      Yea I am pumped. It looks like it might be a 35mm range of Mig not sure. I been flying the hell outta the J-Power 50mm edfs. I have the L-39 and the T-33 (which is SICK, wicked power and tricked out). My buddy had the J-Power Mig 15 and it had a WHOLE lot of issues, mostly CG issues. It was very difficult to get to fly properly. With the AS3X and E-Flite written on it... This is gonna be SICK. If the keep the price inline with there other nice umx planes should be OK. If the get above $175 with the price, might be a tough sell especially since most hobbyist can build a J-power 50mm edf into the 100mph range for that price.

        post some pictures bro!
        I think a small EDF could be fun.. I have two bigger ones
        One is a F-14 with twin 55mm fans and a F-18 with a single 64mm fan
        but with this gyro would make for a very smooth jet

          It's about time Horizon got into the scale foamie EDF game. The Habu is a great plane but I much prefer a scale fighter.

          I had a Nitro Planes 50mm T-45. It was a great little plane and tough. The only thing I didnt like about it was it sounded like a hair dryer on crack. I sold it to a buddie and bought a 70mm F18 from bananna Hobby. Good looking plane, flew nice and quieter fan, but it was made of styrofoam. I made a dozen successfull flights but all it took was a bad hand launch by one of my sons friends and the fuselage was totalled!! I ordered a replacement EPO fuselage from Nitroplanes.

          Don't know if the AS3x is really needed in a EDF but what the heck. It tamed the UMX Beast. I owned version 1 and version 2. V1 was a handfull even with D/R and expo turned down. V2 is a totally different animal.

            Oh man, I love my UMX Beast V1 and think it goes great.. so the V2 should be smooth as silk

              V1 was a real rush to fly and it really steepened my learning curve. I probably like it a little better IF flying conditions are perfect. V2 is not quite as fast though it has a higher KV motor and it doesnt snap manuevers like V1. Dont get me wrong, It's more maneuverable and quicker than just about any other micro except maybe the Sbach (which I have never flown). But where V2 really shines is when the wind is kicking up. Without a doubt the most stable micro made. I can fly her in 10-15 knot winds no problem. No bouncing around in the chop. No problems landing. Hovers a little better than V1 but still not a 3D airplane. If I run a battery dead and motor dies, I just pull back on the elevator and she'll land nose up every time. A totally different airplane than V1 but still very cool.


              The dang Beast also got me hooked on Biplanes. I'm waiting on a motor from Canada to finish up a Multiplex Gemini. Soon I'm going to have as many planes as boats. LOL

                I saw this last night... totally cool! These UMX planes are just awesome, and getting better all the time!

                I found these pics on the RC Groups site, posted by one of the developers...

                  Yea the stock J-Power fans sound terrible. I been using the wicked wemo fans from Donsrc.com this guy is the MAN when it comes to edf in the 50,55 and 64mm range. He's a great guy to do business with and his dynamic balancing is AMAZING. My T-33 sounds smoother then my PKZ Habu and that's saying a lot. My Habu is still my pride and joy! Add a couple of HTX900 servos from Hobbyking and these little 50mm edf kits go together without any issues and talk about cheap speed. Those htx900 servos are $3 each lol and the 30amp re-branded hobbywing esc is like $15. CHEAP SPEEEEEEEEEED! Ill post some pics and a little vid later today of my T-33. I do have a stock vid of my L-39 on my youtube page. You can hear the "busted hair dyer" sound lol.

                      Here's video, this was the first edf I ever flown. Made of EPO TOUGH little plane to break.


                      * This was the first and second flight, after I turned the expo up and it smoothed out the straight and level flight. All stock.

                          I have yet to fly my jets, and to be honest I'm being a little sally about them
                          I'm not sure what the cg is on these planes and I hear if its not right I will have a great chance of crashing

                            28mm holy crap thats tiny... UMX is a understatement lol. I thought the 35mm where small.

                            This guy is awesome to do bis with and great prices. Yea a lot of the BH and NP planes are often underpowered and cheap electronics. The CG is a issue with a lot of them, them typically come in very tail heavy which you know can lead to stalls. You have a watts meter right? If you have a smartphone check the android and should be also on the apple market for a app called "rctools" hhas a cool watts table that you enter how much your model weights including batt and it will tell you where you watts should be. I added over 100 watts to a NP edf just by getting rid of the stock lipo and using a Sky Lipo from Hobbypartz. Same cell count, just better lipo.

                              You have to be kidding me.



                              Looks like the big boys (HH &TH) are coming out swinging at the J-Power 35mm-50mm line, this just got interesting!
