We have the 250g rule up here in Canada. I have many UMX models and I will be buying many more as releases come out that I like, I am an exception to Horizon's market research I suppose because I love warbirds and that's exactly what I'd love to see released. We need some military UMX biplanes (either WW1 or WW2) because I love the waco, I can't do peter Phillipps level work myself, but I dream. And we need more warbirds as they've taken away the 3 excellent 2s models they had! I would purchase any type they brought out but I realize they'll do what they think will sell the best. A corsair? A P40? A spitfire? I wish they'd do some axis ums planes too!

Hurricane-yes please!
Avenger-YES PLEASE! That would be awesome, and if it was scale compared to the umx mustang, so it'd be a 'big' umx. Then they should have the top cowling come off like the waco or wildcat and you can put a bigger 450 mah bat inside. Still 2s so it is standardized like all the others and would, if anything, be more scale like a real Avenger. Guys could up it to 3s themselves if they like to make umx rockets. |

And an avenger would be perfect with mid-wing (like p47 and wildcat) for belly landing! Pretend I'm ditching into the ocean as I land in the snow!

Yeah I think an Avenger would be a great flyer, big wing both span and width,
don't know if a foamy Avenger has been done before, very under done! Always been a fan, became fully hooked when this one visited my local! |

The problem I see with UMX is many of us.
Reading through this thread there are lots of comments saying we want SAFE, retracts, flaps, brushless, 2S, this warbird, that warbird, this that and the other but also that they are already overpriced and that you can buy a 1.2m for roughly the same price. Doesn't anyone realize that with the constant increases in the minimum wage and various other factors that these things all add up to higher prices? Yes, you can buy a larger and more capable model for similar costs but sometimes making something tiny costs just as much. There's more to it than the cost of the raw materials. I just bought my second UMX P-51, it had been sitting on the shelf at the LHS for over a year, same as the first one I bought from the other store in town. They had to put them on sale and still sat till I saw them and snatched them up. How does a company justify producing models that sit on the shelf? Also adding SAFE to a warbird is stupid in my opinion, warbirds are not trainers and never have been. Learn to fly before buying the intermediate skill level planes or at least buy them but don't fly them till you learn. Everything I read people asking for adds cost yet many people still think they should be priced similar to the early 1S models. And don't forget that awesome customer service we all enjoy, that costs money as well. I love my UMX Timber and P-51, that's why I bought 2 of each. I wish I had bought a couple other models when they were still available but unfortunately I missed out. I'm hoping for some new models or even another run of some of the older more popular ones but only time will tell if we get some. I do think it would be a mistake to abandon the sub 250g category with all these stupid new rules coming out. Which by the way you can blame on the idiots who thought it was cool to fly their drones around airports, public beaches, and parades trying to get pics and vids they could post hoping for likes, and subscribers. We should have been scorning those people not giving them a thumbs up on YouTube. |

Gps guided and or/fpv beyond line of sight drones are what is killing the hobby for the rest of us. The object for the rest of us is to keep the planes close enough to actually see them. That means they aren’t going to be in contested airspace and shouldn’t need such overbearing regulation.

the fact that the majority of the non-modeling public thinks that delivery drones will actually work is comical. maybe eventually, but we all know that we are nowhere close to letting "drones" fly autonomously, carry large payloads, and have decent collision avoidance.
