Thanks for showing telemetry screens and the throttle to elevator mix
Yes sir, glad it was helpful.
Very cool hearing AS3X workin those servos over during the low, close glide by… I don’t think most people realize just how hard it works to do what it does! Thanks for another great review, Adam!
Thanks Tony! It was windy that week, it was working harder than usual! Lol.
Was thinking the same thing. I fly my umx pitts and I can see it fighting the wind but I’ve never heard it from that far away. These new umx planes are really something..
@@dknight2585 - I have 3 UMX; Pitts (x2), P-51 Voodoo, and Air Tractor - absolutely love each one… Nobody does small like E-Flite, IMO.
"Ain't no way we're ending on THAT sh(beep)t..."
Laughed so hard, I snorted. Thanks for that, brother. This flyer & vid is another major win, so I'll definitely be using the link!
Ha Ha! Yeah man I couldn't let that go. Thank you very much, we appreciate it!
Great video as always Adam , Love this release. So glad they gave the options for the Flaperons and Spoilers..... I need this plane.
Thanks Chris! Big fun, little package.
Goodness gracious, what an awesome little screamer! I guess I will need one! Love it’s big brother and (attempt to) fly it like you did here 😂, ok not quite the precision and as close to the ground, but definitely sporty. The Conscendo is one of my favorites and I’m sure I will fall in love with ‘Mini-Me’ as well. Looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, flies fantastic. Great presentation, as always, Adam!
Thanks very much Alexander! You'd have a blast with it. Really a versatile bird.
Great review Adam. This little guy is 3 planes in one. Powered glider, Hot Rod performance plane and Sport Aerobatic plane. For $159.99! NICE! I enjoy the way you do your videos. You get the info talk done than go out and fly (with mim talk). Way to go and keep it up!
Thanks very much! It is a very versatile plane. Lotta fun too!
Nice review Adam, that plane is going to be a lot of fun. I'm glad that Horizon has released two UMX planes recently that I can fly at the house. Also thanks for sharing your setup page it makes it a breeze and the planes fly great. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks man! These UMX planes are so convenient, and they fly so dang good! I'm glad the set up page's help!
Great plane and great video Adam! Another nice hit from HH! I like how it "screams" on 3S just like its big brother does on 4S.
And don't "smack" that little plane on the asphalt runway for a "touch and go"! LOL!
Thanks man! Lol...yeah that one was not my best!
Really stoked about this one! 😃👍🏻
You and me both!
Outstanding video Adam. Really well done. This is a plane that will fit in my hanger very well. Thanks
It will. Man I'm really liking the UMX stuff now that they are rocking 3s.
Very good footage and flying Adam &Hedi. Enjoyed the fact this plane is like it bigger brother. Being under 250 Grams os a huge plus.
Thanks Tug! Yep it is a fun one.
Very nice review and flying Adam! I’m looking forward to getting to fly it.
Thank you Mike! I look forward to seeing what you can do with it!
I mortgaged my house 3 times to fund my hobby😆🤯😁🇦🇺
Lol.
Great review Adam and Heidi, that UMX Conschendo looks a real blast, and very quick with it!! Definitely one for my Hangar 🤣 All around a very enjoyable video 😀👍
Thanks Ian. You'd enjoy it!
Cool little screamer. Sounds like a smaller version of its big sibling.
I appreciate you providing the part #'s for those adapters- searching for "male" or "female" connectors like thoseis an exercise in futility.
I like that thro--elevator mix tip, too 👍
It is Al. Yeah man we try to make it easy. The mix helps for sure.
Adam, great review cant wait to get mine.
Thanks man! You'll enjoy it.
Good job Adam! This one looks fun 👊🏻💥👊🏻
Thanks GB, it really is man!
Great video Adam and Heidi. Ryan and I will be flying it this weekend, weather permitting, in the front yard. See you at Perry!
Awesome Scott! See you two there!
Wonderful flights to show off this new little power glider Adam & Heidi. Well presented indeed. I would love to have seen the flaperons in operation but i am sure, time restraints eh. It is the season there for umx releases.
Many thanks indeed.
Thanks Noel! I did use them, its just tiny and hard to see, Lol. I had the flaperons on for every landing/catch I think. Super fun little plane.
