Dom (Essential RC) Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Personally, the Stearman is mine. Love the way it is slow, stable and graceful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bowker Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 For me the original E-Flite UMX Extra 300 3D is still my indoor favourite, despite it being easily prone to damage (not so keen on the newer version with AS3X) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Putley 1 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I think that the UM Xas3X is a super little model. Just a shame it cannot be had with a brushless setup. The little Spit is also an amazing aircraft, carries a surprising amount of speed for its size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Read 2 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The Mig 15 always puts a smile on my face. The B17 is growing on me now I use better batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom (Essential RC) Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Agree with AS3Xtra is amazing but that brushed motor means the model has a finite life. Replacing the motor isn't easy. Not sure I'd fly the MIG15 indoors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eamonn Fahey Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Of all the UMX models I have flown (Beast, Mig, Extra, Habu & Pitts), the Pitts S1 was the best. Edited By Eamonn Fahey on 05/01/2016 20:54:59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaunie Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I have only had the one, a micro Stryker, huge fun but you need really twiddly fingers to keep up with it! I called it Tyson because it's nose had been broken so many times. I had so much glue on the front I had to put five Grams of lead at the back and cut the back out of the battery bay to move the battery back to get a decent C of G. It finally died with 27 hours on the accumulated timer. I saved the Rx/Esc and servos and put them in another model, value for money I'd say. Shaunie.

buster prop Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 One UMX I really like flying is the T28 Trojan, mine eventually got noisy because of worn reduction gears so I transplanted the motor and gears out on my old (non A3SX) Mustang. Given it a new lease of life! I also have the new UMX Mustang with AS3X and that flies fast and as though its on rails, super little plane (I love Mustangs). The T28 though is fun for throwing about, does great stall turns and will loop after a short dive. In a wind it needs rapid finger work on the Tx with no AS3X.

Dom (Essential RC) Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 +1 on Mustangs but you must have flown that T28 a heck of a lot to wear those gears out! My models don't normally last that long. Crash them into a wall looong before that would happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster prop Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yes Dom, the T28 has been flown quite a lot. Mainly outdoors so it hasn't hit walls but has had a few impacts with fences, trees and the ground. My Mustang has only been flown outdoors, it's a bit fast for indoor flying.
