- Welcome to our latest adventure in the skies! In this video, we take the UMX Conscendo for its maiden flight, coupled with the exciting addition of a brand new FPV system that we've been eagerly testing. Join us as we effortlessly navigate the skies, making sky observations easy and enjoyable.
During the flight, we encountered a potential mishap that put our quick thinking and line of sight flying skills to the test, narrowly avoiding a crash. It's a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the skies and the importance of staying sharp during every flight.
Stay tuned for our upcoming video where we delve into an exciting new dimension of immersive flying. We've been working on something special that adds a whole new level to our FPV experience - think intuitive control and a more immersive connection with the aircraft. Can't wait to share it with you!

CROW is when you have flaps down and ailerons up. Used to slow the plane down and create a super stable plane.
Ahhh thank you very much!
WOW !!! Great job guys! This is cool. Worth the wait! LOL... I have to say that is seriously some of the best air to air footage I have seen. I think it actually beats FlighTest air to air video. So kudos to y'all on that... speaking of that the intro with that music section definitely had the same vibe. I also like the red high-lighted logo showing which camera was being displayed. All this coupled with decent audio added up to a great content experience. I have been curious about a head tracking UMX gimbal FPV experience and how to set it up. Also really interested in a UMX FVP digital video. Looking forward to what is next!
Wow you're comment really made our day! We're super happy that you're noticing some of the smaller details of our video, and we'll for sure keep up the content!
Looking forward to it. Now I just have to get a UMX Consendo! I have wanted the larger version for years. Did not get one because I find the UMX planes to suit me so much better in so many ways.@@InvertedAviatorsRC
Oh yeah we love the UMX class, so much power and agility in a pretty small build! Perfect for those tighter flying areas
amazing video also happy new years!!!
Thanks! You too!
Great video guys. The spoilerons help your plane to sink and lose altitude if you are in a lot of lift or get too high and need to bleed off altitude.
Oh thank you so much! Yeah that makes sense!
I’m waiting for my Umx conscendo to get here. I have been out of the RC plane space for about 20 years( mostly all sailplanes and slope soaring)!All the new technologies are a bit overwhelming at times. Wish me luck with my new plane and keep up the great content.
Thank you very much, and yeah there’s always new and shiny toys in this hobby, so finding what works best for your project is always key. Let us know if you have any questions, and welcome back to the hobby!
Great video. Iv been using those cameras for 5 years and they are great. I also use double sided sticky tape. I've used this camera on my timbers, a heli, a carbon z cub and even a v900. Best budget fpv setup to date. I highly recommend. Thanks guys for putting pilots like us on the map. Happy flying.
Ps I always use an external battery. 1 s 280-300 mah.
Yeah these cameras are great! We use them on all of our UMX planes, as well as a Timber X, P51D mustang, FT Guinea Pig, and many more! They are super great for their price! We try to power the camera from the battery that powers the plane, usually from the main flight controller. That way we don't have to mess with charging extra batteries, or plugging extra things in every flight.
Glad you're liking the content!
Just found the channel. OG FliteTest vibes 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Absolutely love it!!
Thank you so much!
First time I've seen your channel.
Subbed and liked.
Remember when gliding or soaring. Every input increases drag so you want to make small movements.
Nice plane!
Thank you so much for the support! We also really appreciate the tip for gliding! The UMX Conscendo is super fun so learning new ways to fly it is really cool!
Thanks guys! I got this plane for Christmas. I just got into fpv. Love your content. I will be shopping your links.
Thank you so much for the support through the links!!! It really helps us grow and get new planes to fly! If you're looking for other products or planes to try out, just let us know. Happy flying!
Great video I have one on order should be here by Saturday
Awesome! They are super fun to fly!!!
12:44 😱 Never would have thought about the quad overpowering the lil AIO cam. Maybe try different channels that farther apart, my wife and I always use R1 and R8. 🙌🏻
Yeah that's a great tip! Our issue is that the quad's camera uses a digital signal, and the AIO camera uses an analog signal. Even though they shouldn't interfere with each other on a normal basis, I think that since we landed the quad right next to the goggles that were trying to recieve signal, we just blasted the incoming signal.
I know on full size planes the Maule has a feature where in cruise the ailerons and flaps go up about 3 to 5 degrees I think decreasing induced drag for a higher cruise speed and therefore lower fuel needed for a trip.
Wow I didn't know that! Thank you for sharing the info 😊
First!
Congrats!!!🎊
How's the weather down there?
Any new videos coming out soon?
Hey! We are finally getting some snow! The super top secret project we're working on hit a little snag, so that video is being delayed. We're currently working on next week's video where we are going to introduce a new plane to our lineup! So stick around for some more fun high-flying content!
just what everybody wants to see, a fuzzy television screen from the 1950s
Not only a fuzzy television screen from the 1950's, but also the ability to get a camera feed from a micro aerobatic plane! If you continued watching the video, the static came from the quadcopter's antenna interference, and after I stopped following the signal greatly improved.
