This thread is to talk about the new E-flite UMX B-17. I have posted some videos below of the plane to get us started.
One of them is an Unboxing, Near Crash Maiden Flight, and Review of the E-flite UMX B-17G Flying Fortress WWII Bomber with AS3X Technology. The other is just the Maiden Flight footage.
I literally open up the box and describe what I see, like, and dislike about the planes. I also demonstrate a number of things as well, but of course you have to watch the video to see and hear it all.
Not only that, I included an exciting Maiden Flight. I expected to fly a slow scale plane and have it be a relatively boring experience. Well, that wasn't the case at all! Right after take-off there was a near crash and I will let you watch the video to see the rest.
Here is a summary of the review notes from the video:
Cons
- Very thin rudder
- Brushed motors
- Not much power
- Very out of trim elevator
- Hard to install landing gear
Pros
- Nice details
- 4 motors with scale props
- Fits in box for easy storage and transport
This is the complete unboxing, maiden and review:
