GREAT video Brian and camera crew / Wifey. I destroyed my first one out of stupidity. Just did the maiden on my second one. Bought this for when the wind is stupid crazy and 90 degrees to the runway. It loves the wind, and will land at your feet. I have mine set at 12 minutes with a 3s 850 battery.. got to love it.
I just got mine!!!...only problem is I had my right hip replacement the same day...:( but what a motivator to get my butt a movin' again! see ya on the flight line!!!
WOW! Hope you're up and running again soon! I hear people get wheeled out of surgery, and basically set out of the bed and asked to go home anymore!!!! I've heard as soon as the SAME DAY!?!??! Here's to a speedy recovery Robert! You've got a plane waiting!!!
At 3:32 when he goes into a spin into the ground in states that he “basically tip stalled” it. it did not tip stall he used the rudder stick and with differential instead of a regular rudder the differential stopped one motor and spooled the other one up to yaw the plane.but he used to much rudder input to completely stop one motor which put it into a spin if he used a little bit of rudder input one motor would spool up a little higher than the other and turn the airplane like using a regular rudder. If you slow down the video you can see one prop completely stopped and one spinning.
Love this plane! Thinking of getting one and making a version with propeller props. Seems like the ultimate plane once those props get covered up to avoid scalping people when things go wrong.
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes indeed that autocorrect makes my dyslexia seem like nothing lol 😂! Totally a typo. Yes prop guards would be ideal! When I fly my mini drone I sometimes worry I may scalp myself if I am not extra careful so I never fly around anyone. Luckily on my drone the mantis 85 the props are super short but on a plane ✈️ with my skill level I feel like It would be like flying a chainsaw across a field. I can’t get enough of your awesome videos guys! Really brightens my day!
This plane goes with me everywhere. It’s my warm up plane to get my head and my hands wired together. I’m on my second one as I wore out the first one. I have 82 hours flying this thing according to my DX9 lol I will never not have one of these. I have even bought a backup for my backup Ultrix lol
@@BrianPhillipsRC yeah, Michael Bare asked me one night on a zoom as I was fly under the lights at Birmingham RC club how many hours I had flying it. I had 72 hours and That was back in late April lol No joke this is my favorite plane. I totally zone out flying it lol
Honestly I was hoping they just up-scaled the first one, this one does indeed seem a lot more stable and less insane. For a non-scale plane like this, I think I prefer the insane version, and the red is easier to see too.
More moment arm = slower reactions so not much you can do about larger planes being slower to react and compliant maneuvers. My main complaint is E-flite should not have left out the rear lights in the light upgrade kit!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Me too. I tried the 600mm and kept the 342mm. Much more crazy insane fun and will virtually do anything you tell it to. My vote for the little guy! 🙂
I absolutely love this Delta. If H.H. came out with one slightly larger, with steerable landing gear, they couldn't make em fast enough to keep up with the orders. Guaranteed.
It would be crazy on my wallet! LOL! I have too many hobbies now. I really shouldn’t buy another plane this season. Hoping to get another quarterly bonus to buy this plane. Wish I was made of money, but I’m not. We are a single income home. Wife hasn’t worked in years and years. She watches our grandkids for our youngest of our 4 kids.
Connect 2 of the 850's together single file in the bay. Looks like plenty of room, wonder if it could handle the weight and increase the time a bit more? lol
Finally got out to fly this thing.... wow.. its amazing even with a Runcam on top its absolutely agile and aggressive... Umx ultrix is a fun bird to fly, the 600mm is equally amazing...
@@matthewsafaie4183okay. A few years later.. I am running FPV with a dji set up. Using a 3s 2200mAh battery that has the balance leads connect to the camera receiver Running about 15-20 minutes on flight times All is recorded on my FPV Playlist Best fpv fixed wing for close flying. However if you're looking for longer distance flights, you'll need something with a better flight range antenna
@matthewsafaie4183 after a long time I did manage to fpv this and it's amazing I used a ballance connection from the 3s 2200mAh I was running and it was awesome 👌
IMHO: Biggest improvement from the UMX Ultrix (which I have with the LED kit) is the 3S battery with the much better IC2 connector (and I have the UMX A-10 which also uses these same G2 batteries) and the BALL BEARING equipped brushless motor. Nice to have wheels as well this time around.
AGAIN!?!??!?! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay, here's a trick - watch this A-10 video and see what I would do... th-cam.com/video/2LAvniyOksY/w-d-xo.html Sorry they're out again, John!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I'm guessing it would take some electronics engineering skills, but probably wouldnt be that difficult since it just requires two wires on the engine to swap on command. Since the Draco and others are doing it its definitely doable
Thanks Robert! We really appreciate you doing what you can, but we still think the best way is buy from the links. You'll help us with a few cents of commission from the sale of the stuff, and clout with the manufacturers too...all the while, you don't pay any more, and get RC points, or miles on your CC or whatever deals you can work out ;) Either way, thanks again Robert! We're so blessed to have such a great, supportive audience here on TH-cam!
SWEEEET! Johnny just told me something SUPER helpful!!! See below... For anyone reading this, this is how you can change back to the LEGACY Keyboard... Click the scroll bar, into Function List Scroll down to System Setup Confirm Yes to D/C RF Scroll down to System Settings Scroll down to and click NEXT into EXTRA SETTINGS Scroll down to KEYBOARD: ( 3 Options Below ) 1) Legacy (This is what we were used too) 2) Rapid Board (NEW Style I hate - LOL) 3) Swift Board (NEW Style I hate - LOL - I featured this one a few times but will hopefully never see it again) Thanks Johnny!
