You Won't Believe how FUN this Mini Biplane is on 3s!!! - UMX Pitts S-1S RC Plane 

Check out the UMX Pitts RC Biplane here: bit.ly/370ysXD You Won't Believe how FUN this Mini Biplane is on 3s!!! This is the brand new UMX Pitts S-1S RC biplane. It looks so good, so during this maiden flight, Nate had to push it to it's limits. On 2s it flew very tame and slow; however, on 3s this rc plane was so much fun to fly. It could really pull off some fun aerobatic maneuvers. Disclosure: This description box contains affiliate links.

The white nose gives it character and matches the red and white scheme.

The Pitts S-1S (Special) is a well known aerobatic plane that has been in continuous production since 1944. It is an awesome aerobatic plane, and you will see at least one at any airshow you go to aross North America. The RC version seems to retain all of the excellent aerobatic characteristics of the full sized one.

With this video you’re now for me over the top! Your explaining everything a beginner wants to know about supporting you OR the local hobby store, you’re explaining, that a firmware upgrade is needed, to get telemetry on your older DX radio and then your short explanation about how to get this wonderful airplane into the air by just giving the model a name and then binding it to the radio. This video is simply brilliant and every beginner should save it as the first video, popping up on the RU-vid channel!!! Many, many thanks to you!!! I’m really, really grateful!!!

SWEET, AWESOME, very cute biplane!! I LIKE the WHITE dot on the prop nose cone!! Thanks Saylors soooo much for the FUN, HONEST, MAIDEN!! 💟👍😘

This one looks like a winner! I may have to add one to the UMX collection. Thanks Nabby!

Good to see the new version has unlimited vertical. That was the one area that needed improvement from previous version.

I'm loving this plane! 😍 🛩💯

Nathan, I have been watching you fly with Abby filming for years. Both of you have become professionally vested. Her videos are the best ground film on the internet. This little, teensy Pitts just works as a showplace for the level that YOUR flying skills have achieved. 👍👍

It would be nice to see UMX add a service hatch to their micros. I love my Turbo Timbers. But access for repairs AINT easy. But this Pitts S-1S looks like a must have for sure! Appears super stable.

I’ve been waiting for you guys to release this video. Happy Boat week is over and back to the planes.

What an amazing bi-plane. Flies like a dream. Abby's turn next to fly it. Excellent flights Nate & excellent camerawork Abby!! 😊⚓

Thats really neat, ive seen the real pitts many times at air shows. The odd thing about this rc is its small but looks deceivingly big in the air. Really nice

What a sweet ride

I love this plane it is so much fun it flys like my big 36% planes

still lovin my original UMX Pitts

Abby and Nate y'all rock! Love the channel and content! I'm here for the algorithm! Peace

Love the look of the Pitts 😀 would display awesome in my living room.. Never seen u wearing black Nate 👍👍 Always a good time 💯⚓✈️🛩️🚀

Cuban Eights Mate! Youve become a bit of an Ace. Great review, dig You Two.

wow,cool plane and awesome flying

I just got my Pitts yesterday so I couldn't order through your link. BUT, I ordered 4 batteries and adapters. 😎👍. Another great video! Good job keeping up, Abby.

Great video and great plane. Thank You 😊

So happy to see Horizon Hobby offering an aerobatic micro again! purchased.

Looks like a cool little plane. I haven't flown an R/C in a while. Looking forward to more great videos from the Saylors! Hoping will pickup a little r/c plane soon!

Kinda early squad where you guys at happy flying all 😎😎😎😎⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

Its super fun on 2s too. I have the original release version and its my all time favorite RC plane over 30+ other aircraft. It has a huge flight envelope and is a strong stunt plane. Its a perfectly balanced fun flyer.

I am getting back into rc. Bought the umx timber evo and p51 based off your videos. I now have to add this to the list. Thanks for all the videos.

Quick tip to help protect against the "uglies" (scuffs/dings). Get a bottle of clear Gorilla Glue and a pack of cheap watercolor paint brushes from your local dollar stote. Brush a thin coat of the glue on your spinner, wingtips, and across any parts that have the potential of popping off (wheel pants mounting surfaces as an example on this plane). I have done this with my UMX Pitts, Air Tractor, and Gee Bee... I have a wing-over probably every 3rd landing with the UMX planes, have not scuffed ANY foam or paint since doing this protective coating. Flying mostly scale, I generally get 10-15 minutes each battery before Cell voltage drops below 3.8v.

You made it look so much bigger in the thumbnail!! 😂

I got one from watching 👍..you guys are awesome 👍 I only buy after checking out your videos 👌

It's been a long time since I've seen a Pitts in person, last time I saw one was May of 2019 in Atlanta.

