I saw Horizon's promo for this linked on their Facebook page this morning, and was surprised by the price point on it. I really expected it to be more, with being a twin motor model. Doggone it, Horizon! That's another plane I want for my hangar!
Hey, loved those two shots... the one with the full scale and the other with the squadron of geese. In the air it does look a bit bigger than what you'd expect seeing from a UMX. Rolls way nicer than my UMX TT.
That was an awesome video!! Looked like so much fun flying around. Great maiden flight and video! Well done! The plane, moon and geese shots put a huge smile on my face!! All came out perfect! And great timing on the time you filmed it. Started with some light and then the lights worked perfectly as it got darker.... just really well done. Oh, looks like a fun plane, too!.
Wow, that is a nice small twin-engined plane! I was lucky this summer to see a Royal Canadian Air Force Twin Otter in the Search and Rescue Yellow with Red highlights livery. It was funny. After it's flight, it taxied over to the parking area, then pulled up in front of it's parking spot and then did their after landing checklist. While they were doing this, the airshow gathered a bunch of ground workers to push the plane back into it's parking spot...but just as they were approaching the plane, the engines left the idle and powered up and the plane started backing up by itself...using it's variable pitch props to give it reverse thrust. That's an important feature when landing on non-improved short runways! Very cool!
I haven't bought a plane in a while. Got off on a ground vehicle kick for the last couple months. Got the Grave Digger (Axial SMT10) and several WLToys 124016/7 cars (two for me, the rest for gifts). Saw this little beauty in the email today, immediately checked for a video from y'all. This will be my next RC. I have 5 or so 500mah lipos (1S, 30C, JST) that I got for the original Ultrix. I bet they'll work in this. After Christmas. :)
Very nice Otter 🦦. Looks good, flies snappy, & good lights. The hypno propellers help hypnotize the geese 🦆🦆to follow you. Good flying & videoing. Take care Saylor's 👍👍.⚓⚓👍💜💛💚👍🦦🦆➡️🦦🦆➡️👍⚓⚓.
Lovely video and fantastic flight... I can't order through your link here in the UK sadly but will have to add it to the hangar....they are knocking it out of the park with umx this year..... hope you have a very happy Christmas and New Year.
Your two are great! Thanks so much for making these videos, very impressive and informative. I will be watching all your videos and I would be happy to use your links to buy any airplane I go with off of your recomendation. It would be my pleaseure to help support you and your family in making these amazing videos!
OMG. Thanks so much for reviewing and flagging this one up. Had been hoping UMX were going to release an Otter. Shame it's a bit late for the Christmas list. This looks like it flies great too and has plenty of power, even though it's only on 1S. This is going to be awesome on UMX floats and maybe snow! If I can get one, planning to paint up in British Antarctic Survey orange/red colour scheme. No losing that against the snow or sky. 😎My vintage UMX Mosquito could do with updating with some modern internals like this too. Any chance of an updated version Horizon? Seasons greetings from the UK. 👋🎅
Thats so freaking cool! I love umxs as they are much more convenient to fly in my area. My fave is my little osprey but this is really a eye catcher with the twin engines!
My 1.2m Twin Otter is my favorite plane to fly off water. I just might have to pick up this Tiny Twotter to see how well it compares in float configuration.
Thanks Bradley! You absolutely rock for the support, and I am 100% sure you’re going to love this! Maybe their best plane of the year!? Awesome price, scale, super agile, the lights, tech packed, cheap batteries… the list goes on!! 👍😁😎⚓️
I've read a lot on the forums of people chasing the best props for the ultrix and no one has reported trying the umx twin otter props so I gave them a try and I got way better performance
I wanna get more planes in the future but the ones you see in the sky that does drop water or red retardant. Make it fun for people and firefighters to learn and get a perspective on what’s happening from the sky.
Looks awesome, it lands and stays there, no bounce! Was also wondering about it being 1s but that looks like it has plenty of power. Oh and how much was left in that pack after 8 min in the cold?
They were pretty smooth weren’t they 😉 I think I got lucky, but this thing is a smooth, scale flier and looks great too! Nice that you can go wild with it if you want as well. Thanks for watching!! 👍😎⚓️
Well, I absolutely love the UMX Ultrix (even more than the bigger one ) so I take it you’re saying that I would really love this? I haven’t flown anywhere near the amount of planes that you have but the Ultrix is by far and away the most fun thing I’ve ever flown. You’re tempting me guys 😎
It doesn't come with a transmitter. It has a spektrum receiver, to which yo need to bind a compatible transmitter. It's on Horizon Hobby's website if you want more details.