You are such a smart boy Adam. So professional in your hobby. Interestingly here the model will be just short of $100 between it’s price & the full size ( on sale)
Man the prices are high there!
Geez, I just bought the seawind and the Waco. Now this. Well I guess this one too. Thanks Adam. I always wait for your reviews before I buy. So far your 3 for 3 on the last ones.
Ha! Sorry Jay, I'm a bad influence! They are all fun. This little rocket surprised me a bit. Very much like the bigger one.
Especially with a glider, in SAFE mode you can set up a good landing approach, cut throttle, set the receiver down on a starting bench and have both hands free to catch your plane.
Sailplanes make good racing planes because of extreme drag reduction, I wonder how it would perform with wings and tail feathers clipped?
Might be a handful.
Well Adam, good review, just pre-ordered it.
Thanks Jerry! You'll enjoy it!
Finally got it and maidened it today, luv it. Tons of fun, slow when you want it, fast when you want it.
Impressive flying. This seems a lot more capable than I would have guessed. Good show!
I remember the tour of your "hanger" some time ago, and it seemed pretty full then. So, . . . have you built another story onto your house - moved some of them out to some of the 'foster parent' pilot friends of yours - or do the old ones go on to Valhalla?
Thanks man! It is very capable, just like the 1.5m version. We are covered up! Lol. We do pass it on. We are blessed, so we share that with others. Quite a few live in other hangars now.
Nice flying and video Adam it really scooted along more practice on catch and release lol ☺🛩🛩👍👍
Thanks buddy! Lol, yep I need some catch practice.
👍👍@@ModelAV8RChannel
That’s looks like a ton of fun ! And you stress tested it well , wonder how soon these latest Umx will be in stores
It's a blast man! I think they will be shipping right after Thanksgiving.
Thanks Adam and Heidi. Great footage and great review Adam. I just ordered mine but they’ve been slow to arrive in Europe like so many Horizon Hobby products. The elevator power mix is a really good idea if you wind this thing up on 3s as intended. Thank you guys!
Thanks Alan! We're glad its helpful. Enjoy your pocket rocket!
Thanks Adam. Haven’t done much flying since I had a big crash with my Draco against a vineyard metal post 🥴 Hoping this will get my mojo back 😊
You'll get it man.
Thanks Adam this little screamer should do the trick 😉 Been flying 50 years so should expect the odd fatality! 🥴
Great video as usual. I'm so tempted to get this one. I've seen the Big Conscendo at the field and I've also seen how fast it can come in. I love my Flaps. Just wrote Horizon and begged them to release the Full size Conscendo with the Flaperon option also. If and when they do, I'll order one that day.
Thanks man! You can program flaperons in the 1.5 Conscendo. Check out the RCG thread on it. It is a common thing owners do with it. You unlock the RX, get rid of the y harness and give each aileron its own channel, then do your flaperon wing set up in the TX.
@@ModelAV8RChannel Will it still have the AS3X and SAFE
Yep. When you make changes to the TX set up, when you re-program the RX it will learn the wing changes made and AS3X and SAFE will work as usual based on the two aileron servo wing choice.
Thanks a lot for that info Brother. @@ModelAV8RChannel
@@gisall8205 Happy to help if I can my friend. Getting used to programming these AS3X RX's is intimidating at first, but I quickly found out it isn't that hard. Spektrum has a YT channel with a lot of good instruction.
Another Shiznit Video production from the Rock Star!✌🏻👍🏻🏁
Lol. Thanks Wayne.
That. Is. Mental. As. Anything 🤪 Good review, Adam, and perfect summation: one model that wears many hats, and for such a good price point as well. HH are on a roll at the moment!
It is impressive Gina! They are killing it with the UMX's. Thank you ma'am!
I want to fpv this sweet plane. The camera I'm planning on using works well on the umxtte. I was hoping for more flight time.
Well here's something a bit unexpected....kinda :).
It moves on like it's big brother. Good stuff Adam,
AirHammer out!!
Thanks brother Hammer!
Sloped mine out like a champ..she does good with over 90mins on 1 battery
Awesome man! BS you had to wait though...Lol.
@@ModelAV8RChannel I wish one of 3 that had it 1st. Put it through some real test...Like soaring....this little guy is a A+++ soaring thermaling machine
Want it
Slick Adam!
Fun lil bugger Trevor.
