Such a wonderful plane. Very aerobatic and nimble little plane. I love this plane. I can't wait to order It's bigger brothers, the 850mm and the 1400mm Pitts.
Great flying little airplane, does well in light wind, Better than expected. Also as a first time customer I was pleased with the service and 3 day delivery!
I highly recommend this plane as it flies great, small so will fit in any car, and very acrobatic. For me I have to hand launch and landings are a little rough as I have grass field.
Excellent micro park flier. I was worried it would be hard to manage due to its size and it being a biplane. With the AS3X tech, it's easy to manage. Good trainer for those moving to acrobatics.
Intermediate pilot: Exciting yet very stable and predictable. Very slow stall speed, as safe fields are getting rarer, this gives me the feel of the Ultimate 3D yet flyable on a clear baseball field! Comes without a lipo and I strongly recommend the 3 cell 300 mah 30C. Ground handling exceptional for a timy tail dragger. My first six flights, were just slightly over half power. Love it!
Reviewers largely praise the 434mm UMX Pitts S-1S as a small, nimble and aerobatic electric biplane, with several noting it is manageable with AS3X and suitable as a micro park flier or trainer for pilots moving into acrobatics. Opinions diverge on handling: some call it stable and predictable, while others describe it as hot, not suited to beginners, and needing rudder and careful ground handling. Pilots report it flies well on a 2S and is powerful on a 3S. Landing on grass is described as rough by one reviewer, and one reviewer mentions it is hard to see at distance. One low-rated review cited shipping damage to the wing struts and a delivery to the wrong address, which relates to service rather than flight performance.