I just want to buy the UMX Beast again... Such a great plane. Or the UMX P51, or the UMX Habu, or the UMX GeeBee... I don't know why they discontinue such awesome planes but it bums me out that I can't get a new Beast if I duff up and crash mine... E-Flite, if you're reading this, please make these available again!
Im getting it in January. I keep trying to use your links but cannot do it while staying signed in. If i go to sign in, then it boots me. Argh i tried sorry. I need to be signed in to do payments and points. This plane is awesome and the price is amazing
How do you like it? I’m thinking about purchasing one. I like how it looks because it reminds me of firefighting with the aircraft in the sky. I don’t know if you seen the planes in the sky but it’s almost like Air Attack. Air attack assists with locating the fire and access points for ground crews, retardant deployment, and performs aerial reconnaissance of the overall incident.
I'm sure the depth perception from the ground via YT video was off, but the plane looked very close to the geese. It would have been cool to have had a camera on it at that moment. But as I said, my depth perception was what made it look like the plane was in among them.
Totally love everything about this plane. I’m really looking at the E-flite UMX planes. Storage is starting to be a problem. So time to look at smaller planes. I have the UMX Night Vapor for inside flying during Wisconsin winter. But other would be easy to fly at the school just a couple blocks from home. Instead of driving to our club field. Just a lot of advantages with these little guys. What would be your top 3 UMX planes? I can see this being an addition for Spring. Thanks for a great video. God bless.
Hey! I love the videos y'all do - thank you! One request: I fly a lot in grassy areas and my UMX's won't take off from the grassy ground so, can you consider showing a hand launch whenever you do UMX reviews? Thanks again for another great video! :)
I don't need any more planes, but if the right one comes along, I will pull the trigger. When I got the email from HH about the UMX Twin Otter, I wanted it. Then I saw it didn't have flaps and my interest was less. When I found out there was no rudder, less interest. No steerable nosewheel...you get the picture. And I'm not a big fan of those linear servos either. It's not like the things I would expect on a sweet little flyer like this have not been done before. I'm disappointed, but I hope HH does well with this plane.
I was so happy to see a twin plan like the Aero Commander made in 2006 I believe, but as it is not super excited about the new UMX on the market. I am with you and do not need another one but will be looking and hope that it sells good for them. I have 2 of the old new stock Aero Commander and love the twin plan on 2 S, not sure why the 1 S, but all is good have a great day.
Hey, fair feedback! I think it’s a great plane for the money. It steers really well without a steerable nose wheel because of differential thrust, and flies well without rudder for that reason too! If it didn’t, I’d definitely mention it. While I agree most planes benefit from having rudder, I’m not sure this one would. Same with flaps. I love the efficiency of this plane and the low cost batteries. Scale looks, lights, and maneuverability are where this shines. Plus the obvious, comes in one piece, binds with the press of a button. Interesting to hear your thoughts though! Thanks for watching azzir 👍😁😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors I hear you. I have the Aero Commander and also the B17. I like them both but they are more traditional. Flaps are nice but not that important. I'm sure the UMX Twin Otter flies and looks great. I have an Ultrix and it is a lot of fun also. Keep doing your great videos!
.Why are you showing me this while I still have presents to buy for others? I could get one for Mom. This one looks good for alot of people. Isnt differential thrust more forgiving to a beginner or do they just make 2 motor planes for beginners cause you can use a cheaper radio?
Nice video as always :-) How would you compare the flight characteristics of this UMX Twin Otter to the UMX Timber X ? Which one would you get for a beginner ? Which one is able to do the best slow flight ?
I suspect that comes down mostly to the high-mounted wings on this plane versus the low-mounted wings on the UMX A-10. But the A-10 sure does look good hanging from my low ceiling on desert camo 550 cord. :)
The UMX A-10 has 3S power, while this has 1S and no rudder. The A-10 will handle a fair amount of wind. With 1S, I doubt this will do well in the wind.
More than enough, which is kinda crazy with two brushless motors. We demonstrated true vertical (though not unlimited) climb and IMO a very great flight time even in this maiden video! Horizon has hit a home run with this plane. It’s an absolute must have! Huge favor: if you do order one, please consider using our link 👍😁😎⚓️
What would you guys recommend for a beginner plane. I want something thats a mini/umx size. Don't have a bunch of room. And I don't want to spend a bunch of money, $250 max with battery and controller.
