Here are my review notes for this E-flite UMX Night Vapor RC Plane:
Pros:
- The lights are awesome!
- Carbon fiber everywhere on this RC Ultra Light Airplane
- Landing gear snaps off and on
- Durable ultra micro build with updates from the Parkzone Night Vapor
- Customizable LED lighting
- AS3X & Optional SAFE Select
Cons:
- The red crop mark
- Rudder missing a panel side of details
This is how Horizon Hobby describes this Ultra Micro Remote Control Airplane:
"Now with a stronger airframe, customizable LED lighting, plus AS3X Technology and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, the E-flite UMX Night Vapor slow flyer is more fun than ever – indoors and outdoors, day or night!
Over its nearly decade-long history, the original ParkZone Night Vapor slow flyer became a favorite of a wide range of pilots for its unique indoor and outdoor, day or night, versatility. There was simply nothing else like it. Now the E-flite UMX Night Vapor picks up where that popular ultra-micro aircraft left off, adding exciting upgrades that make it more fun than ever before! With enhanced durability, the UMX Night Vapor is now even better at handling bumps and collisions when flying indoors in suitable spaces such as large rooms or gymnasiums, or outside almost anywhere in calm to low wind conditions. Plus, you can choose between two fully factory-assembled versions: the convenient, all-in-one-box Ready-To-Fly (RTF) that includes a transmitter, battery, and charger, or the Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic that helps you lower costs by using your own compatible Spektrum™ transmitter, battery, and charger. Either way, you can be flying almost anywhere, day or night, in just the time it takes to charge a battery!
The E-flite UMX Night Vapor makes it possible for intermediate to experienced pilots to fly in more places than ever before! Fly indoors in large family rooms, garages, conference rooms, and gymnasiums. Or, fly outdoors almost anywhere in calm to low wind conditions – day or night! Compared to the ParkZone® Night Vapor, the updated and upgraded UMX Night Vapor has a stronger, reinforced airframe along with more durable metal landing gear that unscrews easily for removal or replacement. The proven power system featuring a stronger prop shaft is compatible with 1S 70mAh to 200mAh LiPo batteries to deliver a wide range of performance and flight time options. Plus, built-in telemetry delivers real-time battery voltage data to compatible transmitters to make you aware of approximately much "power" remains while you fly. Multiple user-selectable color options for the factory-installed LED lights make it possible to personalize the look of your UMX Night Vapor when flying in the night sky. The convenient, all-in-one-box RTF (Ready-To-Fly) version includes a transmitter, battery, and charger, or the BNF® (Bind-N-Fly) Basic version helps you lower costs by using your own compatible Spektrum™ transmitter, battery, and charger. Both versions include exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies for smoother and easier flight — plus they arrive 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box!"

This is how HobbyKing describes this legendary Foam RC Bush Plane:
"The Tundra has firmly established itself in the RC community and has now become the go to model for most RC pilots. From intermediate pilots to the more experienced flier this plane will do it all. The Tundra is an extremely versatile plane that is great fun to fly and is highly entertaining for all pilots with its excellent aerobatic potential, STOL flying ability and all round toughness.
The Tundra V2 has had further improvements over the upgraded original version. Vortex generators have now been added to the leading edge of the wing to increase the stability at slow speeds. The undercarriage is now more secure and easier to install thanks to machine screws and brass inserts, the plastic landing gear cross brace mount is now made of metal for improved durability. Also included is a newly designed battery tray. The V2 still retains the improved wing connectors, wing mount, upgraded motor and Aerostar 40 amp ESC with reverse.
Whether it is flying from rough fields, water, snow or sand, the Tundra takes it all on with ease. The Tundra has a wide flight envelope making it ideal for FPV flying, aerobatics, glider towing, candy dropping or just good old-fashioned super STOL slow flying,
The tough EPO foam construction is beautifully finished and the Tundra design has a purposeful rugged look. Its lightweight design coupled with a powerful brushless set-up instantly gives you a feeling of confidence on the sticks as quickly as it puts a smile on your face.
This rugged and reliable plane can also get into those tight and hard to land places with its huge flaps, vortex generators and extreme STOL performance. The large main wheels make it easy to land just about anywhere. Swap out the wheels for the supplied floats and you'll be flying from lakes, streams and other waterways.
A quick change to the included FPV canopy will give you more extreme fun flying. More excitement can be found utilizing the built-in tow fitting for towing your friend’s gliders to the best thermals.
Simply put the Tundra is an immense amount of fun to fly and you will be in the air very quickly due the very straightforward and speedy assembly process. Take on the very best mother nature can throw at you and still come up smiling. With the Tundra, there are no limits!
Features:
• Fast and easy assembly
• Two-piece wing with dedicated wing connectors
• Beautifully molded, rugged EPO construction

