I'm so disappointed the UMX version has no ailerons. They could have easily made it brushless added ailerons and kept it under 250g. 😥 Call me a Whambulam!
Honestly, if I were dreaming up a UMX SUS, that would have been it, too. However they went a totally different route here, which I guess was fine, also. The last ultra micro they came out with was the UMX Vapor I believe, so there’s been a lull for that class of airplane. Maybe that’s why they went this route? 🤔🤷♂️ Either way, I love the bigger SUS for $199.99 minus however much because of whatever points I have accumulated 👍💯😎😁⚓️
I love rudder elevator setups like the little one and the little radian as well. They have their place. I do need an indoor plane. Winter is on the way soon in South Dakota. I bought a Chinese “Ice Cream” that arrived non-functional. So this would a more quality replacement. Or the night vapor.
@@TheRcSaylors I get it, for someone getting into flying or still learning, taking it out of the box and flying quickly it’s okay priced but I come from the world of helis and being in the hobby for 20 years, that being said you could build something better performing for the same price. Plus I’ve seen the same style of plane for $139-149 this just has the horizon tax lol
Thanks! It’s a smooth, pretty predictable flyer and just has this “floaty” aspect to it. This plane definitely flies differently than most that I own, and it certainly looks different, too!! I keep it for those reasons, and obviously it’s insanely fun and the price point is nice because it means I can be a little more brave with it. 🙏👍😎💯⚓️
Enjoyed your review of these 2 planes. The micro UMX stick is a good first try. However, I think a better pick to fly would be another micro stick plane that comes equipped with all the bells and whistles and comes in a great color (red or brown). Check out RageRC for their Micro Vintage Stick X4 RTF with PASS, all for around 100 bucks that has full flight controls and runs on an included 1s 400mAh JST battery. I would love to see you do a review on this micro stick plane.
She said she wanted to try this plane again which gave me an opportunity to fly my old but very fun Slow Ultra Stick and I’m so glad we went out to do this! Fun!! 👍💯😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors that’s awesome and beautiful weather too eh my friends it’s been raining 🌧️ here in Canada but at least it’s hot outside still 😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️
Today is actually the first rain we’ve gotten in Months!! We are in a record setting drought right now believe it or not. It only rained for maybe an hour, if that but wow we needed it. All grass is 💀 and many small trees are starting to hit that level too, as well as flowers and shrubs. Lots of brush fires lately too. Hoping you get some nice weather soon my friend! ⚓️
Very good take off Abby. Ya both flew great. Abby you forgot to see 👀 if your mini me > will it snap < mini deserved to have a go @ it.😊😊. Maybe next time. ⚓️⚓️👍💛🧡💚👍👀👍⚓️⚓️.
Good to see Abby getting some more stick time. I want one of those lil guys..I like em both really. Too bad the smaller guy's a little pricey. 6:42 Not unlike "Launchfidence", I think you should trademark "sportrainer" too. Yeah, I liked that bigger one the day it came out..
What is it that you like so much about the NX7? You seem to use this particular TX a lot. Ps. Love to see comparison videos. And ... love, love, love, seeing Abby on the sticks. 👍😊
I wouldn’t say that I love it, but have been testing it thoroughly since its release on day one! It has some pros and some cons though, and I’d be willing to bet that I have more flights on this transmitter than anyone else in the world, lol! I’m hoping to do a short video on it soon-ish. 😁👍😎💯⚓️
I should probably turn that off. It is however, on by default. I assume you mean the beep that happens when I either go above or below 30% throttle? 😅⚓️
No code for it, it’s just $199 BNF at the regular price which is awesome! However if you buy it using our link, not only do we get a small kick back, but you earn points on the website which will discount your next purchase!! 👍💯😎🙏⚓️
I own a first release vapor. It doesn’t have any safe or self leveling on it, but it flies incredibly smooth. I can even fly it outside in a gentle breeze. It actually is a little more fun to fly it in a gentle breeze. Looks like this UMX can handle a little bit more wind. These make great trainers. Things happen very slowly and it’s a good for your coordination when the plane is coming or going from you. They are tough planes. I have yet to buy a prop for mine and I’ve nosed it in a number of times. My recommendation is that you buy a lot of batteries so that you can just unplug and plug in a new one and you’ll have a great time.
The Vapor is more expensive. Any good reasons to justify the higher cost? Wait, I see I was looking at the Vapor RTF vs UMX SUS BNF. Well, I still wonder which one to get to try to fit in a small backyard.
@boomupengineering both you can fly indoors but the vapor has lights making it easier to fly later and even at night with low lighting. The umx stick does have a foam wing making it more rigid but the vapor is easier to fix wing damage.
In all fairness, they did make a Habu that is technically a trainer, yes. I think it was basically their first EDF trainer ever, and the beautiful thing about it, is how slow and stable it flies. While it might not be the best trainer in the world, it’s certainly the best EDF trainer and definitely falls safely under the “trainer” category! We’ve done a few videos on it and it totally checks out! In fact, a couple of our good friends have made that Habu trainer a part of their early RC flying learning experience and love it!! 👍💯😎⚓️
Yes, it would be really nice if the small version had ailerons too. I know what they were going for here on this, which is very nice for casual indoor flying. However I’d have loved to see something higher performance in the UMX family. I’m sure a lot of people will buy these that live up north and fly indoors year round though. 👍💯😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors I bought a used one but haven’t flown it yet. I ordered that red foamie Abby had so much fun flying today. I have about 55 planes but always looking for new stuff. lol. Love your vids.

