In this video I go over the plane and compare it to my two other ultra micro biplanes or "bipes", the E-flite UMX PT-17 and E-Flite UMX Pitts S-1S.

Here is a list of pros and cons for this UMX RC Biplane:

Cons
- Its stickers were not applied very well
- The elevator has some asymmetry issues

Pros
- Looks great
- Nice size
- 2S brushless power
- Well built landing gear

This is how E-flite and Horizon Hobby describe this UMX RC Plane:

"Own a piece of history and get a taste of what the early days of aviation were like with this scale reproduction of the classic Waco biplane. The E-flite® UMX™ Waco BL blends classic style with state-of-the-art features to give you one of the most rewarding flying experiences at any size. It comes out of the box with scale touches which include molded surface details on the wing and fuselage, carbon-fiber flying wires, windscreens and more. You even get a pilot figure complete with a flying scarf. All this detail is brought to life by a 180-size brushless power system. This power system, along with the model’s light wing loading and AS3X® technology, gives you a wide flight envelope to play with. Firewall it to fly aerobatics or throttle back and cruise – the UMX Waco BL will deliver smooth, stable response whatever you want to do."

I have to say that over the years the three best UMX RC Planes have been the E-flite UMX Pitts, the E-flite UMX Radian, and the E-flite UMX Timber. All three are the best at what they do IMO.

It is pretty amazing how far this channel has come since making this video. These days John and I are flying high performance EDF Jets like my E-flite Viper and Freewing BAe Hawk, but it is still nice to mix in planes like this along with the new E-flite Night Radian Glider.
