Fun to Fly!

Jan 11, 2021

At first I thought this plane was a handful. That was because I tried to fly it like other UMX planes. You need to coordinate your turns and by that I mean to use rudder.
On take-off, keep the elevator neutral and when up to speed, rotate-dont force a short take-off.
I mounted leading edge slats on mine from another brand and let me tell you, this plane loves it. Configured like that, this plane will slow fly, STOL land (you heard me right) and turn on a dime with full flaps and tip stall tendency went bye-bye.

Micro Tundra

Jan 10, 2021

Bought the tundra in Eu for fast delivery. The promised adapter cables were not supplied. Contacted HK, and they send me cabkes from china. Now two months later still have not received the cables. Not able to fly the tundra :-((

Good flyer, but be aware it can tip tall if flown slowly. Really good fun to play around with the flaps .

Model performs well even in a light breeze and flaps are effective for a nice slow landing. Cruising around with half flap at half throttle allows longer flight time 5 to 6 mins on a 370mah pack.

Aileron rates

Dec 31, 2020

For the first flight, you need the aileron rates set very low so that they move a max of 1/4 inch. Make sure the plane is balanced. I had to put the battery in the receiver area. With the ailerons set higher, the plane is very twitchy. Once the plane is in the air and you get a feel for how it flies, you can use a higher rate on the ailerons.
Flying off of water requires a little more elevator than off the hard stand.

Was expecting a bit more

Dec 29, 2020

Pretty strong plane overall. The foam and wing braces make for a pretty strong model, but they skimped on glue and the cowling. Haven't been able to get through more than 2 flights at a time before something broke - wing mount, wing clip, and landing gear bracket all came unglued. The cowling is very weak and I suggest using clear packing tape on both inside and outside to give it some strength. I also had to replace my elevator servo after my 9th flight. I have had it out 4 times but have never been able to get more than 2 flights at a time before something came undone. It tip stalls in turns and requires a bit of speed. I fly with an Admiral gyro and it handles a slight wind ok. Not a beginner plane but not aerobatic either. Not sure I would spend my money on it again but it lets me fly in a small park by the neighborhood school.