Depends on if I had the gear in or not. This was an "early sample" too, so yours might be lighter... if it's NOT...just take off some stuff ;) LOL It's right on the line
Does the NX8 save you trim adjustments for the model it’s in? Or if you adjust the trim say for this plane, are they all screwed up when you go to fly something else?
Have the UMX Ultrix and love it. Most of my flying is in SAFE. Also have the AreoScout 1.1, UMX Turbo Timber. My problem, which should be my next plane, Ultrix 600 or the UMX A-10?
@@BrianPhillipsRC Sorry, both the A-10 and the Ultrix 600 mm use the 850 m amp 3S with IC2 plug, while my umx ultrix uses the 800 m amp 1S with red JST connector. So either way I end up with new battery size and connector by buying either. I 'm trying to decide what to buy with my skill level "low". Do I go with the one I feel more comfortable with the Ultrix 600, or be daring and go to EDF A-10.
Yeah I've been in to him to do the 520 I'm trying to learn to fly and I thought I was progressing OK but if these thing fly different from planes then I'm not progressing after all
They are both very fun, but I must say, if you're going to buy this or the small one (UMX) have you considered the TWIN OTTER UMX - It's a scale LOOKING plane with almost as much performance. I just prefer a PLANE looking plane ;) ...BUT to answer you directly...they're both a BLAST, but the UMX is easier to fly in a tight spot. Ultrix bit.ly/3Ohv7Dm Twin Otter bit.ly/3PMVFxD
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yes, I've seen the TO UMX, but I'm looking at the Ultrix for crazy wild stuff, non-plane like. 🙂 I've enough planes for now, a Eflight Commander 1.4m mPd and a T-28 Trojan 1.2m.
Honestly, I think I followed the instructions for this one, due to the flight, but I apologize, I can't remember. If it happens on the video, that's what we did. We're very careful to actually film all the steps, even if we make a change, but I have a hard time remembering.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hi Brian, thanks for coming back to me, my question when setting up the Ultrix 600, should i also make the DR/Expo changes to both the Elevator & Aileron. The rudder i wont mess with as i think its set by the flight controller.
Differential Thrust is when one motor turns faster, and the other slower to induce yaw. This plane has differential thrust, but when I was getting confused about it at the beginning, I was at low to no throttle, where differential thrust isn't always setup to work...and I didn't know for sure (yet) - but now it's clear.
Mr Phillips!? I’m so close now!!! Horizon sent me a new motherboard and everything is working ASIDE from the throttle now. The throttle is sending the plane backwards now. I tried reversing the throttle but that didn’t work correctly. I tired binding again a million times. The propeller’s are moving the wrong way. Do I just swap the sides of the propeller’s? They move so fast that I’m only 90% sure about what way they are each spinning…?
Three ways, and you need to figure out which one works, since I don't have enough information to tell you... 1) Swap motors...left to right, right to left (This might not be possible) 2) Swap any two of three wires going into each brushless motor (This might not be possible) 3) IF props are mounted backward - flip them around (This might not be possible) I'm not 100% sure all the details of your situation, so keep in mind, one of these three should get you where you need to be, but I'm not privy to all the details.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you sir! You’ve been more help than anyone else. Super shout to camera crew also. Y’all are my go to for sure… so detailed! I found out quick in this hobby it’s important lol. It ain’t much but my next plane bought is through y’all link…. Truly appreciate y’all time!
Between this and the new Eflite Eratix 3D flat foamy, which one do you like better and would actually buy for yourself? I have the Eratix on backorder so who knows when those will come in. I started looking at this Ultrix 600 to have in the meantime because I want something wacky and weird to fly. So, I'm wondering if I should just get the Ultrix 600, too. It's not THAT expensive. LOL
The Ultrix is a totally different flying experience, but not like a PLANE...so kinda apples to oranges. Eratix bit.ly/3O0n0g9 Ultrix bit.ly/3Ohv7Dm I would lean toward what you want for flying in winter (Assuming you're in North America)...either would be doable in a gym, or "out front"...just don't get in trouble by some Karen.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Sorry about this ;( I know there are some that make the mark, and some that miss due to the cost of the trip over the pond, but I truly wish you could have one ;(
You are very kind & a good youtube friend Brian. I feel part of the family separated my a few miles. I have the FMS Ranger 850mm arriving tomorrow plus the new NX10 ( selling my dx6 & keeping my dx9) then there is the Draco ordered in early March to hopefully be here soon. I then rewatch your full video’s to get the build hints. Greetings to Megan & boys.
Hey Mr phillips. Big fan of both you and your wife. GREAT channel!! For 3 months I’ve been trying to figure out how to get my ultrix OUT of LVC mode. I can’t bind it to my NX8. I have a red flashing light and have tried everything! (Everything recommended in the manual along with emailing customer support). Just hoping you have some inside info on what might be the problem. Thank you sir!
Is you battery fully charged???? This can cause the plane NOT to bind! Check, even if it's OVER-Charged, I wonder if this might be a problem. Have you gone WAAAAAY over to the other side of the room and tried??? Do that next! Sometimes that'll do the trick. Also, sometimes, when I have a troublesome binder - I'll BIND it to another Tx, then go back to the ONE I really want to bind it too. I realize these solutions might not be the trick for you, but sounds like you've tried all the usual suspects.