Wow, Surprised by how fast and agile this Biplane is.. looks fun! I would hand launch it and land it in short grass so you wouldn't possibly scratch it up. Thanks for the sweet video!

I'm going to be buying this...

I have to have this!! I love my UMX planes. Fits in the back seat and can fly about anywhere. Def getting this (with your link of course)!!! P.S. I finally flew my V900. About 20 packs now. What a ripper!!

15:40 Thumbs up Abby!

That thing is so small and so beautiful, you wouldnt think it could fly like that. I think ive found my dream machine other than the Draco but this one I can afford. Wow Im getting excited about flying again. This thing is perfect for me. Ill see if I can afford it right now! THANKS!

An amazing looking and flying UMX! Happy flying! 🛩

I have an original UMX Pitts and love it. It's quick even on the original 2S and way too much fun to fly. Great video!

Yay! You finally got it! 👍😁

I’m definitely getting one. I have the 850mm and the fms biggie as well. The 850 on 4s is beast and this one is so like it. The fms feels too sluggish with the engine it has so I’ve read some mods that have been successful for it and give it unlimited vertical so a project coming up foe me. Thanks for the review on this lil guy, I’m sold.

If I wanted to keep flying it I would have to do 2s or buy another one. LOL

Now you have convinced me to buy this and start flying again I haven’t flew a r c plane for about 15 yrs

I need that plane 😎

Just got mine in the mail and got a new spectrum DX6e radio..I got it to bind easy 👍 & it flies awesome.. I've been waiting for a plane like this for a long time.. thanks for your amazing videos guys 🤟 keep up the good work and safe flying 👌

I’ve been waiting like two months for this video

That's awesome 🔥

Amazing little plane...👌

Bi-plane week maybe...??? ⚓️

many of the planes you review require a radio, a battery and a battery charger. isn't there something like this on the market that is ready to go out of the box?

Got one can't wait to fly it ...

Love it!! I just picked one up over the past weekend!! They fly so so well!! 3S all day!! It will do whatever you want it to do just like a big plane like you said Nate! Love your channel and awesome video! Happy Flying!

$500 with everything but I was smiling as I watched it fly

I'm in. I was worried the LVC was going to initialize. Thanks for the review!!!!!!

Perfect size! Is this a good first plane?

Nate, if safe isn't assigned to your favorite switch, why don't you reassign it? And most, if not all, aerobatic biplanes have ailerons on both wings.

My UMX Pitts arrived last Sunday. Like Nate, I was champing at the bit to get this one. After the February expected arrival date passed, I was checking most every day to see if it was in yet. Of course I was on the email list. And I had the money set aside. What I'm saying is I didn't have a decision to make when it became available. I was stalking it. :)

Sold me. Mines on the way. 3S baby!!!

Great flying Nate! Im ordering one!

Impressive amazing duration. I have hobby king pitts only a little bit bigger with an up rated motor. It's 3s 1300 I have enough power for aerobatics with 5min duration, but it no where near on that extreme performance. Did ears deceive me or did you say could do with a little expo! lol when i first watched a few years ago you didn't like it now you've been drawn to the dark side lol. I know its just experience so models need it more than others. Keep it up you two v entertaining

Cool little plane, nice review......

Got mine and mistakenly ordered 2S batteries (they're going back tomorrow) and flew with one today. You're right. The plane flies great but definitely underpowered. Can't wait for my 3S now.

2S is for my granny. 3S is for Abby!

Love the little plane, hate the whiny sound of that motor!

Sweet airplane..nice video. I really like UMX airplanes. I had my 10 year old Eflite Sbach out yesterday. Only 2S but really rips

Yayyy

This channel has got "The Best Camerawoman in the Business." (Don't "Loan her out" to Alec Baldwin.)

Still waiting for mine to be delivered. FedEx shipping sucks!

I found one on eBay for a decent price, but it was the old one that only works on 2S. Went ahead and found the 850mm big Pitts to experience 3S and 4S.

Love this pitts!! Hope they never stop making it. Can you put a 3s battery in the previous brushless version?

Great video. Just added this one to my wish list. Question, will a 3s 850 mAh battery work in it also?

Hi, does this Biplane work with a Spectrum DX6i...thanks.

I’ve been flying this plane but only in safe mode because when ever I turn off safe mode, it struggles to turn for some reason. I’ll bank it to the left and then pull down on elevator (bank and yank) but it climbs vertically instead, unlike other planes I fly. Is there any way you recommend to turn this plane?

Well I bought this plane but after watching this video I had to go back and buy some 3s batteries. Daddy wants to go fast.

