EPP is jaggedy and nasty anyways, so it's never going to look "great" no matter what, even the laser cut kits of EPP don't have spectacular edges just because of the different sizes of the foam beads.

Other foams (DTF, FFF, MPF, Depron) you just need a super sharp knife and then most of them sand very well to smooth out the shape.

Today I got to meet up with the cool East Bay Boys from RCGroups.com for their Christmas Eve Fun Fly Meet at Ohlone College in Newark, CA:

I started my first flight of the day with my UMX Beast 3D on 3S (Thanks for posting Foamyflyerr):

Later, I was surprised and very honored when they handed me the sticks to fly one of their large QQ Extra 300 3D / Aerobats for the special occasion! What a sweetheart of a plane.

Merry Christmas to you all!!

Merry Christmas everyone!

That little Beast moves on 3S. Don't know if it's my style, but it does move, that's for sure.

It definitely has more power with some getup and go, but can still pull previous aerobatics and 3D as its stock 2S counterpart... you just have to be much lighter on the throttle.

If anyone wants 50 bucks of horizon money I will sell my gift card to any UMX Beast lover for 35. Just PM if interested.

UMX BEAST NIB INSPECTED ( it's a good one)
2300 Kv 180 - 2 babblebats 240 mah 3s All new one complete Beast brick with linkages and servos (The xtra brick and Servos are 100% as in 7.4 volts for less than 3 minutes). Don't ask lol.


Well I'm just taking a break and Horizon killed the best airplane on the site. It's my last new one and it comes with all listed. I'm out of 5043 props. Pm if interested. No worries with me. If everything is not 100 percent the way you like it then immediate refund no questions asked. I'm posting here because of the know how it takes for this plane to do its thing on 3s. I mean you guys taught me. Oh the box is great and I'll also ship a new set of shape ways wheel pants and spinner. That setup looks good if someone was interested in displaying the best RC EVER.

I tried selling planes on their respective threads, but listing it in the classifieds works much better.....as well as the classifieds enable seller/ buyer ratings. selling within a thread doesn't enable ratings.

so not criticizing.....just saying you will get more action in the classifieds and get credit for a successful sale.

Good luck!

555! As a Thai would say! "5" is pronounced "Ha" in Thai language...

anyone build a complete new Beast using the spare parts Eflite sells for it? I know it ends up costing more than a new p2 revolution or pitts, but still .. the Beast has the best rep to this day. I have brick and servos from a mig15 and stryker umx for electronics, so considering such a Beast build. Not sure what issues I'll run into setting up as3x though

Hey Ben,

Didn't you do a complete UMX Beast build a year or so back??

Roger

They are getting harder and harder to find.
Beast #7 will arrive on Wed.

Sweet deal, Roger! I still have the two I bought way back when. Both have had a steady diet of your 3s packs for a few seasons so far & they're still going strong!
