Overview

The E-flite UMX WACO has received an impressive makeover. Now equipped with optional SAFE Select for enhanced stability and exclusive Spektrum AS3X technology for a smoother, larger-scale flying experience even in gusty conditions, this upgraded model truly soars. The factory-installed brushless power system, featuring an upgraded 2S- and 3S-compatible out-runner motor, allows for either original model-like performance (with 2S 280mAh batteries) or amped-up speed and unlimited vertical performance (with 3S 300mAh batteries). Pilots will also appreciate the real-time flight battery voltage telemetry provided by the control unit's ESC and Spektrum receiver to compatible Spektrum AirWare transmitters.

Constructed with a lightweight yet durable advanced EPS material airframe, the UMX WACO comes in a fully-painted yellow or lighter-weight unpainted white base version. This Bind-N-Fly Basic model arrives 100% factory-assembled, ready to bind to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2 transmitter for nearly instant flying. The ultra-micro size and lightly loaded biplane design make it perfect for indoor flying in gymnasiums, as well as outdoor adventures in yards, parks, sports fields, and beyond.