This is how Hobbyzone describes this RC Plane:
"The North American T-28 'Trojan', a piston powered two seater trainer aircraft, was the last piston powered trainer to enter service with the United States Air Force and Navy. Designed in the 1950's, this aircraft played a key role in helping pilots transition from basic trainers to jet aircraft.
The T-28 version we are offering is based on a plane that was restored to airworthy in 1991-1994. It has the distinctive "Just Dreamin'" nose art as shown below. Our version has a separate decal of the nose art so it's up to you whether or not to apply it.
The Arrows T-28 is one of the easiest flying aircraft on the market today. A beginner with basic flight experience could easily fly the T-28 with ease- without the assistance of a gyro system.
Featuring a realistic three bladed propeller, rivets, panel lines, retracts, landing gear doors and functional flaps, the T-28 looks as real as its full sized counterpart.
A powerful 40A ESC and 3536 850kV power system provides more than adequate thrust whenever necessary.
The Arrows Hobby T-28 is a perfect aircraft for pilots transitioning from high winged aircraft and those who are looking for a scale aircraft that is easy to fly.

Thanks to John for recording this flight for me. Here is a link to his YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/JohnVH541
E-flite Draco BNF Basic Smart Plane Review Notes:
Pros:
- Working suspension in the front & back landing gear
- 4S-6S battery options
- SAFE/AS3X Receiver with the BNF Basic version
- Many different light combinations
- Carbon fiber added all over for additional strength
- Reasonably quick Foam RC Airplane build time
- ESC works well with Spektrum Smart packs & lets you know if your flight packs are not charged enough to fly
Cons:
- The tail section is sloppy for a plane of this caliber
- Horizontal stabilizer could have used screws instead of just a click in setup to ensure strength
Let me know if you would like me to review the new E-flite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m BNF Basic (EFL105250) next.
This is how Horizon Hobby describes the E-flite Draco 2M BNF Basic STOL RC Plane:
"The Extra Scale DRACO 2.0m is one of the most detailed and feature-rich E-flite aircraft to date, and the only officially-licensed model of Mike Patey’s ultimate bush plane. It excels at STOL and scale-like flying — and looks amazing while doing both!
Inspired by the incredible ingenuity and effort Mike Patey put into building the full-sized aircraft, E-flite® offers the only officially-licensed scale replica of the ultimate bush plane! The amazing DRACO 2.0m is one of the most highly-engineered, detailed and feature-rich RC models ever produced. Beyond its complex design and the accurate shape of its fully-molded, lightweight and durable EPO airframe with a factory-applied finish, it also features an abundance of Extra Scale details. The clear windshield and windows offer an excellent view of the detailed cockpit with pilot figure and backlit instrument panel. Functional Extra Scale features include licensed, scale-like KING shocks on the main gear and tail wheel, leading-edge slats, slotted flaps and more. There are also a total of 17 LEDs throughout the airframe — with a custom controller that allows you to select solid, strobing and other light combination options from your transmitter. Oversized, tundra-style tires on the custom-made carbon fiber main gear soak up bumps and provide excellent prop clearance, while the shock-absorbing and steerable tailwheel offers improved ground handling — even when taxiing backward with the optional-use motor reversing (compatible Smart receiver and 7+ channel transmitter required for reversing).
Factory-installed, metal-geared servos with ball-link equipped and internal linkages deliver crisp, precise control. The high-power brushless outrunner motor can drive the scale 4-blade propeller with a wide range of 4000–7000mAh batteries, from a 4S pack for slow and smooth scale flight to 6S power for better-than-scale vertical performance. It's also equipped with a 100-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC, and the BNF® Basic version includes an AR637TA Smart receiver that delivers full-range telemetry including real-time battery voltage, current, motor RPM, ESC temperature, and more to compatible AirWare™ equipped transmitters. And even with its large-scale size and feature-packed design, the DRACO 2.0m can be flight-ready in less time than it takes to charge a battery! No tools are required for field assembly/disassembly because the two-piece wing is secured with quarter-turn thumbscrews. Best of all, if you've mastered flying at least one or two previous RC aircraft you can fly the DRACO 2.0m successfully, especially when taking advantage of the BNF® Basic version's exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. And it all adds up to offer an unmatched STOL (Short Take Off and Landing)!
Are you new to flying RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft? If you are, we recommend learning to fly with one of our purpose-built trainer aircraft such as the HobbyZone Carbon Cub S 2. Based on the Carbon Cub flown by Mike's wife, Chandra Patey, it's equipped with exclusive and innovative SAFE technology!"

