This is how Horizon Hobby describes this UMX Glider slash UMX Stunt Plane:

"The E-flite UMX Conscendo is a scaled-down, ultra-micro version of the Conscendo Evolution 1.5m! As the most powerful, capable, and fun to fly version yet, the Conscendo Evolution took the market by storm and quickly became one of the best-selling and most popular E-flite models ever. It delivered a unique blend of soaring, sport, and aerobatic flight performance that made it a favorite for sport pilots and glider enthusiasts alike. And now, the UMX Conscendo makes it possible to enjoy that same flight experience in more places and smaller spaces from large yards to parks, sports fields, and beyond! It's even more affordable and convenient - while also being easy to fly - which makes it a perfect choice for a wide range of low-time to experienced pilots.

Whether you're a low-time pilot looking for your next airplane after learning to fly with a trainer, or an experienced pilot interested in an ultra-micro sized version of the incredibly popular Conscendo Evolution 1.5m, the E-flite UMX Conscendo is an easy and extremely fun to fly sport aerobatic motor glider that offers a flying experience you simply can't get with any other model! With a 2S LiPo battery, the factory-installed brushless power system - featuring a telemetry-capable ESC, specially-tuned outrunner motor, and folding prop - delivers plenty of thrust for fast climbs to soaring altitude, sport flying, and basic aerobatics. Or, when using a 3S 300mAh battery, it delivers even more speed and thrust for unlimited vertical performance without the need for modifications or upgrades! The composite-reinforced airframe has the strength and stiffness to handle anything experienced pilots will want to do with all that power, performance, and full 4-channel control. Yet the UMX Conscendo is still easy to launch, fly, and land because it features exclusive AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. Plus, you can enable the optional use flaperons and spoilerons for even more capabilities! Best of all, the UMX Conscendo arrives almost fully factory-assembled and nearly ready to fly right out of the box. Simply install the one-piece wing with the quarter turn thumbscrew, install a charged battery, bind it to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2 equipped Spektrum transmitter and you're ready to fly!”

Very smooth for a little one. Looks like fun GB. Well filmed John.

[pilotbeano]

Nice flight GB!! She is a ripper bro. Holy smokes she moves.

[ModelAVRChannel]

"The sound of freedom in the background". I like it. Nice plane, she's a mover!
Edit: Go into telemetry, then to smart battery, you should see three alarms. Inhibit the first two and that annoying sound will stop.

Good day everyone.
For people using EdgeTX radio like TX16S or Zorro.
Here the set up:
Protocol : Mode=Multi / Type=DSM / Subtype=X 2F
Inputs: channel 1-4=AETR / Channel 5= Safe-AS3X / Channel 6=Flaperon
- Follow flaperon Advance setup in the manual to activate it on ur TX, it works well.
Hope it helps some of you.
Have fun and more flight powerrrr.

Pretty smooth flyer. Its been awhile since I have flown my gliders. Ill have to change that

[jonoedwards]

Great demo!
Thanks GB & Co.
Hot moves.

[TheGliderDudes]

Love this glider. Sloping is amazing with it.

[themisto]

The sound of freedom in the background was a great line.

[MrTurboparker]

Nice! Great maiden! I'm definitely gonna pick one of these up this coming season - after I maiden my 2m Draco & 1.5m Twin Beech!

Zoom out while flying so we can have a speed reference against the trees and other terrain features. Great plane!

[A.M.-RC]

Nice! Just maidened mine as well, only 2s for now since the 3s I had didn't fit, but coughed up the cash for Spektrum ones. Overpiced but hey, I love their UMX.
And indeed it's a stout plane, out of the UMX maybe only tye Ultrix is tougher.

[tombobb]

Am kind of torn between umx radian and this because i like to glide but I like ailerons... . Nice to see this flying slow.

[ashb]

u can check battery compatible Spektrum transmitters you can receive real-time battery voltage telemetry

[gisall]

Great video as usual. Question. Did you program in the Flaperons. If so, how are you liking them.

[nbl]

On safe mode this just goes up like its going to go in a loop when I throttle up at even 50%. I fly the umx p51 voodoo with the same throttle level that one goes straight. Did i configure it wrong? Any ideas how to fix it?

[gianluca]

Nice video!! Is a velcro under the battery necessary?

[JohnHill-jmtm]

GB great flying and John always awesome video ❤️. In my large fleet I have 3 gliders. All are large and the one I love the most Extreme Surfer. It has 2 pods. Flys best with the EDF Pod. Many UMX planes no glider jet. This one on my list now 🤣. Say hi to Darci and Jodie for me. ✈️🧔💝💝💝

[SteveGergetz]

Nice maiden. Nice bird. Suggestion for the videographer...if you spend too much time fully zoomed in on a flying plane you loose the spatial perspective of where it is, how fast it's going, how fast it's changing directions...in other words it's less enjoyable than if you zoom out a little bit and let us see some of the ground, the horizon, the trees, and let us get more of a sense of what the plane is actually doing. When the plane itself fills most of the screen and there's nothing else on-screen for reference, it just doesn't feel as much like flying. (Obviously the opposite is bad too...being fully zoomed out gives lots of spatial and velocity perspective, but the plane is so small that that get boring too. I don't have anyone videoing for me, so my videos are always fully zoomed out. Not cool.) FWIW.

[toolbaggers]

You need higher C rated or larger mAh packs to reduce the voltage drop.