Thank you very much Mr Phillips! I haven’t tried the two transmitter binding route. I’m gon try that! I actually took the board out of my 30mm warthog and put it in the ultrix. But now it doesn’t give me the differential thrust. You happen to know if those can be programmed to another type of plane? The boards are identical to one another. (Thank you so much for the response bruh, I truly wasn’t expecting that very detailed message back to me, y’all are fu***** awesome)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I've never had a vtol that flies like a plane".. Gday Brian. I just wanted to say that it flies very similar to the 520, except the 520 has another flight function where it can vtol but other than that I was really hoping it flies like a plane cause I'm using the 520 to learn how to fly. But listening to you if these thing don't fly like planes I really need another trainer
I still don't have the 520, and on TWO different occasions it was shipping....and something came up and never made it here - what a mess! The other VTOL's we've had have been great, and REALLY cool though...but this is more of a plane that does cool things.
@@BrianPhillipsRC gees we've caused somewhat of a descuss ion about these vtol things. You know Brian I just want to know if by flying the 520 I. Learning the skills I need to fly other models. Or if it's so far disconnected to how a plane actually behaves then I want to know so I can move on to appropriate trainers. That's all. So yeah I was wanting your opinion there Brian so if need be I will bloody send you one
Personal preference I am more of an airplane guy but it does look fun. For that price I would buy the T 28 or the valiant. That being said great video✈️👍👍
Brian, I watched your video last night on the EC-1500 and I am having the same problem with the motor controllers. You describe in the video how you reset them to sync correctly but you did not finish your instructions. Turn plane off, high throttle on transmitter,turn plane on, this is where you stopped the instructions. What else? Your description of Wonkie is correct, My ec-1500 just does not fly right either, where it actually does things that scare me. Make you very tense to fly it. I also had the parachute guy like you use hang up on the door linkage but the chute came out and open. The plane did not want to fly very well. I had to keep power on when landing to get it from stalling but it still did about 3 foot of the ground. I did seem though you got it flying ok at the end... Thanks for any help you can give. Do you ever export your transmitter configuration files for a model once you get a plane flying correctly and let others use them. Thanks again
The reason I stopped talking about syncing the ESC Throttle Ranges, is because we were done at that point...(I think)... As for the video, you gotta watch the whole thing. I find some mistakes I was making, and fixed them.
It has some of the same flight modes and characteristics of the XD X450 and the JJRC M020 VTOL's like the one you reviewed back awhile in the snow it amused you and your wife and myself, and it prompted me to get one well two actually as it would be when, not if I crashed it well I still have both one has a few battle scars the XD one the JJRC IMHO flies better, so maybe this one is the next level for me and build up to something like the Draco lol.
I agree, those choices are very cool, and GREAT, but fly more like a VTOL, and this one flies more like a plane. When you fly one, you'll see what I mean ;)
What kind of a instrument. to check a modular battery. I bought a Firefox C.129 helicopter. back in February of 2021 and have been trying to find something that would give me a reading of 3.7,{ storage charge} when the helicopter. is to set for a while or 4.2 for a fully charged battery. I. bought a multimeter but am not. not having. To much Luck with even that. Can a modular go bad just from setting around. These modular do not have 2 wires coming out of the end. of them, one to charge the battery up . And the other one to balance each. cell in the battery weather. It be. 3 cell, 4 cell, 5 cell or so on
I'm not sure what your asking Daniel. Are you asking how to check the voltage of a lipo? XBC Checker & Servo Tester bit.ly/3e8mnA6 Voltage Alarm amzn.to/3mza2Z2
Yes Brian. make sure the battery is 3.7 if it is going to set for sale while and 4.2 for s full charge. Thank you for answering me so quick If I. have anymore questions. can I. ask you. I am 72 years old, I do not know if I started to late in life to start this hobby.
Hi Brian, the brushless HZ Delta Ray still is the best in this size category. We fly it meanwhile with powerful 2205 2300kv motors (500 Watt each). Unfortunately HH continues to produce garbage in this size range. The Ultrix or Delta Ray One are no replacement for the original DR. Brian, you had a lot of good videos of the original DR at that time.
@@BrianPhillipsRC The Ultrix should be as large as the old DR. With flying weight below 250g it’s just too small. Only a fun plane, but 1206 motors are not durable as 2204 or 2205 motors. Also registration is easy.
@@davidgerlach1132 But still all pieces are available. I fly the DR now for 12 years. It is the most robust and most fixable rc plane ever build. Try 2205 2300kv motors on 4S.
@@Maerklin_Sam Understood. I wish EF still offered the F-27 Evolution. It's in the SIM RealFlight Evolution and kicks butt super-fast too. I'd love this little delta, but I fly the snot out of my little Ultrix and I'm sure its big brother will be added soon.
Very cool I can't believe they XK JJR Vtol drone things have went up to over $170 I remember when they were $100 Wish I would have got one back when you reviewed them lol Nice flying Brian Awesome job as always Camera 📷 Crew 🔥👍✌️ edit Glad ya checked on your Beaver mount Nothing wrong with giving ya Beaver a good examination Ya wouldn't want it to explode on ya lol
I get it totally Tim! I'm a lot like that too, but being we work with Horizon and other companies, we try to review whatever is new, since this helps us to reach a wider audience, and plus, since I started doing this, it has really broadened my horizons with WHAT aircraft I really do enjoy! ...BUT, like you - Scale planes are for me ;)
Brian! when you said delta ray, it reminded me of how i discovered you a few years back! do you still have your delta ray, and would you guys ever do a "revisited" video where you talk about that project of modding it, what you learned, and fly it at your new place? i'd love to see it!