Here is how Top Flite Describes this RC Warbird:
"Top Flite has updated the kit that introduced Gold Edition engineering in 1991—and enabled the average modeler to succeed with complex scale structures, like the famous Corsair gull wing. Any intermediate to experienced builder is sure to enjoy this project.
- Ribbed tail surfaces appear realistically fabric-covered when finished; concealed linkages, precision-formed details, injection-molded cowl and decals add more realism
- Right thrust has been engineered into the firewall to help align the engine quickly and correctly
- The fuselage has been modified to easily accept the optional, highly detailed scale Corsair Cockpit Kit (TOPQ8404)
- Comes with Great Planes' 60/120 engine mount to accommodate more engine sizes
- Loops and rolls with all the dogfight agility of the original Warbird."
Let me know if you guys want to me to get the E-flite FW-190, E-flite F-16 80mm EDF Jet, or save that money for something else in the future? Also look for my second E-flite Draco video coming soon!

The high-power brushless outrunner motor can drive the scale 4-blade propeller with a wide range of 4000–7000mAh batteries, from a 4S pack for slow and smooth scale flight to 6S power for better-than-scale vertical performance. It's also equipped with a 100-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC, and the BNF® Basic version includes an AR637TA Smart receiver that delivers full-range telemetry including real-time battery voltage, current, motor RPM, ESC temperature, and more to compatible AirWare™ equipped transmitters. And even with its large-scale size and feature-packed design, the DRACO 2.0m can be flight-ready in less time than it takes to charge a battery! No tools are required for field assembly/disassembly because the two-piece wing is secured with quarter-turn thumbscrews. Best of all, if you've mastered flying at least one or two previous RC aircraft you can fly the DRACO 2.0m successfully, especially when taking advantage of the BNF® Basic version's exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. And it all adds up to offer an unmatched STOL (Short Take Off and Landing), scale and beyond flying experience unlike any other!
Are you new to flying RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft? If you are, we recommend learning to fly with one of our purpose-built trainer aircraft such as the HobbyZone Carbon Cub S 2. Based on the Carbon Cub flown by Mike's wife, Chandra Patey, it's equipped with exclusive and innovative SAFE technology that makes it possible for almost anyone to learn to fly successfully! "

Here are my review notes for this E-flite UMX Night Vapor RC Plane:
Pros:
- The lights are awesome!
- Carbon fiber everywhere on this RC Ultra Light Airplane
- Landing gear snaps off and on
- Durable ultra micro build with updates from the Parkzone Night Vapor
- Customizable LED lighting
- AS3X & Optional SAFE Select
Cons:

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this Ultra Micro Remote Control Airplane:
"Now with a stronger airframe, customizable LED lighting, plus AS3X Technology and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, the E-flite UMX Night Vapor slow flyer is more fun than ever – indoors and outdoors, day or night!
Over its nearly decade-long history, the original ParkZone Night Vapor slow flyer became a favorite of a wide range of pilots for its unique indoor and outdoor, day or night, versatility. There was simply nothing else like it. Now the E-flite UMX Night Vapor picks up where that popular ultra-micro aircraft left off, adding exciting upgrades that make it more fun than ever before! With enhanced durability, the UMX Night Vapor is now even better at handling bumps and collisions when flying indoors in suitable spaces such as large rooms or gymnasiums, or outside almost anywhere in calm to low wind conditions. Plus, you can choose between two fully factory-assembled versions: the convenient, all-in-one-box Ready-To-Fly (RTF) that includes a transmitter, battery, and charger, or the Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic that helps you lower costs by using your own compatible Spektrum™ transmitter, battery, and charger. Either way, you can be flying almost anywhere, day or night, in just the time it takes to charge a battery!
The E-flite UMX Night Vapor makes it possible for intermediate to experienced pilots to fly in more places than ever before! Fly indoors in large family rooms, garages, conference rooms, and gymnasiums. Or, fly outdoors almost anywhere in calm to low wind conditions – day or night! Compared to the ParkZone® Night Vapor, the updated and upgraded UMX Night Vapor has a stronger, reinforced airframe along with more durable metal landing gear that unscrews easily for removal or replacement. The proven power system featuring a stronger prop shaft is compatible with 1S 70mAh to 200mAh LiPo batteries to deliver a wide range of performance and flight time options. Plus, built-in telemetry delivers real-time battery voltage data to compatible transmitters to make you aware of approximately much "power" remains while you fly. Multiple user-selectable color options for the factory-installed LED lights make it possible to personalize the look of your UMX Night Vapor when flying in the night sky. The convenient, all-in-one-box RTF (Ready-To-Fly) version includes a transmitter, battery, and charger, or the BNF® (Bind-N-Fly) Basic version helps you lower costs by using your own compatible Spektrum™ transmitter, battery, and charger. Both versions include exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies for smoother and easier flight — plus they arrive 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box!"

