E-flite RC Airplane UMX Night Vapor RTF to Fly is Included with AS3X and Safe Select EFLU1300

I've been flying RC aircraft for over 50 years and wanted a small and slow aircraft that I could fly in my backyard while relaxing in the evenings with a cool beverage. The UMX Night Vapor fit the bill perfectly. It's very easy to fly, even for a new comer with the built-in stabilization. The stabilization can be turn-off for that more spirited pilot. When flying outdoors, best to fly when there's little to no wind, since this lightweight aircraft can easily be blown into the trees. The plane can be flown indoors, but unless the plane is flown in a large area, such as a gymnasium, maneuverability will be limited. Durability is good, however if you fly the plane into an hard obstacle at maximum speed, it will break. Also, handle the aircraft gently - it's delicate. Keep the original eFlite box for storage. Setup was easy, charge the battery, insert battery into aircraft battery holder with hook and loop (Velcro), turn on the transmitter, plug in aircraft battery and fly. The hook and loop attachment for the battery can sometimes let loose, so a small hook and loop tie wrap is more useful. YMMV

I haven't flown an R/C plane since 1989, but I managed to fly this little thing a few times without breaking it. I bought a 200 MAH battery for it, and used it for its first flights. It seemed heavy and needed lots of throttle to fly level. This got it going faster than I'd like in my small yard and I hit a tree one time. The landing gear popped out on one side but was undamaged. If you're out of practice, use the safe mode and a 70 MAH battery, and take it to an open area. It will be fun re-learning how to fly. I gave it 4 stars because it is terribly fragile. Priced a tad high. also. edit: the 200 mah battery I used affected the performance, with the included battery or better still, a 70 mah battery, it flies very well. Their are repair parts available, so I raise the rating to 5 stars. Not for rank beginners, but an extremely fun plane.

Right out the box it was ready to go. You should probably invest in a spare prop. Amazon offer a prop for the previous version and the UMX Night Vapor version and both are equivalent and will work just fine on the new UMX version. Not made for ANY wind so be prepared for this. Otherwise this thing will lower your blood pressure it is so relaxing!! It can take some abuse so dont be fooled by its dainty size. I would recommend this plane.

Like other said, in normal flight the battery fell out and snapped the super tiny wires connecting the battery to the ESC. Couldn't be fixed. I bought another one, taped those wires together AND put a little velcro around the battery. That kept it from falling down, but it's so light that slight amount of tape and velcro threw off the center of gravity. So I figured I'd remove that, and while gently taking the velcro I snapped one of the teeny plastic frames for the elevator. Super glue didn't fix it. Junked it. Moving on to something else. The first day I had it, it was a blast. Second day a little wind and not a lot of fun.

This is my first indoor plane and I like it alot. It can fly very slowly, and has dual rates to make it even easier to fly. Comes assembled, charge battery and go. Reasonable value - I would recommend it for that purpose. I think it would have a hard time flying in any wind.

Almost everything is great. Be nice if the tape holding down the packing was a different color so I could cut it before pulling on the plane. My main gripe is the Velcro holding the battery is very weak. To the point that after launch it falls out moving the center of gravity and causing the nose to point straight up. Need to correct this.

This plane is very lightly built. The only problem I noted is that the velcro that holds the battery comes loose easily. Save the box for storage and transport. When you fly it, you want very calm conditions.

Bought this for my son and now I want one for myself! Super easy to fly with the stabilization on, yet with a flick of the switch you can do some pretty impressive maneuvers for 3 channel slow flyer. Flight time is great, but I picked up a couple 200mah batteries for even longer sessions. Very happy with this purchase and it's totally worth the price.

Great for indoor flying in the local arena, during the winter months. Keep the stick time up to date. Great deal on a ready to fly RC airplane. Stable, easy to fly and lots of fun.

Careful, you might crash it!! Great flyer if you have enough space and there is absolutely no wind.

This flies quickly and handles nicely, but unfortunately the most likely part to hit first, the propellor, breaks the engine off too easily.

So much fun but need zero wind if flying outdoors

Paid for a brand new plane, got somebody's broken return. Returned.
