What model is this? I'm working on a similar, concept models 1930 Barnstormer, got it out of a horse barn in the middle of nowhere for a few dollars - seems complete. Love this plane.
I was looking at this but in the EU they were rather expensive ( read 220 euro PNF). Wanted an umx evo timber but that wasn't on available till 2 days ago(bought the crack 6 weeks before). I got a crack yakk ( 180 euro with 3 batts EU perk I guess). I must say a crack yakk is not BNF or PNF takes quite the time if you don't want to be anoyed everytime you look at the seams. Flying the Yakk , maybe I would like it to be a bit heavier like this looks but not by much. I have zero regrets though. This for me openend up the 3d flying too. The only reason I will buy the umx evo timber is that I can fly it in a bit more wind and practice landings with it more right outside my house.
Awesome! The Crack Yak is fantastic without a doubt, and another great tool to hone your skills! So glad you are enjoying it! You'll love Timber Evo for that! A bunch of us setup a fabric runway at the field and fly our UMX planes in 20mph winds lately and almost die laughing 😂 Too much fun! Thanks for watching and sharing friend! 👍
@@honeywoodhobby oh and as of today umx turbo timber evo owner .. HUGE box haha was rather impressed. Shit weather so maiden will have to wait till tomorrow.
What are your favorite maneuvers and methods of practicing 3D and extreme aerobatic flying? Do you have an E-Flite Eratix or a different flat foamie? Share your thoughts and stories! Thanks for watching friends! 👍
Impressive flying skills !! There’s nothing like flying your own contraption for the first time… Couple of pointers: 1. An 8 x 4 prop is probably a bit much for the motor and ESC. If I recall a 6 x 4 might be more appropriate for your motor. Sizing the prop is best done by looking at the spec sheet and using the manufacturers recommended size. 2. Balancing the plane is VERY important. The rule of thumb is that the plane is balanced when it sits horizontal or slightly nose down when supported under the wings at a point 1/4 to 1/3 back from the leading edge (approximate center of lift). If it is tail heavy controlling it can be very difficult and often results in a crash. Having said that… great job ! Welcome to the hobby !
Thank you very much Chris!! This is the best corner of the hobby we’ve found so far 😉 Flyin’ has really become our jam. After a few flights and very poor battery life and rather warm motor, we went to a 6x4! It was a lot less lively and left us with similar flight times, but the motor was much cooler! It CG’d out about 1/3-1/2 way back on the wing but still felt a bit tail heavy. The closer I looked at it the more I realized the horizontal stab was angled a bit down 😂 I promise to measure things more next time haha. Thank you kindly for the wise words and advice! We’re starting the next one soon and plan to film the process this time 👍🏼
WOW! Great video and narration. Another newbie here. Would you recommend any specific RU-vid videos for learning the 3D aerobatics you demonstrated? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. All the best to you.
Thank you very much John! A lot has been learned from our kind friends at the field and good old stick time (especially on the sim 😂) Michael Wargo, Two Brothers rc, and others on YT have helped too! Thanks for watching 🙂👍🏼
Shut up! How is your son literally what all of us THOUGHT we were as kids. ***** BTW RU-vid I've seen this kid fly. I 100% know that he is flying that plane.
When I was your age I was dreaming to get such a cool RC airplane... It was too expensive and nobody sell it in my area...You know, many years before internet. I hope your realise the luck you have to live in this world son.
I asked one RU-vidr if he had a favorite plane over all the others he flies. And he said the UMX Ultrix, hands down. So here I am taking a look. There are a lot of blown out days here in South Dakota.
This is a FANTASTIC plane in the wind 👍🏼 I do prefer the full size as the UMX is reaaally small but either way they are FUN planes 😄 Thanks for watching!