E-flite UMX A-10 RC Jet Review Notes:
Pros:
- Ugraded EDF Units from 28mm to 30mm
- 3S power handling
- This can take advantage of a number of the Smart features
- The landing gear has been improved
- Strengthened nose and other weak points have received upgrades
Cons:
- A magnet was missing from the fuse to hold on the canopy. Not cool and it caused my canopy to come off during a rough landing on the maiden flight.
- IC2 connector for many, but not those that are already emersed in the Smart Ecosystem.
- The recommended CG in the manual is not correct for mine, but I quickly found the sweet spot.
This is how Horizon Hobby describes the updated E-flite UMX A-10 BNF Basic EDF Jet:
"The E-flite UMX A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 30mm EDF ultra micro jet is the most practical and easiest to fly A-10 RC model yet! New upgrades make this replica of the iconic U.S. Air Force aircraft easier for a wider variety of experienced pilots to enjoy — including those with limited EDF experience. The BNF® Basic model’s industry-leading Spektrum™ 2.4GHz technology binds to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2 transmitter for full 4-channel control, plus the benefits of exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. It’s 100% factory-assembled and ready to deliver an authentic A-10 jet flying experience almost immediately. The fully-molded airframe features a factory-applied "desert camo" trim scheme and is strengthened with a carbon fiber reinforced fuselage and nose. Factory-installed twin brushless power systems feature more powerful 2S and 3S-compatible outrunner motors with larger diameter 30mm fans, for improved vertical performance and speed compared to other models in its class — plus longer-than-average EDF flight times when using the recommended 450–850mAh LiPo batteries. Use the included fixed landing gear with steerable nose wheel to taxi, take off and land on paved, packed dirt or grass surfaces at large parks and fields. Or leave the landing gear off for more speed and vertical performance plus easy over hand launches and landings on grass. With the A-10 Thunderbolt II Twin 30mm EDF, you can start flying your first mission within minutes!"

E-flite Trojan Review Notes:
Pros:
- The option of using 3S or 4S power
- A proven and legendary airframe
- SAFE/AS3X Receiver with the BNF Basic version
- Stronger nose wheel
- Carbon fiber added to the horizontal stab
- Very quick RC Airplane build time
- Easy radio setup with recommended radios
- ESC works well with Spektrum Smart packs & lets you know if your flight packs are not charged enough to fly
Cons:
- Color is a con for me, but may be a Pro for some due to increased visibility.
- No retracts, but this price point for a BNF, does imply that.
- The air gap in the canopy is a con for me, but should not be the end of the world.
This is how Horizon Hobby describes the updated E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m BNF Basic:
"The E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m updates the longtime sport scale favorite with modern-day upgrades, making it even better equipped for scale-like and sport flying! Introduced as a ParkZone model more than a decade ago, the T-28 Trojan 1.1m quickly became a favorite of low-time to experienced pilots alike! It had the scale looks of the North American Aviation T-28 Trojan used as a trainer by the Navy from 1952 to 1984, yet flew better than most sport RC models because of its incredible handling with no bad habits. The model's simplicity, durability, and easy handling made it especially popular with low-time pilots moving up to their first sport, low wing or warbird model after mastering a trainer. Plus, the convenient size allowed it to be flown at large parks and sports fields and transported easily without disassembly. Now the T-28 has been updated and upgraded to be more powerful, more capable, and more fun to fly than ever before! Stronger and reinforced parts combine with the more powerful 3S and 4S compatible power system featuring a telemetry-capable ESC to deliver higher speeds and higher energy aerobatic performance.
Updated and upgraded, including a fully-painted, high-visibility trim scheme, the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m reaffirms its status as an excellent "next step" model for low-time pilots who have mastered a trainer and are looking for their first low-wing, sport or warbird model — while expanding its performance for experienced pilots with higher speed and higher energy aerobatic capabilities! With a common 3S 1800–2200mAh LiPo battery, the brushless power system featuring a specially-tuned motor delivers plenty of thrust and speed for low-time to intermediate pilots. Or, install a 4S battery for more speed and unlimited vertical performance without modifications or upgrades! Four servos and linkages are factory-installed for full aerobatic capability to perform loops, rolls, knife-edge, inverted flying, and more. The composite-reinforced EPO airframe includes stronger parts to handle the higher speeds and additional aerobatic capabilities, and for improved durability overall. Final assembly is fast and easy, no glue required, and the T-28 fits into almost any vehicle fully assembled — or the wing can be removed for even easier transport and storage. Any traditional RC flying field with paved, dirt or grass surfaces makes a suitable flying site, although skilled pilots can fly in smaller areas such as large parks or sports fields. The T-28 is inherently stable like the full-scale trainer platform, but the BNF® Basic version, featuring a Spektrum™ AR631 receiver, gives low-time and intermediate pilots the added benefits of exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select stabilization technologies. Best of all the ESC included with both versions is telemetry-capable to deliver real-time battery voltage, current, motor RPM, and other data via compatible receivers (including the AR631 included with the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum™ AirWare™ equipped transmitters."