Probably because he is flying it to enjoy it not to see if it can "do everything" any other plane can do. Likely, he is just enjoying it for what it is. No rudder means cost reductions for the end consumer. Solving the yaw control authority problem with thrust from independent motors is very clever.
@@StevesRC I disagree with your comments regarding differential power vs rudder and also the economy of this plane. You will need a radio to fly it, which is great if you have one that will bind to the spektrum receiver. Not everyone has a spektrum transmitter. Why, because they've gotten so overpriced. Also, the battery is only a 1S. You're not going to be able to fly it in much wind. Also, it's made out of EPS, not EPO, or EPP. Why doesn't HH make their planes out of EPP? Because they want to sell you parts, when you break it. At $170, I don't think it's cheap at all. Compare it to the Arrows Pioneer, at the same price. It's made of EPP, is about the same weight, with the recommended battery, uses a 2S battery, which is slightly cheaper, and comes with a half decent transmitter. Also, I've seen people fly it in winds over 20 mph and not crash. As far as differential power vs rudder goes, I'll take rudder any day. You just have better control authority, and you can do more with the plane. Even Nate mentioned it in his video. At this price I think they should have thrown in the rudder. Without rudder, I doubt you can do a snap roll or knife edge, and it's more difficult to do a hammerhead stall. Pay your money and make your choice. Rant over. I'm out.
I would have liked to see a knife edge to show differential thrust vs. rudder especially in this UMX size aircraft. Not sure how I feel about the no rudder. If I got it, it might be for something to permanently keep floats on.
@@marks7445 Differential power would work great on a float plane. This twin otter doesn't taxi real well, on differential power, because they fixed the nose wheel in a straight ahead position. They should have made it a castering nose wheel, then it would have taxied fine. In fact, there are several real planes that use a castering nose wheel. I used to fly a Grumman Tiger and Cirrus SR-20 & 22 that had castering nose wheels , and you'd use differential braking on the main wheels to start a turn. I also used to fly C-130s, in the USAF, and differential power and thrust reversing worked great on snowy or icy surfaces.

Thanks! Welcome back, and hope you’re having a great weekend! 👍💯🙏⚓️
This really does look fun. Now I'm wishing for a UMX C-47 or P-38 in the future.
AWESOME little Twin Otter!! NICE performance on a COOL MAIDEN!! Can't WAIT to see it again!! Thanks Saylors for sharing the FUN, HONEST review!! 💟👍😘

Sweet! ..always wanted a twin. Guess I should have held off on the UMX Voodoo...which is on backorder! 🤨
Perfect UMX FPV!
I wanna get more planes in the future but the ones you see in the sky that does drop water or red retardant. Make it fun for people and firefighters to learn and get a perspective on what’s happening from the sky.
Unbelievable I want one already!!!
Really nice plane
Abby and Nate y'all rock! Love the channel and content! Peace
Thank you so much!! 👍😁😎⚓️
Your so lucky Nate 👍 I think I live through u sometimes buddy 😄 Great little plane ✈ ✈️⚓
You should have looped around the moon. The Twin Otter looks like a winner.
I wish they made the CL-415 water bomber. They would sell a lot of them.
I gotta write Santa about this beauty!
Nice
Are you able to add a bigger battery with more Capacity? Fly time,
The 2 of you make me want to learn to fly RC
Awesome thanks
Great work guys. I definitely want this in my fleet. Great camera work. 🙂
Wow, vary impressive.

Where did you sign up to get it to review before release? I’d like to do a I’m depth review of this and horizon has been silent.
Why they discontinue the 1.20 mts, ? And also the rudder because the diferencial matter?
Great video. Thanks
Absolutely, and Thank You for watching!! 👍😁😎⚓️
does this come RTF with a transmitter??? How many channels on a transmitter does on need to have the SAFE flight active too??
It doesn't come with a transmitter. It has a spektrum receiver, to which yo need to bind a compatible transmitter. It's on Horizon Hobby's website if you want more details.
ok thats beatifull

omg a smaller one of my favorite
Ok got the 700 mm turbo timber just over a month ago and love it but now i need one of these 😁 thanks for a great vid.
Great video. Do you think it can land on grass, i do not have a paved field?
thanks
You can crash it on grass. Probably be fine. Asphalt, not so much.
Need to put skis on it like the real ones! 😉
Such an awesome plane! Thanks for watching! 👍😁😎⚓️
That's a great idea I wonder if those lighter skis would work on this? Although it would take three I think
Nice video as always :-) How would you compare the flight characteristics of this UMX Twin Otter to the UMX Timber X ? Which one would you get for a beginner ? Which one is able to do the best slow flight ?