We fly the brushless DR now for 5 years. Best are the 2205 2300kv motors. You have than similar power to an EFlite F-15. It’s a super solid plane and can be flown for years, whereas all the other models of that size easily break down. Ultrix or Delta Ray One are not a substitute. I give the brushless DR a rating of 10. The others may be rated 3 to 4 out of 10.
@@Maerklin_Sam nice! thank you for letting me know which motors you are using. which ESCs, props, and batteries are you pairing with those motors? i was flying my delta ray tonight, but as usual i only find it lacking in power- it flies amazing! do you have a build thread or any videos of how you modified yours to brushless power? i would love any info you have :)
@@incubrian Motors: 2x Rs 2205s 2300kv, 2x ESC’s Hobbywing Skywalker 40A or Cheaper: 2x Qwinout 40A, Props: 5.1 x 4.6 with 3 blades. Receiver: Lemon Stabilizer Plus or Admiral Stabilizer Plus. Emax 2205 motors and ESC’s are also as cheap combos on Amazon available. Have fun. It costs a bit, but you will have an everlasting plane.
No, and I'm sorry John...that was a bit of a miss on my part. I could and should have, but just honestly didn't even think to try the 2200....which is a LOT more popular size. I'm 100% sure it would work, but might need to be RAMMED all the way in...
Of course it does, anyone that has a basic understanding of physics or aerodynamics would have figured that out instantly, I can't believe how long he struggled with that notion.........Or just RTFM, how can these be sponsored "influencers" promoting the brand without doing their research on the product first? SMH
@@BrianPhillipsRC Why didn't you just read the manual? I get it.......its easy to slip up and say 1 or 2 things incorrectly, especially if you are talking and flying (concentrating) but you struggled with this one for several minutes. Didn't you tell the RC Saylors they need to have a thick skin? I may have been harsh, but I stand by my comment. People look up to you, they parrot everything you say, whether it's right or wrong. You are a well respected "influencer" and almost a household name when a new product is announced, they look to your channel first. I would think you would want to be thoroughly familiar with it and provide accurate descriptions.

Hi Brian, Thanks again for another great review. Question on those G2 battery packs. Looks like you're really getting some good long flight time out of them. are you really getting about 15 minutes of actual flying? I have some 850 mah packs from Amazon. I only get like 5 to 10 minutes. I may pull the trigger on some of the G2s
FMS BEAVER!!!! Do I get my gold star? I pretty much wrote this plane off when Horizon sent me an email about it. But, I've got to admit that you make it look tempting. And, by the way, I like you and Megan's humor. (please don't stop) As always, thanks much for sharing. Steve
Well if I hadn’t already an UMX Ultrix, I would still go with the smaller one. I don’t really see what’s the point of this plane, it’s the UMX with all the good stuff removed: Cheap, cheap batteries, pizza box for transport, take it everywhere, toss it like you want, ... At no point I thought it’s too small or under-powered. In the 200$ price range (not talking about acquiring those new batteries), there is so much better to do with your money. Sorry Horizon but UMX Ultrix is too good. Instead they should brought back the UMX Beast. (I know they cannot satisfy all the customers and I am a painful one).
I'm bummed you feel this way, but I understand. You might have noticed I asked for a Carbon Z Ultrix - which would have skipped the middle step...and for shier insanity reasons, would be awesome, but I have to say, if you don't have the Ultrix UMX, and don't have "young" eyes...this plane will have a niche - people who want to fly the UMX but can't see the dang thing - LOL ;) Either way, I hop you get a chance to fly one some day. It is very fun, but you already know this if you have the UMX Ultrix.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you for taking the time to answer as always. :) Totally agree about how hard to see the UMX in a cloudy day, but now I enjoy it in small spaces and hover it around trees trunks. And for sure an «Opterra sized» Ultrix would be totaly insane, that would be something ! I wish good luck for the 600mm, because the Ultrix is a great design for sure and it deserves success.
you have a point . Had bought one to keep my ultrix hours up to date whilst my umx ultrix is being serviced for a bad motor . it suffers in portability (£200 plus yet your don’t get a carrying handle!) and battery choice which is very limited !
Second thoughts...? Ma'an... why cant they make a 4s 1.1m version? Come on, you know i am right Brian.. the ultrix is the only airplane that you can throw like a Frisbee, then activate the throttle and it will just fly... Amazingly awesome plane
Wow like the color blue and white it looks pretty good
I agree, looks great!

Honestly I was hoping they just up-scaled the first one, this one does indeed seem a lot more stable and less insane. For a non-scale plane like this, I think I prefer the insane version, and the red is easier to see too.

It sure is!!!
Hey just curious what runcam and transmitter did you run if you dont mind me asking? Also did you use a power port on the plane or a small 1s?
@@matthewsafaie4183okay. A few years later.. I am running FPV with a dji set up.