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this RC 3D Biplane:
With its unmistakable lines and exhilarating performance, the Ultimate biplane — in full-scale and in RC model form — has given pilots everywhere respect for the aerobatic capabilities of an airplane with two wings. Gordon Price built and flew the first 10 Dash "Ultimate" design in the mid 1980s and flew the 10-300 in the 1988 World Aerobatic Championships. E-flite® debuted the Ultimate2 in 2015, earning praise from RC pilots worldwide for its solid aerobatic performance and 3D capabilities. With the Ultimate 3D, E-flite® has updated and upgraded that proven airframe to modern-day standards. Its new power system offers better 3S performance and BALLISTIC power with a 4S battery. Higher-torque and higher-speed metal-geared servos keep you firmly in control with the extra power. It's also equipped with a 60-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC, and the BNF® Basic version is equipped with an AR637TA receiver that offers full-range telemetry including real-time battery voltage, current, temperature and more – along with motor reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities – when using compatible transmitters.
Equipped with the latest modern-day innovations and upgrades, the E-flite Ultimate 3D biplane raises the bar for scale, sport and precision aerobatic flying — plus all-out 3D performance too! Stronger, faster metal-geared servos and ball-link equipped linkages deliver positive, precise control while the beveled hinge lines make it possible for the control surfaces to deflect to high angles for extreme 3D capabilities. The new power system, with a specially-tuned motor and prop, is compatible with 3S AND with 4S batteries to deliver extra power and unlimited vertical capability — no modifications required. It also features exclusive Smart Technology via the Spektrum™ Avian™ 60-amp Smart ESC, and the BNF® Basic version is equipped with an AR637TA receiver that offers full-range telemetry including real-time battery voltage, current, temperature and more to compatible transmitters. Plus, with 7+ channel transmitters, the optional-use motor reversing function adds special ground handling and other unique capabilities. The composite-reinforced, hollow-core EPO construction provides a lightweight but durable airframe that's factory-finished in a striking, ready-to-admire trim scheme. Best of all you can have the Ultimate 3D flight-ready in less time than it takes to charge a battery because no glue is required for final assembly, and installation/removal of the wings is tool-free for easy storage and transport. This makes it the easiest and best choice for almost any pilot looking for their first or next biplane!

E-flite Trojan Review Notes:
Pros:
- The option of using 3S or 4S power
- A proven and legendary airframe
- SAFE/AS3X Receiver with the BNF Basic version
- Stronger nose wheel
- Carbon fiber added to the horizontal stab
- Very quick RC Airplane build time
- Easy radio setup with recommended radios
- ESC works well with Spektrum Smart packs & lets you know if your flight packs are not charged enough to fly
Cons:
- Color is a con for me, but may be a Pro for some due to increased visibility.
- No retracts, but this price point for a BNF, does imply that.
- The air gap in the canopy is a con for me, but should not be the end of the world.
This is how Horizon Hobby describes the updated E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m BNF Basic:
"The E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m updates the longtime sport scale favorite with modern-day upgrades, making it even better equipped for scale-like and sport flying! Introduced as a ParkZone model more than a decade ago, the T-28 Trojan 1.1m quickly became a favorite of low-time to experienced pilots alike! It had the scale looks of the North American Aviation T-28 Trojan used as a trainer by the Navy from 1952 to 1984, yet flew better than most sport RC models because of its incredible handling with no bad habits. The model's simplicity, durability, and easy handling made it especially popular with low-time pilots moving up to their first sport, low wing or warbird model after mastering a trainer. Plus, the convenient size allowed it to be flown at large parks and sports fields and transported easily without disassembly. Now the T-28 has been updated and upgraded to be more powerful, more capable, and more fun to fly than ever before! Stronger and reinforced parts combine with the more powerful 3S and 4S compatible power system featuring a telemetry-capable ESC to deliver higher speeds and higher energy aerobatic performance.
Updated and upgraded, including a fully-painted, high-visibility trim scheme, the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m reaffirms its status as an excellent "next step" model for low-time pilots who have mastered a trainer and are looking for their first low-wing, sport or warbird model — while expanding its performance for experienced pilots with higher speed and higher energy aerobatic capabilities! With a common 3S 1800–2200mAh LiPo battery, the brushless power system featuring a specially-tuned motor delivers plenty of thrust and speed for low-time to intermediate pilots. Or, install a 4S battery for more speed and unlimited vertical performance without modifications or upgrades! Four servos and linkages are factory-installed for full aerobatic capability to perform loops, rolls, knife-edge, inverted flying, and more. The composite-reinforced EPO airframe includes stronger parts to handle the higher speeds and additional aerobatic capabilities, and for improved durability overall. Final assembly is fast and easy, no glue required, and the T-28 fits into almost any vehicle fully assembled — or the wing can be removed for even easier transport and storage. Any traditional RC flying field with paved, dirt or grass surfaces makes a suitable flying site, although skilled pilots can fly in smaller areas such as large parks or sports fields. The T-28 is inherently stable like the full-scale trainer platform, but the BNF® Basic version, featuring a Spektrum™ AR631 receiver, gives low-time and intermediate pilots the added benefits of exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select stabilization technologies. Best of all the ESC included with both versions is telemetry-capable to deliver real-time battery voltage, current, motor RPM, and other data via compatible receivers (including the AR631 included with the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum™ AirWare™ equipped transmitters."

