Default E-flite UMX PT-17 Stearman Unboxing, Review, and Maiden Flight

Hey guys!

These videos are for the E-flite UMX PT-17 Stearman with AS3X Technology. I talk about my first impressions of this plane and do some demonstrations with it, including take it on its maiden flight with John behind the camera and his son Will cheering me on.

Here are my flight review notes:

Cons:
- Rudder was out of trim pretty bad out of the box.
- Aileron rolls are not an option stock out of the box.
- I needed to add down elevator per flight reports of others to make sure this flew correctly, which it did after that adjustment.

Pros:
- It is very detailed and scale.
- Has plenty of power for a 1S plane.
- It performs loops with ease.

Complete Review:

I let my flying mentor do a flight review with my new UMX PT-17 and it turned out great!

Looks like a nice flyer and you had great weather for it.

It really is a nice little flyer. It goes faster than I show in that video too. It just easier to capture on camera going a little slower
