It's kind of a sketchy nasty town in parts. The hills are where it is kind of nice to be at.. everywhere else you could be stepping in human poop on the sidewalk..😬😬

Where do you get your depron from? Locally, there's not much of anything for me. The only company I can find shipping 1mm thicknesses for reasonable prices is in Australia lol

That's bad! I'd definitely want to live in a place like Alaska, so I can fly all day long and basically post here everyday!

Good vid. It is a fun little plane. I bet the gears on the motor just need a dab of petroleum jelly to quiet them down. The new gearbox is dry i bet

Yeah, I used some white lithium grease (what I had on hand) before the video and it helped a little, i think it might have something do do with my prop that is all out of wack, it’s cut on one side so vibrations are very likely
My buddy bought a large box of it 10 years ago and has hardly touched it, and he’s happy to have me use it!
Alright, it was an epic flying day today! I flew with a buddy and we flew two packs through the UMX PT-17, 1 through the UMX B-17, 2 through the UMX spacewalker, 2 through the UMX P-47, 1 through the UMX P-51, and I also got a little stick time on the H-king F-86, although the battery was almost dead when I flew it so it only lasted a minute lol. The UMX sukhoi motor mount decided to come unglued so the flight on it was pretty short. I also flew my champ a little and worked on a UMX sized Sea Angel. That one has a bit of tuning before it flies though. Overall an awesome flying day!

My envy is difficult to contain. Nowhere local to me sells it. Damn...My buddy bought a large box of it 10 years ago and has hardly touched it, and he’s happy to have me use it!
Do you have any pictures of that mini sea angel? I wanna see it. It's also quite annoying how all the really nice UMX planes are all discontinued. I have a Spacewalker sitting in a box somewhere which flies amazing but I'm afraid to since it's impossible to get parts for and I don't want to break it.

Agreed
Yeah, I’ll get some pics and post it tonight. I just got a used spacewalker in the mail yesterday and it’s an amazing UMX to fly on a calm evening. I actually flew it for over half an hour well after dark on our back porch. I just turned on the porch light and cruised around, doing touch-n-goes, shooting gaps, and having an absolute blast!My envy is difficult to contain. Nowhere local to me sells it. Damn...

Depron really is no longer available in America, RC Foam was the supplier for it and when Depron told them no more modeling foam they closed their doors. I think in the UK you can get the Aero type DepronMy envy is difficult to contain. Nowhere local to me sells it. Damn...

Looked at those on eBay, they aren't cheap. You must be hording inventory.
Yeah - they are overpriced on eBay! It was my buddy’s that I was flying and he got it used back a few years for like $50.
