- Finally, after 5 long days I got to fly for the first time in 2025!
Taking it nice and easy with the UMX Radian, it didn't go so well, but at least I got to fly.
Happy new year everyone, I hope 2025 will be a good year!
Happy New Year 2025🎉✨️💪
Beautiful fly👌😁
Thank you! Happy new year!
Alex great flying, cold sapping battery. Have a great 25. Jeff in LA USA
Thank you Jeff! Hope you have a great year as well!
Those 1s 3.7 Volt tiny lipos are very sensitive to the Cold Weather I have experienced when Flying the Hobbyzone Sport Cub S2. It has been very Windy here in NE Pennsylvania in the past couple weeks but I did get a couple RC Flights on New Years Eve morning when the Wind was relatively light for a little bit of time and it has continued a Windy streak and Cold since that December 31, 2024. I miss RC Flying at my Town Park only 50 Yards from my home. I think the Windy and Cold Conditions are going to be a Staple here from what the Forecast Show up to Martin Luther King Day in about Two Weeks. Happy RC Flying Alex and Stay Warm in Your Continental Winter as well 😊🛩💯👍🏿
I thought about the battery as well, but I flew it in my Vapor a week ago in similar temperature and got 5 minutes easy.
And I had this happen with other batteries before, I think it might be the motor or gears.
Yeah, I'm ready for at least a couple more months of cold here, that won't stop me from flying. Wind might 😄

Happy New Year 🎊.
Happy new year!
nice plane, ive been lookat similar ones 👍👍😎
It's the cheapest E-flite plane as well, really fun when it works right, if you have a dsmx radio go for it, really nice to fly around on a calm day.
I wonder what happened at the end of the flight?
It might be an excuse to convert it to a brushless motor 😂 Just need to figure out if it's possible.
@A.M.-RC gut it and ad a new ESC. Definitely!!
@@FlyTimeRCmain issue is that the receiver, servos and esc are all one unit. I might look into a similar size one from a brushless UMX or maybe someone has created a separate ESC that plugs into this. I have some googleing to do now 😂
@A.M.-RC oh ok. Maybe get the umx turbo timber esc? It's like that
Might be a bit big, the fuselage on this is tiny. I did find someone that made it 2s brushless. Down the rabbit hole I go 😄
Oh I was curious to see how this flies after seeing it all over the sales websites. Maybe the cold weather was causing the issues, but it seemed to fly ok👍
I thought it was the battery but it's not happening with other planes, it might be the motor or gears. It's an easy flyer, very relaxing to fly.
@@A.M.-RC Good stuff!
Maybe battery is just a little weak or it's the cold?
I flew the Vapor on this same battery and it worked fine, temperature was similar. I think it might be the motor or the gears inside, I need to open it up and see.
Plus these little brushed motors tend to not live that long or lose performance over time. It did sound a bit loud.
@@A.M.-RC maybe so. Time for brushless!
