The Ultimate in ‘Mike Rowe’ Aerobatics…
As I had teased in my E-flite UMX A-10 flight review video, I’ve been having a lot of fun with the E-Flite UMX Pitts biplane and so wanted to put together a flight review video for it. E-flite has really built up an awesome line of UMX airplanes and this Pitts is one that I’d been eying for a while. Scale aerobatics are a fun and welcome change to my otherwise scale warbird and jet flying and when they came up on sale a while back, I quickly picked one up. I’m glad I did because the airplane is an absolute blast to fly.
The full scale Pitts is a pretty iconic aerobatic airplane and what’s interesting is that the aircraft that are campaigned by both Sean Tucker and Skip Stewart are based on the Pitts airframe. Highly modified of course, but still based on the Pitts. So that tells you a lot about the design as those guys do some pretty incredible flying in those airplanes. They’re even approaching some of the 3D aerobatics that we’ve been doing in the RC world and it’s pretty crazy to watch. So, trying to replicate that in small scale is always a fun challenge and this tiny Pitts does a good job of it.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Just like the UMX A-10 and other E-flite UMX aircraft, the Pitts comes out of the box completely ready to go. Bind and setup your Spektrum radio and you’re good to go in about 10 minutes. E-flite has done a great job with the shape of the airplane and the color scheme is a great choice. It’s a pretty awesome representation of the pitts. The Continue reading