Using a 3s 2200mAh battery that has the balance leads connect to the camera receiver
Running about 15-20 minutes on flight times
All is recorded on my FPV Playlist
Best fpv fixed wing for close flying. However if you're looking for longer distance flights, you'll need something with a better flight range antenna
@matthewsafaie4183 after a long time I did manage to fpv this and it's amazing
I used a ballance connection from the 3s 2200mAh I was running and it was awesome 👌
What a fun little plane ! Very easy to set up and fly. We REALLY need a larger one. HORIZON make a Carbon Z Ultrix please
It sure is! Fun and CRAZY...can you imagine a 2m version - That would be insane and awesome!
IMHO: Biggest improvement from the UMX Ultrix (which I have with the LED kit) is the 3S battery with the much better IC2 connector (and I have the UMX A-10 which also uses these same G2 batteries) and the BALL BEARING equipped brushless motor. Nice to have wheels as well this time around.
Sure!
Cool Bri! Looks like a fun one.
totally fun!
Battery adapter is backorder for mid to late August
AGAIN!?!??!?! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, here's a trick - watch this A-10 video and see what I would do... th-cam.com/video/2LAvniyOksY/w-d-xo.html
Sorry they're out again, John!!!
Adapter is shipping, now waiting on the plane
9:55... what was that...lol 😂
The Frisbee maneuver.
Very fun ;)
You need to set up thrust reversing to get a really good frisbee spin going that adds lift
How do you do this???? I want to know NOW ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I'm guessing it would take some electronics engineering skills, but probably wouldnt be that difficult since it just requires two wires on the engine to swap on command. Since the Draco and others are doing it its definitely doable
Full rudder (L/R) with full throttle and you've got the pinwheel from hell!
Can you fly this Ultrix with the DSX radio?
I don't know for sure. You might need the mixes to make it work. I'm sorry I can't say for certain Jeff!
Swivel front gear like the UMXish V22 would be nice...
That would be cool!
Just ordered this one using your affiliate link to continue support for the channel. ✌🏻😎
Awesome thank you so much!!!
by the way THANK YOU SO MUCH for your setup video's they are so helpful I will find a way to donate!
Thanks Robert! We really appreciate you doing what you can, but we still think the best way is buy from the links. You'll help us with a few cents of commission from the sale of the stuff, and clout with the manufacturers too...all the while, you don't pay any more, and get RC points, or miles on your CC or whatever deals you can work out ;)
Either way, thanks again Robert! We're so blessed to have such a great, supportive audience here on TH-cam!

@@BrianPhillipsRC AMAZING THANKYOU
Hey Brian, with battery, is this under the 250g weight limit?
Depends on if I had the gear in or not. This was an "early sample" too, so yours might be lighter... if it's NOT...just take off some stuff ;) LOL
It's right on the line
Love the video but to do a corn roll just full power and full rudder/ differential thrust all u have to do
Doesn't stall right to make it work well. Sure you can make the sticks go in those positions, but the plane just flies too dang good - LOL!
I have not recieved a new model since the UMX version. So I forgot how to setup the transmitter (haha) :D Your video helped. Thanks Brian (y)
SWEET! More UMX action coming VERY soon ;) Hope you'll check it out!!!
Does the NX8 save you trim adjustments for the model it’s in? Or if you adjust the trim say for this plane, are they all screwed up when you go to fly something else?
The trims are saved for each model.
Hi.Great flying.I have the old dx8.I cant set it up in meny,is it possible?Regards from Norway
Should be no problem...Should setup almost exactly the same as we do with the NX6 or NX8 now-a-days.
I have an NX8… any other suggestions that can get me in the air?
Did you get the motors moving the right direction?
I purchased mine through here.
Thanks bcflyer99!!!
2:51 "if you build it, he will come"
LOL ;) Glad you caught that !!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC great videos.. can't wait for mine to be shipped..
Totally jealous
Hey Brian, what are these like in the wind? and do you have to configure the TX or can you just bind it and go and fly?
I suspect they'd do okay sub 15 mph, but I have little to no interest in flying this plane in higher wind.
Have the UMX Ultrix and love it. Most of my flying is in SAFE. Also have the AreoScout 1.1, UMX Turbo Timber. My problem, which should be my next plane, Ultrix 600 or the UMX A-10?
A-10 - same battery at the UMX that way ;) A10 bit.ly/2P1i286
@@BrianPhillipsRC
Sorry, both the A-10 and the Ultrix 600 mm use the 850 m amp 3S with IC2 plug, while my umx ultrix uses the 800 m amp 1S with red JST connector. So either way I end up with new battery size and connector by buying either. I 'm trying to decide what to buy with my skill level "low". Do I go with the one I feel more comfortable with the Ultrix 600, or be daring and go to EDF A-10.
Do you have the UMX Ultrix? If yes, which flies slower, the UMX or the 600?
I do, and good question...I can't say for sure...they're both "hover-able"...so 0 MPH for both makes your question a bit hard to answer ;)
Great review of an awesome airplane ❤️
Thanks Glen!
Like My XK 520 . The way it hand launches . Can taxi my XK !! Brian exlain how to change a motor???
Yeah I've been in to him to do the 520 I'm trying to learn to fly and I thought I was progressing OK but if these thing fly different from planes then I'm not progressing after all
How do you change a motor on this, or any other plane? It's not hard. Not sure what you want me to tell you???
Do you enjoy this 600mm more than its little brother at 324mm?
