Putting the UMX Conscendo in the #1 spot is a no brainer! I love that plane!

If you remove the motor and put a small battery where the motor was to get proper CG, it makes a crazy fast slope soarer.

Wish Eflite would come out with a UMX T 28 WITH Lights and flaps

Love the list, my only changed would be too put the Evo in number 3/4 slot and bump everything down behind it. I have all on the list except for the new Glider. Bro, I do love the UMX planes, allows me too fly anywhere!! Thanks for the video!

I agree with everyone of your picks. Great job.

Great video. I agree, my first umx is also the CONSCENDO umx.

The UMX Radian was my first plane. I still like to take it out in a stiff breeze and surf.

The UMX Conscendo would be my number-one pick as well. I had it up for 45 minutes at the beach slope soaring. It's an awesome slope soarer. It was so good that I bought a second one, removed the motor, and put a small battery in the front where the motor was to get proper CG and slope soaring.

What cg is preferable for sloping?

Fun to watch your video, and before watching … I had just ordered Your # 1 choice ! Thnx.

Good choice!

Love the video. It is such a tough call to choose which one is better. They are all great airplanes. I have all the same ones you do, and I think they are all fantastic. If I had to choose, I agree with you and many others. The UMX Conscendo is currently number 1.

I have flown all but the Waco, Conscendo, and P51. You really made me wanna get the Conscendo now. Great video! The UMX planes are just the best. I hope to have them all eventually. Right now my favorite is the Pitts. But it goes back and fourth depending on what I'm flying. Recently had some fun with the old citation. I hope that comes back.

I agree. I have planes of all sizes, and I think that the new, 3 cell, UMX planes fly so well that they are all a person really needs. especially the Conscendo. It is the best flyer of the bunch.

I just did a flight comparison of the Conscendo, Evo and the new Micro Draco, and I would put the Conscendo at the number one position as well. Not only does it fly well under power, I was able to slope fly it with decent wind and stayed airborne for 40 minutes with 75% battery remaining. The Evo was getting bumped around in the wind, and the Draco just felt heavy and clunky compared to the Conscendo.

Very good list. I will agree with you about your #1 choice. It’s a very good plane with a wide flight envelope.

Congratulations, nice video! If I had done it myself, based on my experience, I would have put timber evolution in the top positions.

Thanks, I like the larger version of the timber evo.

They did a great job on The umx conscendo putting 3S in that plane just made it awesome so fast so agile and it just flies so good It actually flies better than the full size conscendo Definitely a good choice for your #1 👍🏽👍🏽

I agree and stay tune I am doing a speed test today with 4s! I did a video on 3s interested to see how much faster I can get it. Video should come out in the next few days if I find time to edit it.

I don’t know if you are aware that if you apply 75% Expo on the Twin Otter Rudder it will fly like a four Channel plane and for ground movement you can do figure eights easy. With the expo being that high the motor slows down instead of stopping without no expo. Try it you will like this UMX a lot more. 😅

Good comparison video. 👍🏻🙂

All awesome planes. Nice collection!

Thanks I appreciate it!

with a max. weight of 249g, these UMX must fight winds, still a great option for those who do not want to enter the 250g + RC plane category for known reasons. These are fun to fly and do require the admin to get them in the air legally.

I fly my Pitts in 20+ mph winds and it's no problem, great little airplane

great lineup!

To me its my Twin Otter. So much fun with just 1s

Some of those that take 3s are even more fun on 4s . And yes the esc and motors can take it

Very nice collection.

Based on the many UMX reviews I've watched and considering my own experience I expected the EVO to have been rated higher. I do believe that the WACO will be my next UMX purchase.

@bgblindt

I like the EVO but for how I like to fly not my favorite. Don't get me wrong it's a great plane just not my go to fly and that is why I rated it so low.

I just got the Pitts S1S, wanted the WACO, but the price was too high. My favorite UMX is the Turbo Timber Evolution: lights and capability, land anywhere, do anything and hover.

How dare you? 😁 My list is different than yours and I love this video! Well done.

I do not own one wish I did.

I respectfully disagree . LOL Good video . these lists do well . To me , the UMX planes have always been interpreted as a SHOWCASE model . Similar to a the Kyosho Mini Z , A very high quality , high performance miniature version of larger popular models . I have many myself , I like being able to fly them anywhere . Its hard to pick a top one or favorite . I think that opinion depends mostly on your style .

I really enjoy the UMX airplanes but I'm not a fan of the foam used to make them

The umx concendo can easily glide for 30 to 60 minutes if your riding thermals

Why do people think gliders need wind???? Only slope soaring gliders use wind to stay aloft. The rest like the radian use thermal lift which is easier to find and stay in the calmer it gets. The windier it is the more all thermal gliders suffer.

Thanks for the video. I've looked at all of these planes and will probably buy the Voodoo next. So many of these planes have obvious flaws. First, they're all made out of EPS foam. This is the least durable foam on the market. Horizon Hobby charges premium prices for their planes, but they make them out of the worst foam available. Second, many of these planes have their battery located in the forward fuselage, beneath a hatch which encompasses half the diameter of the fuselage. How could you make the forward fuselage any weaker than by making it out of EPS foam and removing half of the fuselage structure? Mounting the battery further back in the fuselage and not removing half of the fuselage structure to access it, would make these planes way less fragile. The Voodoo is a fairly durable design. Note it's battery bay location and design. Alternatively, the Air Tractor, Timbers, & Waco are all fragile, in comparison. Third, why didn't they put the same motor in the Pitts and Timber X that is used in the Voodoo, Air Tractor, and Turbo Timber? The Pitts and Timber X are obnoxiously loud, while the Voodoo, Air Tractor, and Turbo Timber are blissfully quiet. Fourth, I didn't truly know what a terrible sounding airplane was, until I heard this UMX A-10. Why, just why? Fifth, all planes should have rudders. How are you going to recover from a spin, without a rudder? How are you going to do a crosswind takeoff or landing, without rudder? How are you going to do a snap roll, without rudder? Sixth, why do so many of their planes, when new, have servos that stick and cause a crash. And regarding these faulty servos, why is their warranty support so inconsistent? On a more positive note, I will say most of the Horizon Hobby planes look good and fly great. I just wish they'd fix their flaws.

Which plane is best for a beginner?

For UMX planes I would say Radian or Turbo timber evolution.

@alexandernentwig9596

For a real beginner, I wouldn’t recommend any of these planes, but rather the UMX Ultrix, just because of the material. This is EPP foam and way more forgiving on a crash while all of the others are out of EPS - stiffer but way more brittle. One rough landing and it will break. The Ultrix can break too, but it takes much more for this to happen and it is usually super easy to glue and restore it using a hot glue gun or foam tac. Start from there and when you mastered the speed, coordination and orientation, buy one of the more beautiful ones. (Honestly, when in the air, pretty much every plane is looking great) The Conscendo is probably the perfect successor then, because you CAN fly it very slow. As a beginner you will still be overwhelmed from the almost ridiculous speed on full throttle. But there are ways to limit the power. 😊

To learn to fly, you really want the Sport Cub S. Small, forgiving, cheap to repair or replace if the worst happens. Learn with 4 channels. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dpmAw8yynbKbqcY.html. Or learn with 3 channels on a UMX radian.

My white UMX Radian flew off into the white sky never to be seen again now I have a bunch of little batteries and no plane to use them in