Hey guys been in RC'S for 30+ years started with RadioShack Cars an Trucks then got a CLODBUSTER and was hooked Crawlers , Basher, Boats. Thinking about trying a plane love the old Navy Corsair I seen you fly do they make a good beginner in that style or even that UMX BIPLANE what do you suggest ?! Love watching yall it's refreshing to see someone that just enjoys the hobby!! Also what's a good controller for first timer

Blast it! Now I gotta add a Pitts to the hangar. Nate, will you help me expand my hangar? After all 2 vipers, a marlin, 3 mustangs, an fw 190, a spitfire, a corsair, and you made me buy every one if them. Its all your fault that there ar 37 planes needing berthing space. Thank You from the bottom of my 💙 for that. Mat God bless you both, and keep on!

Will this plane be able to use the same batteries that I have for my UMX Turbo Timber? Thanks.

I bought the UMX turbo timber today. After flying it, and then watching this again, I regret my purchase.

For you a umx the pitch’s are good

Outstanding shipmates. Press on. USS Kitty Hawk. CV-63 Jan 1980 to July 1983. Rc`er for life.

Any plane that $150 or more, better fly good. $100 plane's will fly good but $150 and up better fly good.

Would this be a good beginner plane or should I look at their warbirds the e-flite

Well done Abby with the video footage ✅😉

👽 vid. probed thx.

Any change to prop on 3s?

Hi RcSaylors, I think, that there might be one more thing, a beginner would like to know about: For the 1 s batteries, which are often used in connection with UMX planes are special chargers available. The storage charge of every LiPo battery is, as far as I understand, 3.8 volts per cell. But the available chargers for the 1 s batteries, which I know, do not indicate, when the storage charge of the battery has reached 3.8 volts. To check it out, I'd plug the battery into my model and then check the status of my battery on the screen of my radio. Am I correct? I don't have at the moment access to my radio or models and therefore I can't check it out, only guess it.

Will it take off on a rough aria?

I personally wouldn’t call spek radios universal since they only work with spek hardware/protocol. Still I’d say the easiest set up and will miss. Moved to a tx16s max. Spek is just to expensive plus I needed ELRS. Your video on the pitts was amazing just like always. Can’t wait to fly mine. I have (2) 350 2s and (1) 250 3s. Hope to get more 300mah 3s if I find it to fly great and not be enough capacity

I used to fly 10 years ago trainer planes and plan to get Real Flight software to freshen up. I'd love to have this little biplane to fly in the field by my house. I know you guys are big fans of the eachines P-51 even for beginners. The new Pitts version now has SAFE mode. Other than having to come in a little hotter if I'm landing in Safe mode is that much more difficult than the Eachine p-51?

I have 30 or 40 planes and still can't fly worth a hoot. LOL

What camera are you guys using?

I wrote a long comment about the cost of Transmitters vs. Cost of the plane... I deleted it to write this instead... As someone who has very limited cash to spend on my hobby of choice, the prices are getting insane, it does NOT make sense to by a Nx6 or Nx8 when there are fully RTF models out there for less than the sum of both the Tx and a plane like the two shown here. These 'cheaper' planes need to have RTF options... even if it adds 50 bucks to the cost. Companies are pricing enthusiats out of the hobby. I understand that not everyone is poor, but being poor shouldn't mean someone can't enjoy their hobby. There are too many elitists in this hobby who would make you think you are stupid to buy RTF models, which is sad and wrong. Not saying that you guys or any viewers here are, but this hobby gets more toxic by the day it seems lately, and companies are only making it worse by pricing out people who've invested a lot of what they've had, if not thousands like some have. Great looking plane, sad to know I'll never have it though.

Will this be good for a first plane? I'm not so big on the planes that look like gliders or would I be better off going with a e-flite warbird

my dad has this he let me fly it (big mistake) and i crashed it lol

Nate how do I buy from Horizon and link your channel to make a purchase. Only I have been watching you on RU-vid for a few months now and you have got me bugged on the hobbies. Not that I know how to fly yet.

Can I bind a dxs spectrum controller to this airplane?

Now how long before it get discontinue i like m'y umx beast just cant Find new batry This company should seriously think about pilots able to use plane for a long time without crashing and wy no more balsa plane ?? I stil fly m'y 250 piper cliped wing also discontinued we nead parts suport for mutch longer

Does I come with a controller or is it just the plane

I never get these planes because the transmitter is so expensive

Where do you locate the battery?

Who knew you could put a motor & propeller on a candy🍬🍬 cane 🦯🦯 & it could 🪰 🪁. Very nimble little flying machine. Fly or do not fly, there is NO panic.