This is how HobbyKing describes this legendary Foam RC Bush Plane:
"The Tundra has firmly established itself in the RC community and has now become the go to model for most RC pilots. From intermediate pilots to the more experienced flier this plane will do it all. The Tundra is an extremely versatile plane that is great fun to fly and is highly entertaining for all pilots with its excellent aerobatic potential, STOL flying ability and all round toughness.
The Tundra V2 has had further improvements over the upgraded original version. Vortex generators have now been added to the leading edge of the wing to increase the stability at slow speeds. The undercarriage is now more secure and easier to install thanks to machine screws and brass inserts, the plastic landing gear cross brace mount is now made of metal for improved durability. Also included is a newly designed battery tray. The V2 still retains the improved wing connectors, wing mount, upgraded motor and Aerostar 40 amp ESC with reverse.
Whether it is flying from rough fields, water, snow or sand, the Tundra takes it all on with ease. The Tundra has a wide flight envelope making it ideal for FPV flying, aerobatics, glider towing, candy dropping or just good old-fashioned super STOL slow flying,
The tough EPO foam construction is beautifully finished and the Tundra design has a purposeful rugged look. Its lightweight design coupled with a powerful brushless set-up instantly gives you a feeling of confidence on the sticks as quickly as it puts a smile on your face.
This rugged and reliable plane can also get into those tight and hard to land places with its huge flaps, vortex generators and extreme STOL performance. The large main wheels make it easy to land just about anywhere. Swap out the wheels for the supplied floats and you'll be flying from lakes, streams and other waterways.
A quick change to the included FPV canopy will give you more extreme fun flying. More excitement can be found utilizing the built-in tow fitting for towing your friend’s gliders to the best thermals.
Simply put the Tundra is an immense amount of fun to fly and you will be in the air very quickly due the very straightforward and speedy assembly process. Take on the very best mother nature can throw at you and still come up smiling. With the Tundra, there are no limits!
Features:
• Fast and easy assembly

This is how Motion RC Describes this Belly Lander German WWII RC Airplane:
"Motion RC and FlightLine are pleased to offer the next in our line of Pocket Warbird Series, the Fw-190 D-9 Dora. Like the first in the series, the P-51D Mustang, the Dora can be flown on both 3S and 4S LiPo batteries. With a wide flight envelope from 3S slow and stable to high adrenaline yank and bank on 4S, the Dora will surely check off a lot of boxes for RC pilots. Simply underhand toss and boss and land on grass with confidence due to the skid-proof underside covering. Easy to transport and easy on the wallet, make the Dora one of your models you can't leave behind when headed to the flying field."

- Elevator: 100% D/R, 40% Expo
- Rudder: 60% D/R, 50% Expo
Here are my review notes for this pretty Stealth Fighter EDF RC Jet:
Pros:
- The paint and details are absolutely stunning on this F-35 Stealth Fighter Jet.
- It comes with nice suspension, including trailing link nose gear
- Plastic coated canopy to prevent gatoring
- A big battery bay
Cons:
- The main con and that is why I didn't give the simple overall build a Pro is that the servo connectors for the rudders and had a lot of paint on them making it difficult to determine polarity.
- It flies pretty heavy and the CG is hard to get dialed in nicely.
- Lights like my Freewing BAe Hawk T1 70mm EDF Jet would have been a nice.
This is how Motion RC describes its Freewing EDF Jet:
"Motion RC and Freewing are excited to announce our all-new 2019 F-35 Lightning II! To bring this model fully into the modern EDF era, we started from the ground up and redesigned a completely new mold for Freewing's most popular 70mm jet over the past decade. Now powered by an inrunner motor and 12 blade 70mm EDF, the 2019 F-35 is larger, faster, more accurate, more powerful, and more easy to fly than Freewing's older 2010 version. Fly into 2020 with the best foam electric F-35 in the world!
The exterior shape of the model features the highest level of scale fidelity of any electric F-35 on the market. A correct nose shape, tail group, sharpened stealthy facets, and the telltale RAM paneling throughout the aircraft are all precisely modeled. Thin and shallow panel lines, a very intricate paint job with over 15 paint molds, and multi-color factory-applied decals combine to create a very realistic effect. Even the facted EOTS sensor under the removable magnetic nose cone is recreated in tinted plastic. Our all-new 2019 Freewing 70mm F-35 Lightning II proudly wears the tail flash of EF-01, the first F-35, to commemorate the men and women who continue to operate EF-01 at Edwards Air Force Base in California to this day.
For pilots wanting to fly a modern generation aircraft with similar flight characteristics to our popular Freewing 90mm F-22 but at significantly lower operating cost, the Freewing 70mm F-35 is an excellent choice. Having gathered feedback from many customers about Freewing's nine year old F-35, we improved all major components of the aircraft. Say goodbye to frustratingly undersized plastic hatches under the fuselage. Third, the model features a no-glue assembly, and all flying surfaces attach via screws for easy transport, servicing, and replacement.
The all-new 2019 Freewing 70mm F-35 Lightning II also incorporates two important functional improvements. To provide reliable grass operation, this model includes pre-installed electric landing gear with aluminum suspension struts. Oleo mains and a trailing-link nose help absorb the shock of rough landings or taxing through uneven grass.
One of the advantages of the F-35's 6s power system and larger size is that it uses the same 6s 4000mAh and 5000mAh batteries that our 80mm and 90mm EDFs use, so those batteries can remain in your fleet and be shared across many model aircraft. The F-35's inrunner power system is efficient enough for 4-5 minutes of mixed throttle flight, and powerful enough for fast speeds and confident takeoff from short grass runways with the all-new 2019 Freewing 70mm F-35 Lightning II from Motion RC!"

