Let me know if you would like me to review the E-flite UMX Twin Otter on this channel.

These are my Review Notes:

Pros:
- Compact size, but flies like a much larger plane
- BNF with AS3X & the option of SAFE Select
- 2S or 3S power options
- Has a Telemetry enabled ESC & Receiver for battery warnings
- Overall nice looking scheme like the V1

Cons:
- The white on the horizontal stab was redish white, but the camera hid it well
- Wing wires are not taught
- Ding on white part of the canopy
- The way it taxi's on pavement leaves a lot to be desired

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this new RC Plane:

"You don't fly this airplane," says Aviat Aircraft™ Company about its envelope-pushing Pitts® S-1S. "You wear it." The aerobatic biplane's proven design and highly responsive controls have made it a potent competition aircraft for decades. Due to its overwhelming popularity, E-flite® has brought back the UMX™ Pitts® S-1S with updates and upgrades that make it the easiest to fly, most convenient, and most affordable Pitts model yet! It now includes optional-use SAFE® Select, is both 2S and 3S compatible, and provides real-time battery voltage telemetry to compatible Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters. Because of its ultra-micro size, the UMX Pitts® S-1S can be flown indoors in gymnasiums and other suitable spaces, or outdoors in many yards, parks, and sports fields. The E-flite® UMX Pitts S-1S makes it easier than ever for a wide variety of pilots to enjoy an unmatched biplane flying experience!

This updated and upgraded version of the E-flite® UMX™ Pitts® S-1S is the most affordable, most convenient, and easiest to fly Pitts® RC model yet.
