Let me know if you would like me to review the E-flite UMX Twin Otter on this channel.

These are my Review Notes:

Pros:
Compact size, but flies like a much larger plane
BNF with AS3X & the option of SAFE Select
2S or 3S power options
Has a Telemetry enabled ESC & Receiver for battery warnings
Overall nice looking scheme like the V1

Cons:
The white on the horizontal stab was redish white, but the camera hid it well
Wing wires are not taught
Ding on white part of the canopy
The way it taxi's on pavement leaves a lot to be desired

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this new RC Plane:

"You don't fly this airplane," says Aviat Aircraft™ Company about its envelope-pushing Pitts® S-1S. "You wear it." The aerobatic biplane's proven design and highly responsive controls have made it a potent competition aircraft for decades. Due to its overwhelming popularity, E-flite® has brought back the UMX™ Pitts® S-1S with updates and upgrades that make it the easiest to fly, most convenient, and most affordable Pitts model yet! It now includes optional-use SAFE® Select, is both 2S and 3S compatible, and provides real-time battery voltage telemetry to compatible Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters. Because of its ultra-micro size, the UMX Pitts® S-1S can be flown indoors in gymnasiums and other suitable spaces, or outdoors in many yards, parks, and sports fields. The E-flite® UMX Pitts S-1S makes it easier than ever for a wide variety of pilots to enjoy an unmatched biplane flying experience!

This updated and upgraded version of the E-flite® UMX™ Pitts® S-1S is the most affordable, most convenient, and easiest to fly Pitts® RC model yet. Exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® keeps it smooth and optional-use SAFE® Select makes it more stable than ever before. Plus, the factory-installed brushless power system now features a 2S- and 3S-compatible outrunner motor. Install 2S 280mAh batteries for performance similar to the original model or use 3S 300mAh batteries for more speed and unlimited vertical performance.