Curious to see if it can handle 2 s
I really have to get to the flying field again soon it's been too long my friend 😕👍⚓
How does it fly compared to the UMX A-10? I saw you said the UMX A-10 did not fly like a big plane but in this video you say the UMX Twin Otter does.
I suspect that comes down mostly to the high-mounted wings on this plane versus the low-mounted wings on the UMX A-10. But the A-10 sure does look good hanging from my low ceiling on desert camo 550 cord. :)
The UMX A-10 has 3S power, while this has 1S and no rudder.
The A-10 will handle a fair amount of wind. With 1S, I doubt this will do well in the wind.
Cool!
Oh yeah!! Thanks for watching 👍😁😎⚓️
Twin Otter is already a nimble aircraft.
Hope it has a stronger better built control board then Ultrix did.....boards were un available for ever...which means everyone's boards were failing.
Does it have 6g stabilization?
Did you say differential thrust....wasn't sure. 😂
So no actuall rudder?
Also from the dxs as a new beginner still, what would be the next recommendation for transmitter?
nx8 is nice. Guys are still using Dx6i too
Why 1S? Why not 2S/3S like all the recent UMX? Enough power for this plane???
More than enough, which is kinda crazy with two brushless motors. We demonstrated true vertical (though not unlimited) climb and IMO a very great flight time even in this maiden video! Horizon has hit a home run with this plane. It’s an absolute must have! Huge favor: if you do order one, please consider using our link 👍😁😎⚓️
Wondering if the axles are long enough to take timber wheels? I fly off of a gravel road in the country. Thanks.
Reposting 12/25??
There's another guy flying it off of a pretty gravelly road! His road was pretty bumpy and the gravel was Course looking
What would you guys recommend for a beginner plane. I want something thats a mini/umx size. Don't have a bunch of room. And I don't want to spend a bunch of money, $250 max with battery and controller.
Eflite carbon cub s2 (more expensive) eflite aeroscout (less expensive)
I’d have to go with the Eachine mini warbirds. Just stay away from the corrisare if you have less room to fly cause it takes wider turns.
AeroScout! It's perfect. Cubs are great too
Wonder if this one would be good for a beginner?
AeroScout would be better
I can't believe HH put out a multiengine plane without a rudder. Why didn't you snap roll it? Why didn't you try knife edge?
Probably because he is flying it to enjoy it not to see if it can "do everything" any other plane can do. Likely, he is just enjoying it for what it is. No rudder means cost reductions for the end consumer. Solving the yaw control authority problem with thrust from independent motors is very clever.
@@StevesRC I disagree with your comments regarding differential power vs rudder and also the economy of this plane.
You will need a radio to fly it, which is great if you have one that will bind to the spektrum receiver. Not everyone has a spektrum transmitter. Why, because they've gotten so overpriced. Also, the battery is only a 1S. You're not going to be able to fly it in much wind. Also, it's made out of EPS, not EPO, or EPP. Why doesn't HH make their planes out of EPP? Because they want to sell you parts, when you break it. At $170, I don't think it's cheap at all. Compare it to the Arrows Pioneer, at the same price. It's
made of EPP, is about the same weight, with the recommended battery, uses a 2S battery, which is slightly cheaper, and comes with a half decent transmitter. Also, I've seen people fly it in winds over 20 mph and not crash.
As far as differential power vs rudder goes, I'll take rudder any day. You just have better control authority, and you can do more with the plane. Even Nate mentioned it in his video. At this price I think they should have thrown in the rudder. Without rudder, I doubt you can do a snap roll or knife edge, and it's more difficult to do a hammerhead stall. Pay your money and make your choice. Rant over. I'm out.
I would have liked to see a knife edge to show differential thrust vs. rudder especially in this UMX size aircraft. Not sure how I feel about the no rudder. If I got it, it might be for something to permanently keep floats on.
@@marks7445 Differential power would work great on a float plane. This twin otter doesn't taxi real well, on differential power, because they fixed the nose wheel in a straight ahead position. They should have made it a castering nose wheel, then it would have taxied fine.
In fact, there are several real planes that use a castering nose wheel. I used to fly a Grumman Tiger and Cirrus SR-20 & 22 that had castering nose wheels , and you'd use differential braking on the main wheels to start a turn. I also used to fly C-130s, in the USAF,
and differential power and thrust reversing worked great on snowy or icy surfaces.

I Dmd y’all about a plane and does this come with floats?