Here are my review notes for this E-flite UMX Night Vapor RC Plane:
Pros:
- The lights are awesome!
- Carbon fiber everywhere on this RC Ultra Light Airplane
- Landing gear snaps off and on
- Durable ultra micro build with updates from the Parkzone Night Vapor
- Customizable LED lighting
- AS3X & Optional SAFE Select
Cons:
- The red crop mark
- Rudder missing a panel side of details
This is how Horizon Hobby describes this Ultra Micro RemoteControlAirplane:
"Now with a stronger airframe, customizable LED lighting, plus AS3X Technology and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, the E-flite UMX Night Vapor slow flyer is more fun than ever – indoors and outdoors, day or night!
Over its nearly decade-long history, the original ParkZone Night Vapor slow flyer became a favorite of a wide range of pilots for its unique indoor and outdoor, day or night, versatility. There was simply nothing else like it. Now the E-flite UMX Night Vapor picks up where that popular ultra-micro aircraft left off, adding exciting upgrades that make it more fun than ever before! With enhanced durability, the UMX Night Vapor is now even better at handling bumps and collisions when flying indoors in suitable spaces such as large rooms or gymnasiums, or outside almost anywhere in calm to low wind conditions. Plus, you can choose between two fully factory-assembled versions: the convenient, all-in-one-box Ready-To-Fly (RTF) that includes a transmitter, battery, and charger, or the Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic that helps you lower costs by using your own compatible Spektrum™ transmitter, battery, and charger. Either way, you can be flying almost anywhere, day or night, in just the time it takes to charge a battery!
The E-flite UMX Night Vapor makes it possible for intermediate to experienced pilots to fly in more places than ever before! Fly indoors in large family rooms, garages, conference rooms, and gymnasiums. Or, fly outdoors almost anywhere in calm to low wind conditions – day or night! Compared to the ParkZone® Night Vapor, the updated and upgraded UMX Night Vapor has a stronger, reinforced airframe along with more durable metal landing gear that unscrews easily for removal or replacement. The proven power system featuring a stronger prop shaft is compatible with 1S 70mAh to 200mAh LiPo batteries to deliver a wide range of performance and flight time options. Plus, built-in telemetry delivers real-time battery voltage data to compatible transmitters to make you aware of approximately much "power" remains while you fly. Multiple user-selectable color options for the factory-installed LED lights make it possible to personalize the look of your UMX Night Vapor when flying in the night sky. The convenient, all-in-one-box RTF (Ready-To-Fly) version includes a transmitter, battery, and charger, or the BNF® (Bind-N-Fly) Basic version helps you lower costs by using your own compatible Spektrum™ transmitter, battery, and charger. Both versions include exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies for smoother and easier flight — plus they arrive 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box!"

This is how Hobby King describes this Remote Control Warbird:
"The Douglas A-1 Skyraider RC Plane came too late to see action in WW2, it was introduced in 1946 but proved its worth as an outstanding ground attack aircraft in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. It was able to deliver a formidable punch and withstand a considerable amount of battle damage and still get home, the Skyraider had an impressive service record as a ground attack aircraft.
Our Skyraider looks so realistic in US Navy colors from USS Oriskany and the registration 139606 and comes fully equipped with missiles and bombs. The four-bladed propeller combines with an EMT-1200KV motor to give you all the power you need for those low-level strafing missions. The 800mm (31.5 inches) wingspan size of the plane will allow you to easily transport it in your car without removing the wings.
The H-King A-1 Skyraider will have you the talk of the field with its great looks and great handling characteristics. Get yours now.

