UMX Night Vapor - The SLOWEST hobby-grade 3+ channel RC plane I’ve flown but so much fun!

Might be a lot of fun to fly when the fireflies are out.

jon do you ever travel with your dad.....ever been to arizona

That looks way less stressful than a million dollar rc

Nice job!

Loops are easy even with the included Transmitter.

Thanks Jon! Purchased a Radian to get started flying and love it. I’ll get a Night Viper too!

Excellent job

What was the battery time like?

no kidding that looks perfect for my yard space.

hello
do you know the different between 2 spinners for this plane ?
i found “EFLU1375 is a 150x30 propeller (mm).
EFLUP14045 is 140x45.”

but what will happen how it will fly ? which one is good for small and large space

awesome,im about to get the bnf.what batteries should i get,whats the connector called?

Thanks Jon,I think I’ll buy one.

I pioneered a super light RC electric back in 1991. My model had so many experimental features that I named her the X1-15. LOL full axis and speed control weighing only 8 oz and put in 15 minute fights with ease. There were only 3 other full functioned airplanes weighing under 16 oz at the time. Job and career pulled me away from the hobby for years. Now I see the UMX Night vapor as my kind of plane, Slow enough to tap the wing as it goes by. There is something magical about light and slow flying that almost everyone can relate to. It's safe around people and a joy to feel and maneuver in the lightest of wind and turbulence. ONe last thing missing from the hobby in general; That is a little friendly competition measured by stop watching a timed motor run with the longest flight time plus a measured distance from the landing target. As few as two can compete this way just to improve flight skills. Back in the 90s we had as many as 10 to 15 competing this way and even against other clubs in Dallas New Oleans, and Huntsville Alabama. I really miss the competition in that our club no longer exists.

Super cool little plane and fun to fly at dusk, but structurally weak as F. Flown several times and it was fun, but a low battery indicator failure led to a low altitude nosedive in soft grass that literally destroyed the front end.

Prop shaft mount is shite, and carbon wing strut support lines broke while attempting to reattach to their mounts. Don’t expect this little thing to survive ANY sort of stress or failure.

I’ll fix or replace the motor with a stronger 3D printed part, but for the price I expected a little more structural integrity.

I’d love to recommend this product but I can’t due to the cheap quality and structural design flaws.

PURCHASED MY FIRST UMX NIGHT VAPOR INDOOR PLANE A WEEK AGO (ARRIVED TODAY 14/02/2024) From Hobby shop in KING'S LYNN AND very impressed especially the Leds (colour changing) The transmitter even came with 4 AA Batteries & only cost me: £119.56+£23.91 £143.47 in Total Through on line ordering, .

I want one! Wonder if I could soar it in a late evening soft thermal. I like trying stuff like that.

4 dollar air plane on a 6 hundred dollar transmitter ???

I don't understand how the FAA hasn't come after you for this Night flying without 3 mile visible Anti Collision lights. This vid is Evidence of a Federal Crime.

I've got one on the way. I have the Valiant, but I want something I could fly low and slow, that doesn't require a lot of space to fly, and I wouldn't have to go somewhere to fly.
Plus, because it flies so slow and in a small area, I could even fly it at night in my front yard under the street light.
I don't expect it to be acrobatic, just something to float around and play with.
