UMX Cessna 182

 

Alex and Stefan fly the UMX Cessna 182 by Horizon Hobby for the first time in some pretty gusty winds!

 

What we liked

  • Docile handling
  • Flies well in the wind
  • Officially licensed by Cessna—exact scale replica!
  • AS3X (Artificial Stabilization) technology—little gyros automatically stabilizes in hard winds (you can turn off this feature if you prefer)
  • SAFE technology—auto-level capabilities—limits the bank and pitch of the plane
  • Great size to fly in small places
  • A good plane for beginners, intermediate pilots and even expert pilots
  • Decent flight time—approximately 12 minutes
  • No programming required


 

Other thoughts

  • BNF (bind-n-fly) plane—it only comes with the plane and manual so that means you’ll need to get a transmitter, batteries and chargers
  • These are fairly delicate—which is to be expected from an ultra micro plane
