This is my E-flite UMX J-3 Cub BNF Basic RC Plane Unboxing, Maiden Flight, and Review video. I unbox the plane and go over a few things, including comparing the size of this RC Aircraft to the legendary Hobbyzone Champ Ultra Micro and the very popular Parkzone Ultra Micro P-51 Mustang. I also put it in the air for the first time and share my post maiden flight thoughts to wrap up this video.
Overall I am pretty happy with how the maiden went. It flies close to as well as my E-flite UMX Pitts and my E-flite UMX P-47, which are my two best flying 2S micros. The main difference is that like the P-47, I had to make some adjustments after the maiden to really dial it in with the CG. Look for the second flight video with speed tests coming soon!
Here are my review notes:
Pros:
- Scale looks
- Wide CG range
- Smooth gentle flight
- Plenty of power
- Flies like a bigger more powerful 4-channel Hobbyzone Champ
Cons:
- Dents and dings to the wing and bottom of fuse were bad
- Battery hatch magnet is only taped in. That came loose when testing the CG before the maiden.
