E-flite UMX Cirrus SR22T BNF Basic with SAFE Select Maiden Flight
This is my Maiden Flight Review for the new E-flite UMX Cirrus SR22T BNF Basic RC Plane with AS3X and SAFE Select.
In this video I go through my maiden flight with commentary and nice tight shots of this UMX RC Plane in the air. I even do a number of rolls and loops to keep things entertaining.

Here are my review notes for this Ultra Micro E-flite Cirrus SR22T:
Pros:
- The looks and scale details overall are well done
- This Ultra Micro Cirrus SR22T has nice bright lights
- A powerful 3600kv 2S Brushless motor
- It comes with a scale three bladed prop
- Carbon fiber spars running through the main wing and horizontal stabilizer
- It has a nice canopy with windows for FPV Flight
- The landing gear is removable for belly landing, but I would not recommend it with this three-bladed prop
Cons:
- The scrape on nose is hard to miss and overlook
- The sloppy nose wheel impacts take-offs much like the E-flite UMX A-10 Warthog. Its ground handling is good enough for now, but I am not sure for how long.
- It would be nice to have servo protectors on the aileron servos
Please feel free to ask me any questions about this E-flite UMX RC Plane you may have and I will do my best to walk you through them. I will say this up front, this is no where near what you get our of a UMX Timber or UMX Pitts. Both are the gold standard to me for E-flite UMX RC Planes IMO.

One plane I have my eyes on I missed the first time around was the E-flite UMX Gee Bee with a bigger motor like this one.