Let me know if you would like me to review the new E-flite F-14 or the new E-flite UMX Twin Otter on this channel.
Here are my review notes for this E-flite UMX Night Vapor RC Plane:
Pros:
- The lights are awesome!
- Carbon fiber everywhere on this RC Ultra Light Airplane
- Landing gear snaps off and on
- Durable ultra micro build as seen with my RC Plane Crashes
- Customizable LED lighting
- AS3X & Optional SAFE Select
Cons:
- The red crop mark
- Rudder missing a panel side of details
This is how Horizon Hobby describes this Ultra Micro
"Now with a stronger airframe, customizable LED lighting, plus AS3X Technology and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, the E-flite UMX Night Vapor slow flyer is more fun than ever – indoors and outdoors, day or night!
Over its nearly decade-long history, the original ParkZone Night Vapor slow flyer became a favorite of a wide range of pilots for its unique indoor and outdoor, day or night, versatility. There was simply nothing else like it. Now the E-flite UMX Night Vapor picks up where that popular ultra-micro aircraft left off, adding exciting upgrades that make it more fun than ever before! With enhanced durability, the UMX Night Vapor is now even better at handling bumps and collisions when flying indoors in suitable spaces such as large rooms or gymnasiums, or outside almost anywhere in calm to low wind conditions. Plus, you can choose between two fully factory-assembled versions: the convenient, all-in-one-box Ready-To-Fly (RTF) that includes a transmitter, battery, and charger, or the Bind-N-Fly (BNF) Basic that helps you lower costs by using your own compatible Spektrum™ transmitter, battery, and charger. Either way, you can be flying almost anywhere, day or night, in just the time it takes to charge a battery!
The E-flite UMX Night Vapor makes it possible for intermediate to experienced pilots to fly in more places than ever before! Fly indoors in large family rooms, garages, conference rooms, and gymnasiums. Or, fly outdoors almost anywhere in calm to low wind conditions – day or night! Compared to the ParkZone® Night Vapor, the updated and upgraded UMX Night Vapor has a stronger, reinforced airframe along with more durable metal landing gear that unscrews easily for removal or replacement. The proven power system featuring a stronger prop shaft is compatible with 1S 70mAh to 200mAh LiPo batteries to deliver a wide range of performance and flight time options. Plus, built-in telemetry delivers real-time battery voltage data to compatible transmitters to make you aware of approximately much "power" remains while you fly. Multiple user-selectable color options for the factory-installed LED lights make it possible to personalize the look of your UMX Night Vapor when flying in the night sky. The convenient, all-in-one-box RTF (Ready-To-Fly) version includes a transmitter, battery, and charger, or the BNF® (Bind-N-Fly) Basic version helps you lower costs by using your own compatible Spektrum™ transmitter, battery, and charger. Both versions include exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies for smoother and easier flight — plus they arrive 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box!"

This is how HobbyKing describes this legendary Foam RC Bush Plane:
"The Tundra has firmly established itself in the RC community and has now become the go to model for most RC pilots. From intermediate pilots to the more experienced flier this plane will do it all. The Tundra is an extremely versatile plane that is great fun to fly and is highly entertaining for all pilots with its excellent aerobatic potential, STOL flying ability and all round toughness.
The Tundra V2 has had further improvements over the upgraded original version. Vortex generators have now been added to the leading edge of the wing to increase the stability at slow speeds. The undercarriage is now more secure and easier to install thanks to machine screws and brass inserts, the plastic landing gear cross brace mount is now made of metal for improved durability. Also included is a newly designed battery tray. The V2 still retains the improved wing connectors, wing mount, upgraded motor and Aerostar 40 amp ESC with reverse.
Whether it is flying from rough fields, water, snow or sand, the Tundra takes it all on with ease. The Tundra has a wide flight envelope making it ideal for FPV flying, aerobatics, glider towing, candy dropping or just good old-fashioned super STOL slow flying,
The tough EPO foam construction is beautifully finished and the Tundra design has a purposeful rugged look. Its lightweight design coupled with a powerful brushless set-up instantly gives you a feeling of confidence on the sticks as quickly as it puts a smile on your face.
This rugged and reliable plane can also get into those tight and hard to land places with its huge flaps, vortex generators and extreme STOL performance. The large main wheels make it easy to land just about anywhere. Swap out the wheels for the supplied floats and you'll be flying from lakes, streams and other waterways.
A quick change to the included FPV canopy will give you more extreme fun flying. More excitement can be found utilizing the built-in tow fitting for towing your friend’s gliders to the best thermals.
Simply put the Tundra is an immense amount of fun to fly and you will be in the air very quickly due the very straightforward and speedy assembly process. Take on the very best mother nature can throw at you and still come up smiling. With the Tundra, there are no limits!