@ModelAV8RChannel definitely looks like it! These small park flyers may be the future. At the very least, they're providing a whole new entry point that didn't exist when we learned to fly.
I had the older version. It was a hoot!
Yeah man we have the EVO...screamer!
Great demonstration Adam. Ali was ripping one at Bigfoot in 20 mph gusts. Would be fun grab go flying plane. Jeff in LA USA
Thanks Jeff! Great little plane.
Sitting here thinking how I'm going to get this to go even faster and I don't even have one yet.
Speed demon...
Have a great Thanksgiving.....
Thanks man! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well!
Thx for the review, again very nicely done. I own the UMX Turbo Timber and the UMX Air Tractor. One question that i wanted to ask concerns the plastic attachements on the wings where the ball links screw into: on the UMX Air Tractor those were made with very flimsy plastic which folded double on the rudder on my plane and caused it to crash (plastic was only 0.5mm thick). On the UMX Turbo Timber they are much better quality with thick plastic of 1.2mm and quite stiff. How are they on the UMX Conscendo ?
Thanks Patrick. They are the thicker plastic on the Conscendo. So pretty much what you'll see is any UMX sporting ball links will have the thicker control horns, and if they have the older style Z bends it will be the thinner ones. For what its worth I haven't had any issues with the old Z bend style while flying so far. If the control surface gets bumped or is in a crash...then the thinner ones have flexed on me. The new 3s birds have some punch, definitely can put more stress on things.
Looks cool! I really was waiting on a bigger model. I guess I’ll order my next big plane from a different manufacturer.
Porcupine RC. They sell lots of the same airplanes at a discount price discount price
Horizon Hobby pissed off my local hobby store and other Canadian hobby store so much that most of them are no longer ordering from Horizon Hobby what did Horizon Hobby do? By the time I pay us money shipping and Duty it is a very expensive airplane. Going to have to start buying from different manufacturers
I live in USA so free shipping. I love horizon hobby and they have the best product. I just want to see something new ..it’s coming.
@@logansmith6037 I live in Canada. The hobby stores in Canada have been screwed over by Horizon Hobby so there are no longer placing orders through Horizon Hobby U.S. I pre-ordered my UMX turbo timburr evolution. It took over 6 months to get here. I am not going to pay shipping and Duty to get my radio controlled airplanes and parts from the United States. It will almost double my price. I'm on a Disability Pension money's tight especially when I'm blowing big bucks on radio control airplanes
Thanks for a great review. I love the versatility of the UMX Conscendo! How do you think this will do as a slope flyer in moderate winds (say 10-15mph)? I have a UMX Radian that I love, but it's a handful once the winds get over about 5mph, and pretty much unflyable at 10mph. Seems like the UMX Conscendo would handle windy conditions a bit better.
Thanks! Man we made a few attempts at getting footage in poor, grey, windy WX before we got the afternoon you see here. It was blowing 8 to 10 constant with 14 to 16 mph gusts. It got thrown around pretty good, but handled it. Also worth noting is this was in a tighter tree lined area, so the winds there are pretty unpredictable and swirling. On a slope they are more consistent in direction, which helps. I think it would do fine...for sure way better than the UMX Radian.
I've probably sloaped this plane more than anyone the USA...My review is she is a A+++ soaring machine that can catch lift like an eagle...I truly wish these guys would really put it to the test. Instead of fly in circles...My madian flight lasted over 90 mins with 3mins of battery life to go
As for the radian...5-13mph wind is perfect to sloap the UMX radian as for the UMX Cascendo 10-15mph even gust up to 20mph. She holds her own well....However I need a bigger battery to add more weight to really test this plane out
Hey Adam i love your videos mate, a quick question regarding transmitters,i have an old Spektrum dx9 and iam looking at buying a new rafio,would you recomend staying with the Spektrum brand nd if so what would you recomend,or going for something like the Frsky x18
Hey thanks so much man! So, honestly a lot of the different TX's work just fine. Many are really good and to be fair the top brands like FrSky, Futaba, Jeti, etc. work great . I use choose to use Spektrum, and have for about 13 years now. The advantage of the Spektrum is two fold. One is the programmability with the SMART tech is great. You can fully program the gyro (AS3X) and esc's (SMART Avian esc's) right from the TX, couldn't be easier. The telemetry is awesome as well. These are things I use a lot. The second is that they work seamlessly with all the E-flite BNF airplanes, so if you think you'll like a lot of planes from Horizon...that is the way to go. Obviously, you can buy the Spektrum RX's and use them in any plane.
