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. Exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® keeps it smooth and optional-use SAFE® Select makes it more stable than ever before. Plus, the factory-installed brushless power system now features a 2S- and 3S-compatible outrunner motor. Install 2S 280mAh batteries for performance similar to the original model or use 3S 300mAh batteries for more speed and unlimited vertical performance. The control unit/flight controller includes an ESC and Spektrum™ receiver that provides real-time flight battery voltage telemetry to compatible Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters while you fly. Constructed of advanced EPS material for a lightweight yet durable airframe, this Bind-N-Fly® Basic model arrives 100% factory-assembled. Just bind it to your 5+ channel DSMX®/DSM2® equipped transmitter and you can be flying in minutes! The ultra-micro size is perfect for flying indoors in gymnasiums and similar large spaces, or outdoors pretty much anywhere — yards, parks, sports fields and beyond.