You are 100% right! But the whole point of the umx version is to be super light weight and fly slow. Sort of like the night vapor.

Yes, just like UMX timber X got flaps, and everything and is the same price so I feel you on the ailerons

Sux from the price. Not worth it. Buy a vapor.
Insurance is a scam
$200 for a stick with wings is crazy.
And a motor, and an ESC, and all the servos (all of which are already perfectly installed) and a receiver. 😁😎💯⚓️

If there were a brushless SUS with ailerons between the UMX and full-size plane in terms of size, it would be perfect.
Take a sports cub anyday over the ultra stix
test
Nice flights! They fly nice and slow too.
Thanks Dark!! 🙏👍💯😎⚓️
Nate I really like how the larger version is so airpobatic you make it look so easy

Nate, you're camera work is getting better man. But, Abby's multiroll fest with that umx slow stick was amazing!
Ailerons which is why I'd never buy the umx version
A other awesome 👏 video always good seeing Abbey flying again 😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

Oh no!!! We forgot!! 😬😅💯⚓️
Thanks ‼️
I love my Eflite SUS put lights on mine looks coot
Which lights if you don’t mind me asking? I’d love to add lights to mine! 👍💯😎⚓️
Great job! I going to get one for my birthday! 👍
Awesome Randy!! Happy Flying and Happy Birthday!! 👍💯😎⚓️
Yes, I think it looks cool and I love the history. How is a remake from back in the day that’s pretty cool.
I self taught myself to fly on a simple stick plane over 15 years ago so they will always be part of my small collection of planes 😎
I just ordered the Rage R/C - Vintage Stick X4 Micro RTF Airplane with PASS System. Comes with everything and it's full 4 channel control.
only good for indoors lol...
I mean, we flew it outdoors just fine but it would be pretty perfect for indoor flying if a person had enough space to open it up!! 👍💯😎⚓️
Good to see Abby getting some more stick time. I want one of those lil guys..I like em both really. Too bad the smaller guy's a little pricey.
6:42 Not unlike "Launchfidence", I think you should trademark "sportrainer" too.
Yeah, I liked that bigger one the day it came out..
Can you bind the transmitter from the small blue one to the larger one?
Great job guys!

What transmitter were you using?
Looks like an nx7e
Great FUN flying!! Thanks Saylors!! 💟👍😎
Absolutely!! Uploading a video now that I think you will appreciate more than our usual airplane content 😉👍💯😎⚓️
Nice! New version of the Ember. Loved that plane!!
Yeah! It’s a great little indoor flyer, or something small for a calm day of relaxing flying. 👍😎💯⚓️
Not worth it for the price. $100 plane at best
I loved the video thank you beast person ever❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can't believe the money they're charging for these crude stick and foam board planes.
I think it’s more about the electronics than the foam, but I could be wrong! 👍💯⚓️
That darn radio beep is so annoying!!!!!
I should probably turn that off. It is however, on by default. I assume you mean the beep that happens when I either go above or below 30% throttle? 😅⚓️
Coupon code for the larger slow stick?
No code for it, it’s just $199 BNF at the regular price which is awesome! However if you buy it using our link, not only do we get a small kick back, but you earn points on the website which will discount your next purchase!! 👍💯😎🙏⚓️
The full sized STILL isnt worth the cash however at $40 more than the umx its well worth it just for the ailerons.

For the price it sux. Its a foam board vapor.
Buy the vapor and save your cash.

Wasn't the EFLITE-SS-HABU EDF 200$? And that one is "technically" a trainer? 😅
