- Wing screws are tiny and fragile
Pros:
- So much fun!!!
- Not very expensive
- The Whipit UMX has a pretty nice glide slope!
Some might ask me how it compares to the E-flite UMX Radian, but I am not sure I would have an answer for them since this is a completely different kind of RC Sailplane.
John and I had so much fun flying the Whip it and my E-flite UMX PT-17 Stearman, that John decided to get his own new plance and it is a DLG Glider. He ended up getting the Dream-Flight Libelle DLG Glider.
Here is what Horizon Hobby has to say about the Whipit:
The E-flite® UMX™ Whipit™ DLG is a sailplane that combines convenience and affordability so that the fun of pure flight is possible to enjoy regardless of experience level. Like the high-performance discus-launch gliders (DLG) popular in competition, this ultra micro aircraft features ultra-lightweight construction with carbon fiber for strength. But it’s also simple like that free flight chuck glider we played with as kids, only now we’ve made it radio controlled.
The wing is removable for easy storage and is reinforced for right or left handed launches. A protective pod cover on the nose easily reveals the simple two-channel Spektrum™ DSMX® control system and battery compartment. With just a single 150mAh 1S Li-Po battery you can expect long flight times either in your backyard, a local park or just about anywhere you want to harness the power of nature.
If you are still reading this, then you might be interested to know that Whippet UMX is what some people are calling this little beast. Why you ask? I have no idea! lol