They are both very fun, but I must say, if you're going to buy this or the small one (UMX) have you considered the TWIN OTTER UMX - It's a scale LOOKING plane with almost as much performance. I just prefer a PLANE looking plane ;)
...BUT to answer you directly...they're both a BLAST, but the UMX is easier to fly in a tight spot.
Ultrix bit.ly/3Ohv7Dm
Twin Otter bit.ly/3PMVFxD
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yes, I've seen the TO UMX, but I'm looking at the Ultrix for crazy wild stuff, non-plane like. 🙂 I've enough planes for now, a Eflight Commander 1.4m mPd and a T-28 Trojan 1.2m.
When you set the rates, you only did aileron, does this need to be applied to the elevator too?
Honestly, I think I followed the instructions for this one, due to the flight, but I apologize, I can't remember. If it happens on the video, that's what we did. We're very careful to actually film all the steps, even if we make a change, but I have a hard time remembering.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hi Brian, thanks for coming back to me, my question when setting up the Ultrix 600, should i also make the DR/Expo changes to both the Elevator & Aileron. The rudder i wont mess with as i think its set by the flight controller.
Camera Crew was Funny today. I feel Older
Thanks Roger!
A great review guys…. It will be a while though before it is available here.
This is such a bummer!!!
Great job, thank you guys :-)
Thank you G Bro!
It turns without a rudder?
Differential Thrust is when one motor turns faster, and the other slower to induce yaw. This plane has differential thrust, but when I was getting confused about it at the beginning, I was at low to no throttle, where differential thrust isn't always setup to work...and I didn't know for sure (yet) - but now it's clear.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Oh ok. It's like a car axle then. Haha. Like a "differential"
Mr Phillips!? I’m so close now!!! Horizon sent me a new motherboard and everything is working ASIDE from the throttle now. The throttle is sending the plane backwards now. I tried reversing the throttle but that didn’t work correctly. I tired binding again a million times. The propeller’s are moving the wrong way.
Do I just swap the sides of the propeller’s? They move so fast that I’m only 90% sure about what way they are each spinning…?
Three ways, and you need to figure out which one works, since I don't have enough information to tell you...
1) Swap motors...left to right, right to left (This might not be possible)
2) Swap any two of three wires going into each brushless motor (This might not be possible)
3) IF props are mounted backward - flip them around (This might not be possible)
I'm not 100% sure all the details of your situation, so keep in mind, one of these three should get you where you need to be, but I'm not privy to all the details.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you sir! You’ve been more help than anyone else. Super shout to camera crew also. Y’all are my go to for sure… so detailed! I found out quick in this hobby it’s important lol.
It ain’t much but my next plane bought is through y’all link…. Truly appreciate y’all time!
Between this and the new Eflite Eratix 3D flat foamy, which one do you like better and would actually buy for yourself? I have the Eratix on backorder so who knows when those will come in. I started looking at this Ultrix 600 to have in the meantime because I want something wacky and weird to fly. So, I'm wondering if I should just get the Ultrix 600, too. It's not THAT expensive. LOL
The Ultrix is a totally different flying experience, but not like a PLANE...so kinda apples to oranges.

I would lean toward what you want for flying in winter (Assuming you're in North America)...either would be doable in a gym, or "out front"...just don't get in trouble by some Karen.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks! Yeah, I'm in Utah, so North America. LOL
Just ordered the smaller one. Did I hear you mention you're from Central Iowa? I grew up in State Center :)
Very cool! Yes, central Iowa not too far from there ;)
I put a 3s 1300 in this plane and it fly's great and for like 15 minutes scale and 10 minutes ripping it.
Here in the uk, its £240 ! Really for a pallette stretched micro with no rudder servos and no included flight battery? Would have said £180
Sorry Ben!!!
AUD$400 for the Ultrix or AUD$410 for the Conscendo. Ultrix looks a bit over priced to me.
Can i bind this plane to my DXS transmitter
Arrives in Australia 26th of July but at a premium price (almost double of the cost in the USA) So for A$400 I will give this a miss Brian.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Sorry about this ;( I know there are some that make the mark, and some that miss due to the cost of the trip over the pond, but I truly wish you could have one ;(
You are very kind & a good youtube friend Brian. I feel part of the family separated my a few miles. I have the FMS Ranger 850mm arriving tomorrow plus the new NX10 ( selling my dx6 & keeping my dx9) then there is the Draco ordered in early March to hopefully be here soon.
I then rewatch your full video’s to get the build hints.
Greetings to Megan & boys.
I just got one of these and am only getting 4 to 5 minutes flight time on the same 3 s 850 smart battery..any ideas why?
Throttle management??? Battery placement will allow for slower flight...maybe try that?
I watched this video and pre-ordered one. It is a hoot to fly. Totally responsive. (yes, it has differential thrust)😜
Totally!
Hey Mr phillips. Big fan of both you and your wife. GREAT channel!!
For 3 months I’ve been trying to figure out how to get my ultrix OUT of LVC mode. I can’t bind it to my NX8.
I have a red flashing light and have tried everything! (Everything recommended in the manual along with emailing customer support). Just hoping you have some inside info on what might be the problem. Thank you sir!
Is you battery fully charged???? This can cause the plane NOT to bind! Check, even if it's OVER-Charged, I wonder if this might be a problem.
Have you gone WAAAAAY over to the other side of the room and tried??? Do that next! Sometimes that'll do the trick.
