E-Flite UMX Mig 15 EDF with AS3X

[Diesel6401]

post some pictures bro!

Here's my T-33 setup, I went with it simple for battery compartment room. In my L-39 I could only get like a 3s 850-950mah size batt, in this I've fit 3s 2200mah batts in, but typically fly with 3s 1600-1800mah range for weight and cg purposes.

Just so you guys know... these RXs are created with STOLEN software, and are counterfeits... These are NOT "Spektrum" RXs...

I know nobody really cares about that kind of thing in this hobby (well... I do... but that's just me)... but I figured it was worth mentioning.

Yea Hobbyking is notorious for that. Traxxas hates them for stealing there stupid traxxas plugs. A lot of guys at my field use these in high end models talking $2000 and up. I use them in "less expensive" models. For products that I LOVE i.e my pkz habu I use the ar600s. Sadly I have lost all faith in the ar500 rx's. Lost of birds lost to a issue with that rx. Darin you know I am a DIE HEART Spektrum/PB and HH fan, and out of respect I can gladly remove that link incase people don't know about the.

I actually do care about that kind of stuff, sometimes it gets hard dropping $60 each for a rx.

No worries... just thought I'd mention it.

In a dive maybe, straight and level it's in the 60mph range. EDF's LOVE the high rpm's. All that rpm and only 25amps lol...

My Habu is faster. Crappy video with a headcamera but fast forward to 1:25 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuoAt...2&feature=plcp

[Diesel6401]

Wow that's small!

Hey D, do you have a link to buy this little Jet?
Thanks...

They haven't made the "offical" announcement of it yet, so no links yet. That's scheduled for 2/1/2012. Reason the video came out so early was the release of the Great Planes F-86 forced them to make some type response (so I've heard). The GP F-86 looks cool, but this looks AWESOME!

If history is any indication, don't hold your breath on 2/1.

Just the announcment not the release. Horizon will stick to there normal. Announce a product and it should be available hopefully by June or July lol. Only thing I don't like about Horizon, the E-Flite Hurricane is the perfect example. Its been so long I've lost count, still not in stock.

Tower announced the F-86 a few weeks ago and the release date is soon if not already out. Said end of Jan. That's the way it should be. I typically buy more from Horizon though. If they got a membership program like Tower and released stuff in a resonible time after anouncement they would make A LOT of people happy.... jmho.

Horizon always has the guys on RCGroups' panties in a bunch. But even though they fall behind on their delievery dates, they keep putting out a good product. In the end, everyone is happy.

I'll be looking forward ot the new micro EDF's coming out and hopefully some larger EDF's also. I have had a few of the Banana Hobby and Nitroplane EDF's. They look and fly nice but I wish quality was a little better and they were a bit more durable.

Yes there products are amazing. They discontinued the parkzone habu which is really shocking (and disappointing), but can only mean they have something else up there sleeves to fill the gap. After all the pkz habu was a huge hit! I know I LOVE mine!

I also have a lot of planes from BH and NP. The eps ones are junk, but my epo planes are just fine. I normally modify them in some way, they tend to be underpowered out the box.