Just bought one through your affiliate link. God bless! PS can you use a larger battery? Say 500mah 3s?
Jason thank you for using our link. We appreciate the support! I would stick to the 300mah for balance. It flies so dang good with it I wouldn't mess with it, lol. God bless you and yours!
In your video you list the CG at 37mm from front of wing? Is this intentional? The manual has it set at 32mm? Whitch one is corect?
Yes, that is intentional. Manuals are simply a starting point ...not gospel. Tune the plane to fly the way you want it to. The flying you see in this vid is with the set up we display.
Hi, I have a question, I purchased this model today but I noticed that in the package there is no adhesive velcro to attach the battery to the model (in addition to the belt which is already in the plane)
I noticed that with the belt alone the battery moves, did you put self-adhesive velcro under the battery to secure it?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, put Velcro on the battery. Happy flying!
woa ok this is nice kinda what I want even a wing that comes of unlike the radian umx
Awesome.
Thanks for the vid - mine just arrived 😁
Have you flown it on 2s? Mine won't respond to throttle on a 2s at 8.1v ... but fine on a 3s. Telemetry also reports 2.66v/cell on the 2s - as if it thinks it's a 3s that's very low (8v/3=2.66v) - any thoughts?
That is odd. You might check the RCG thread. I haven't flown it on 2s. It's so much fun on 3s I just go with that.
@@ModelAV8RChannel thanks for the reply - I just saw that some of the first batch had a problem with 2S, and to contact horizon hobby
How fast can it go? Thx ☺️
What area of GA are you in? I’m up north in Cumming. You’re right, the weather has been trash lately.
Sharpsburg
I had a knock off model of that style plane, it was very fun to fly, they make great Kamikaze gliders!
Lol, I bet!
Hei Pilot, whats the ichy sound at 13:42? Is afe on and the servo's constantly moving?
That is me deploying the soilerons, but the AS3X is constantly working in the wind.
thnx@@ModelAV8RChannel
Hi Adam,could you send me the steps to setup a throttle to elevator mix. I would like to use it on my umx turbo timber evo. I have the spectrum nx-8 transmitter. Thanks Lenny
That is hard to explain in a comment, so I found this for you. It is a DX9, but works the same way on your NX8...
ruclips.net/video/mNzED3HsvVA/видео.html
Haha, awesome plane!!! Weird question, what is the spinner (nose) made out of? Is it simply coated eps foam Or is it actual plastic?
It is plastic. The whole front end forward of the hatch is.
So much better than the radian!
@AnonymousFlight9600 For sure, it's stronger, of course it has to be. With the UMX Radian, they keyed on keeping it as light as possible. At that size, grams count. I actually soar with the Radian. With the Conscendo, I let her rip! Lol
Hi again model av8r, sorry to continue this conversation but I have one more question, does this conscendo do good in wind? I know the radian is terrible in a little wind, and here it's always a little windy.
@@AnonymousFlight9600 Yep, it does very well. The first day we flew it it was really blowing (for a umx). About 7 to 10mph with 14 to 16mph gusts. Mind you it won't be smooth as silk obviously, but I was surprised how well it did.
This plane is so damn sexy!
I agree!
Not want to fly to far away 🤔👍
True!
Can you hear it cutting the air on no power high speed passes?
Yep, watch the first few quick flying scenes at the very beginning of the episode. The third clip is a no power pass after a slight dive. Sounds good...
Here comes another comment for you to answer lol
Safe is ineffective when wing come off
Lol, I bet. Even as tight as we turn it we haven't managed that one yet...
Adam this may be the plane to start your fpv adventures. Just to get the hang of what the ground looks like through the camera. Like I said I will send you a fpv setup you just need some goggles. Let me know buddy! 🫡
Jude that is on my list for sure, just have to have time to do it!
PnP version…?
Only BNF at the UMX size.
This is Bubba's least favorite UMX. Mainly because he can't pronounce it 👍
Lol! Dude. You have no idea how many times I had to watch Jason's flight talk video on the 1.5 to make sure I was pronouncing it right!