Also, sometimes, when I have a troublesome binder - I'll BIND it to another Tx, then go back to the ONE I really want to bind it too.
I realize these solutions might not be the trick for you, but sounds like you've tried all the usual suspects.
Thank you very much Mr Phillips!
I haven’t tried the two transmitter binding route. I’m gon try that!
I actually took the board out of my 30mm warthog and put it in the ultrix.
But now it doesn’t give me the differential thrust. You happen to know if those can be programmed to another type of plane? The boards are identical to one another.
(Thank you so much for the response bruh, I truly wasn’t expecting that very detailed message back to me, y’all are fu***** awesome)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"I've never had a vtol that flies like a plane".. Gday Brian. I just wanted to say that it flies very similar to the 520, except the 520 has another flight function where it can vtol but other than that I was really hoping it flies like a plane cause I'm using the 520 to learn how to fly. But listening to you if these thing don't fly like planes I really need another trainer
I still don't have the 520, and on TWO different occasions it was shipping....and something came up and never made it here - what a mess! The other VTOL's we've had have been great, and REALLY cool though...but this is more of a plane that does cool things.
@@BrianPhillipsRC gees we've caused somewhat of a descuss ion about these vtol things. You know Brian I just want to know if by flying the 520 I. Learning the skills I need to fly other models. Or if it's so far disconnected to how a plane actually behaves then I want to know so I can move on to appropriate trainers. That's all. So yeah I was wanting your opinion there Brian so if need be I will bloody send you one
Can I charge the g2 smart battery with my venom charger?
You aren't supposed to do it, but if I were on a desert island, I could make it work ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I see that's alright I can return it hahaha thanks for all your help

LOL - YEP
Hi Brian, are you aware of any better after market props that will work on the Ultrix 600
Brian, I watched your video last night on the EC-1500 and I am having the same problem with the motor controllers. You describe in the video how you reset them to sync correctly but you did not finish your instructions. Turn plane off, high throttle on transmitter,turn plane on, this is where you stopped the instructions. What else? Your description of Wonkie is correct, My ec-1500 just does not fly right either, where it actually does things that scare me. Make you very tense to fly it. I also had the parachute guy like you use hang up on the door linkage but the chute came out and open. The plane did not want to fly very well. I had to keep power on when landing to get it from stalling but it still did about 3 foot of the ground. I did seem though you got it flying ok at the end... Thanks for any help you can give. Do you ever export your transmitter configuration files for a model once you get a plane flying correctly and let others use them. Thanks again
The reason I stopped talking about syncing the ESC Throttle Ranges, is because we were done at that point...(I think)...
As for the video, you gotta watch the whole thing. I find some mistakes I was making, and fixed them.
It has some of the same flight modes and characteristics of the XD X450 and the JJRC M020 VTOL's like the one you reviewed back awhile in the snow it amused you and your wife and myself, and it prompted me to get one well two actually as it would be when, not if I crashed it well I still have both one has a few battle scars the XD one the JJRC IMHO flies better, so maybe this one is the next level for me and build up to something like the Draco lol.
I agree, those choices are very cool, and GREAT, but fly more like a VTOL, and this one flies more like a plane. When you fly one, you'll see what I mean ;)
What kind of a instrument. to check a modular battery. I bought a Firefox C.129 helicopter. back in

do not have 2 wires coming out
of the end. of them, one to charge
the battery up . And the other one
to balance each. cell in the battery

Hi Brian,
the brushless HZ Delta Ray still is the best in this size category. We fly it meanwhile with powerful 2205 2300kv motors (500 Watt each). Unfortunately HH continues to produce garbage in this size range. The Ultrix or Delta Ray One are no replacement for the original DR. Brian, you had a lot of good videos of the original DR at that time.
I totally think this plane is way cooler than the Delta Ray, but if you could get a RTF for cheap, I'd still want brushless motors, these days.
@@BrianPhillipsRC The Ultrix should be as large as the old DR. With flying weight below 250g it’s just too small. Only a fun plane, but 1206 motors are not durable as 2204 or 2205 motors. Also registration is easy.
The HZ Delta Ray is discontinued quite some time ago. I personally think the UMX Ultrix and the 600mm are much cooler and more fun.
@@davidgerlach1132 But still all pieces are available. I fly the DR now for 12 years. It is the most robust and most fixable rc plane ever build. Try 2205 2300kv motors on 4S.
@@Maerklin_Sam Understood. I wish EF still offered the F-27 Evolution. It's in the SIM RealFlight Evolution and kicks butt super-fast too. I'd love this little delta, but I fly the snot out of my little Ultrix and I'm sure its big brother will be added soon.

I can't do this type of plane it's not scale my passion in rc flight is real warbirds prop or edf, butt watching you fly this is very entertaining 😉👍🛩
I get it totally Tim! I'm a lot like that too, but being we work with Horizon and other companies, we try to review whatever is new, since this helps us to reach a wider audience, and plus, since I started doing this, it has really broadened my horizons with WHAT aircraft I really do enjoy!
...BUT, like you - Scale planes are for me ;)
Brian! when you said delta ray, it reminded me of how i discovered you a few years back! do you still have your delta ray, and would you guys ever do a "revisited" video where you talk about that project of modding it, what you learned, and fly it at your new place? i'd love to see it!
