Any of these would be good. All of them would be better. There are waaaay too many WW2 warbirds.

Beechcraft Bonanza, especially a V-tailed UMX would look amazing!

On a different tack ---
I want a good, factory-authorized and tested procedure manual and software source for fully programming (AS3X) the UMX receivers....
Our friends here have done a fine job, but the various threads need updating and THERE is STILL no easy answer to some reprogramming questions.
--Oh ... and do we use the legitimate software or the bootleg software???

Ideally it would be something like a scaled down RMRC SkySurfer, though a stabilized UMX sized wing that takes an AIO camera/vtx would work too.
A thousand times yes.
Have high hopes for the A-10, seems like a very good micro FPV platform but hoping for a UMX OV-10 Bronco BL

EFlite has a history with the Bonanza, too. Even with the V-Tail. So it's not too far out there a request.

I wish they'd bring the balsa one back too.

To hold you over for an OV-10, check out the one by West Michigan Park Flyers. It's a little bigger than your typical UMX but it's more than capable of flying indoors.

Western Michigan Park Flyers OV10 Bronco - RCGroups Review (5 min 39 sec)


It's absurd amounts of fun.

I would like to see a BL UMX Grumman Duck. When I look at the new Waco I am tempted to buy one just to change it into a Grumman Duck. It's a shame the lower wing is shorter as the top one... remove some foam... new canopy... add a center floot.. wing floats... three blade prop... paintjob... I can see it come together already .

And since the technology is available.. BL UMX twins... lots of them. They also make nice fpv platforms.

Would love a umx v22 osprey. Probably pushing it on that one, B2 or f117 would be awesome as well.

Never enough UMX anything. I love all my micros and I have 12. Love each one for different reasons.

Fly light, keep it slow.

Only really popular aircraft will be kitted RTF, partly due to tooling costs, hence the preponderance of warbirds.
For those of us who love to build, the answer has always been to DIY, from kits, plans or scratchbuild.

For folks who want RTF or ARTF, there may be a opportunity to develop a 3D printer option.

Buy the printer, then download the aircraft of your choice, grow the parts and install r/c gear from a donor wreck.

Can nice, hollow 3D components be made light enough for small UMX models?
