, thank you Horizon

Without the lights you are seriously missing out. I just got this and the lights make it so neat. I don't know if someone more skilled would be able to keep track of orientation in the dark (I was having a hard time) but if you keep it in safe mode you can still fly around at night and put it into some fun spins. I was prepared to be underwhelmed but it looks very very cool. During the day I think I need to keep it in the low rates too as a beginner and even then it's easy to pull out of something and have done a whole loop and head back to the ground before you realize what's going on. The yaw though seems good only for tiny adjustments or setting a spin though and isn't enough to actually make it turn much.

Such a fun airplane one of my favorite umx planes. I run the lectron pro 3.7v 1000 mah 30 c in mine and it flys amazing long flight time .

[navypa]

Sorry one more point of interest thank you so much for showing all of us your reviews keep them coming and your lapel mic is great!

[troyer]

Just got out to fly mine this morning!! WOW, what a great plane! Best $100+ bucks I have EVER spent in this hobby!!!
My 1st LIPO I ever bought was 1500 MAH 3S pack. It was 80 bucks!!!! And very low C rating!! What a POS!! LOL!!
Love this plane, the brushless motors are awesome. I gotta get some bigger MAH PACKS!!!!

[MrGilsvids]

Thumbs up on the lapel mics...audio is much improved and definitely enjoy hearing both of you.

[timbacchus]

Great audio Good questions from the camera crew The instructions that came with your wind sock should tell you how to tell wind speed. If it is one quarter horizontal the speed is something and half something else and full horizontal something else. When in the air it looks like an SR-71.