We fly the brushless DR now for 5 years. Best are the 2205 2300kv motors. You have than similar power to an EFlite F-15. It’s a super solid plane and can be flown for years, whereas all the other models of that size easily break down. Ultrix or Delta Ray One are not a substitute. I give the brushless DR a rating of 10. The others may be rated 3 to 4 out of 10.
@@Maerklin_Sam nice! thank you for letting me know which motors you are using. which ESCs, props, and batteries are you pairing with those motors? i was flying my delta ray tonight, but as usual i only find it lacking in power- it flies amazing! do you have a build thread or any videos of how you modified yours to brushless power? i would love any info you have :)
@@incubrian Motors: 2x Rs 2205s 2300kv, 2x ESC’s Hobbywing Skywalker 40A or Cheaper: 2x Qwinout 40A, Props: 5.1 x 4.6 with 3 blades. Receiver: Lemon Stabilizer Plus or Admiral Stabilizer Plus.
Emax 2205 motors and ESC’s are also as cheap combos on Amazon available.

AWESOME!!!
Did you try a 2200 or 1300?
No, and I'm sorry John...that was a bit of a miss on my part. I could and should have, but just honestly didn't even think to try the 2200....which is a LOT more popular size. I'm 100% sure it would work, but might need to be RAMMED all the way in...
It’s amazing I like it I have the little brother but I will think about it 👍
If you like the UMX, this plane is a lot more capable, but still just as agile. So much fun!
Has differential thrust
Of course it does, anyone that has a basic understanding of physics or aerodynamics would have figured that out instantly, I can't believe how long he struggled with that notion.........Or just RTFM, how can these be sponsored "influencers" promoting the brand without doing their research on the product first? SMH
Jim - Yep, sorry about that at the beginning. I should have known better, but didn't.
Brian Brotherson - You obviously want to pick a fight...so let's GET IT ON
@@BrianPhillipsRC Why didn't you just read the manual? I get it.......its easy to slip up and say 1 or 2 things incorrectly, especially if you are talking and flying (concentrating) but you struggled with this one for several minutes. Didn't you tell the RC Saylors they need to have a thick skin? I may have been harsh, but I stand by my comment. People look up to you, they parrot everything you say, whether it's right or wrong. You are a well respected "influencer" and almost a household name when a new product is announced, they look to your channel first.

Hi Brian, Thanks again for another great review. Question on those G2 battery packs. Looks like you're really getting some good long flight time out of them. are you really getting about 15 minutes of actual flying?
I have some 850 mah packs from Amazon. I only get like 5 to 10 minutes. I may pull the trigger on some of the G2s
Yeah, or longer. I can't believe how long the flight times are. I was flying the Beaver on 7000mAh 6S 30C the other day for almost that long!!!
FMS BEAVER!!!! Do I get my gold star?
I pretty much wrote this plane off when Horizon sent me an email about it. But, I've got to admit that you make it look tempting.
And, by the way, I like you and Megan's humor. (please don't stop)
As always, thanks much for sharing.

What is a corn hole?
A trick he made where you you push all sticks to top right
@@nolacross704 So a shoulder roll. Not a maneuver he made.
@@austinbrotherson792 idk but he will tell you what it is
It's not anything I made up...I knew it HAD to be something already, but I just called it the "Cornhole"... thanks for understanding.
Well if I hadn’t already an UMX Ultrix, I would still go with the smaller one.
I don’t really see what’s the point of this plane, it’s the UMX with all the good stuff removed:
Cheap, cheap batteries, pizza box for transport, take it everywhere, toss it like you want, ... At no point I thought it’s too small or under-powered.
In the 200$ price range (not talking about acquiring those new batteries), there is so much better to do with your money.
Sorry Horizon but UMX Ultrix is too good.
Instead they should brought back the UMX Beast. (I know they cannot satisfy all the customers and I am a painful one).
I agree
I'm bummed you feel this way, but I understand. You might have noticed I asked for a Carbon Z Ultrix - which would have skipped the middle step...and for shier insanity reasons, would be awesome, but I have to say, if you don't have the Ultrix UMX, and don't have "young" eyes...this plane will have a niche - people who want to fly the UMX but can't see the dang thing - LOL ;)
Either way, I hop you get a chance to fly one some day. It is very fun, but you already know this if you have the UMX Ultrix.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you for taking the time to answer as always. :)
Totally agree about how hard to see the UMX in a cloudy day, but now I enjoy it in small spaces and hover it around trees trunks.
And for sure an «Opterra sized» Ultrix would be totaly insane, that would be something !
I wish good luck for the 600mm, because the Ultrix is a great design for sure and it deserves success.
you have a point . Had bought one to keep my ultrix hours up to date whilst my umx ultrix is being serviced for a bad motor . it suffers in portability (£200 plus yet your don’t get a carrying handle!) and battery choice which is very limited !
I agree the cheap box/carry case is a real down grade but was happy to see a 600mm version for longer flight times FPV... and a smaller brown bag;-)
Cool =)
Thanks!
Second thoughts...?
Ma'an... why cant they make a 4s 1.1m version?
Come on, you know i am right Brian.. the ultrix is the only airplane that you can throw like a Frisbee, then activate the throttle and it will just fly...
Amazingly awesome plane
FRISBEE?!?!? AWESOME - Gotta try it now ;)
kinda expensive if that matters??
Cost ALWAYS matters, but welcome to the beginning of inflation ;) YIPPEE!