What type goggles do i need to buy for this setup? I am a beginner and want to build this as well with my conscendo
For this setup you should be looking for analog goggles. The WolfWhoop Wt03 camera sends out pretty nice analog signal, so digital goggles won't be able to be used with this camera. Our first analog goggles were the Teleporter V5 (www.fatshark.com/product-page/teleporter-v5) and they were really nice at the time, but nowadays you might want something like the Fatshark Scout. We also have a video on which goggles to pick out, so that might be a good resource too! (ruclips.net/video/KAn8UINDpQg/видео.html)
Hey guys. I fly fpv planes and I think your camera is set to the lowest power setting. You need to scroll to the 200mw setting as it is probably on the default 25mw setting. You will get much better range on the camera signal.
Thanks for the tip! We’ll give it a try!
Wont that drain the battery a lot faster?
@Jeroenvdb88 faster but not much faster. This camera runs on a 1s battery which are very small and light weight. A 300mah 1s battery could last more than 10 minutes on a 200mw fpv camera easily.
@JustEnoughRC so that works if you are flying with an extra battery. I think these guys are using the 3s 300mah battery inside the plane and that's what I was planning to do. But maybe I just consider your strategy 🤔
Do you also have a type of fpv goggles that you can recommend me ? I think it s a waste for me to go for the expensive dji stuff if I want to use this analog camera
@@Jeroenvdb88 fat shark scout goggles
pro tip. put the cam on the wing
Interesting theory! How do you propose you get power to the camera? External battery? Also wouldn’t the view for the pilot be a little skewed to which ever side of the wing you put it on? We’re curious about your idea, and would love to hear more!
@@InvertedAviatorsRC r u serious? Or do you just want to increase the number of comments of your video? lol. Its a pretty common way, to put a FPV cam on the wing to get a free view. You can power AIO CAMS from the main battary using a voltage regulator. You guys seem to have plenty of knowledge and experience. Anyways, nice channel. Keep going.
Thanks! We’re new to the rc glider community, so we haven’t seen this “free cam” on other planes. Our thought with the current camera placement is that the center of gravity wouldn’t be affected, and the wires can all be hidden. Also, our thoughts are if the camera is on the wing, we couldn’t tuck the wires and hide them anywhere, and then once again the center of gravity would be a little off. Also also, which way would the camera face? Just forwards, but from the wing tip? Or towards the body of the plane from the wing tip? We’re just curious and are always trying to learn!
By any chance did you guys try to fly your UMX crescendo on a two cell battery? Mine will not throttle up and it says my battery is not charged for flight😠 I have lots of two cell batteries that's what's upsetting me
Oh no! Unfortunately we didn't, but it sounds like the telemetry data is messing with your ability to arm. You could try hitting "CLEAR" when you see the low battery warning, and see if it lets you take off. Or you could even try disabling the telemetry to see if it lets you arm
@@InvertedAviatorsRC apparently it is a known issue with some of the earlier models what's the programming I always get these kinds of airplanes that need work. If I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any luck LOL
What goggles are you using ?
DJI goggles v2, with a Digi adapter and a rapidfire module. If you want more information, as well as links to each of those items, we have a video that goes over all sorts of FPV goggles! Feel free to check out our channel to find it!
I have lots of two cell batteries I wanted to fly mostly on two cell. I set my UMX Crescendo up on three cell. Then I tried it on a two cell battery everything would work except the throttle and my radio was telling me that my body was not charged to fly. Has this happened to you?😢
They lied and said that it would run on a two cell battery. It will only run on a three cell. I complained and they are sending me at 3 cell battery free😢 not happy now I have to buy a whole bunch of three cell batteries
Oh no! No we haven't tried it on a 2S battery, and we're really sorry that you're having troubles!
@@InvertedAviatorsRC it's not your fault that it doesn't work on 2 cell batteries but I complain to Horizon Hobby and I got two free batteries a battery charger and the charging cable. And they're also sending me a new controller board which will run on two cell. I think that's a pretty sweet deal😜🤪😄
My first and foremost I bought the airplane to be a glider not to be a warm liner the faster you go the smaller the sky is
You guys are early I was taking my dog for a walk😢😂
Oh what kind of dog do you have?
@@InvertedAviatorsRC she is mostly black lab she has a little bit of pitbull in there and a little bit of wolf as well
Wolf??? Does that mean she’s pretty big? Or does the pitbull side of her keep her small?
@@InvertedAviatorsRC she's medium size she's actually small for a lab. And if you guys were talking about me in the video you are welcome to use my name as a reference anytime you want. It's about the only way I'm going to be famous LOL
