About E-flite RC Airplane UMX Night Vapor RTF to Fly
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
65% appreciated the additional features, though 35% found them unnecessary
It is difficult to use the safe and led light color change features with other transmitters, but possible with dx6i.
67% found it easy to assemble and maintain, but 33% encountered difficulties
I had a hard time removing the old gear assembly and the new one did not work either.
I faced issues with the motor mount of my hobby-rc-airplane during normal use. The plastic motor mount heats up and starts to melt, causing the mount to twist and make contact between the motors gear and the props gear intermittently. Eventually, the mount becomes soft and the motor slides out of the front sleeve of the mount, making it impossible to re-insert the motor once it cools down and hardens in the shrunk state.
On the very first flight, the propeller broke, indicating that this product may not be robust enough to withstand crashes or other forms of wear and tear.
66% appreciated its long battery life, though 34% found it short-lived
I purchased a 200 MAH battery for the plane and used it for the first flights.
After 30 minutes of flight time, the battery broke the white wire connecting it to the circuit board, resulting in the plane crashing.
67% appreciated its durability, but 33% experienced breakage
During normal use, the motor heats up the plastic motor mount until it starts to melt, causing two things to happen.
I find the plane to be fragile.
I gave the product 4 stars despite it being terribly fragile.
I do not recommend the unit for a first-time RC as it is lightweight and fragile.

71% praised for its smooth flight performance, while 29% experienced turbulence
After 30 minutes of flight time, the battery broke the white wire connecting it to the circuit board, causing the lights to go out and the plane to crash.
The heat caused the motor mount to soften and deform, leading to flight issues.
70% praised for its scale accuracy and detail, while 30% found it lacking
I find the airplane enjoyable to fly and well-suited for beginners due to its slow speed.
I noticed that the plane required a lot of throttle to fly level and seemed heavy.
Rephrased: The plane felt heavy and required a lot of throttle to fly level.
The unit is very lightweight and fragile.
