'nother UMX eflite plane...

[Edfrombama]

Good morning to all-

So, under the tree this year I got a big package which contained a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber rc plane from Eflite and a package of batteries and charger.
Now, I have to be honest, this was not a plane I would have ordered myself. It looks like it would be very hard to fly and control, The detailing is quite good, but the whole plane- it just looks "shaky" to me.

Well, friends, once again and for millionth time in my life, I was wrong- badly wrong. I bound this plane to my controller and yesterday evening took it down the road to the flying field. It turns out this funny looking plane ground controls very well, and it makes a lovely scale-looking take off, and it is a dream to fly. Very easy to control, fairly responsive to input, and it lands and taxis very well.

So, I was wrong and the plane was right. I'll take that, and I'll confess to my error. In fact, I'd be down flying this plane right now except for the fact a cold front is blowing through- and I do mean BLOWING- and flying is not possible. Maybe tomorrow.

you all be safe and keep well- Ed

It's good to be wrong, but in the right way.

I thought I was wrong once. Turns out I was only mistaken.

I would have expected poor performace too. Glad it worked out!
