    New eflite p47 um

    I got to see one of these at the hobbie shop a few days ago it really looks nice. With the 2cell brushless power and a more true wing this might be something you could actually fly. This has got my interest back up for trying the ultra micros again. I would like to see them redo the previous warbirds like this.

      I saw the video earlier looks like it flies nice. I got to handle one at a hobbie shop a few days ago. It is built more like the larger versions especially the main wing. It's not just a thin sheet of foam but a thicker more durable wing. The 2s power system should give ample power. I can't wait to get one and fly it.

        Now if only we could talk FMS into a 1700mm razorback version! :)

          I'd rather see some more warbirds in the 1200mm range. Big enough to fly well but small enough to transport easily and could run on 3s or 4s.

            What kind of flight times can be expected from the P47 um? I am really tempted to pick one up.

              ​It all depends on your flight pack.

              I fly my bone stock UM Pitts S1S on a Miniaviation 2s 300mAh 35C and have power to spare after 5 minutes of spirited flight. The stock jug should be almost the same.

              I haven't tried my Jug with the stock motor. I ran some numbers on eCalc and found that the 250 was more powerful and more efficient than the 180, so I changed out the motor.
              With the 250 and the same packs as my Pitts, spirited flight with a couple of unlimited verticals, I get 5 min. with a little to spare. WFO full flight you might get 4 min. period.

              Cheers!

                Thanks Rocket, that sounds reasonable to me, I usually shoot for the five minute mark.

                  Recently gave the UMX P-47 a makeover and thought I would share. She is really a fun flyer.

                      Nice. Good to see a micro get a makeover. I'm with FF from the picture it looks at least 1100mm. Great job.🤔
