Default RE: E-flite Ultimate FX


You guys are definitely right about the 450. My LHS told me that it would rocket out of a hover, but I didn't experience that when I gunned the throttle from a hover. Although it does pull out of a hover, it doesn't power out hard like some might think.

You guys are also right about the 450 lasting for only 5 to 6 minutes. I'm definitely annoyed about that. It takes me an hour to charge up for a 5 minute flight with my 1100mah 3Cell Lipo. I'm debating whether or not to buy a higher capacity lipo, but that would mean more weight.

Either way, I'm pretty impressed with how easy the UltimateFX hovers. Just curious, do any you hover gas airplanes? I have a Funtana 90 that I'm dying to hover, but I want to make sure I'm ready for the transition. Would you think hovering a 90 size 3D plane would be just as easy? Thanks everyone

Hey Chris,

I know you opted to buy a 400 outrunner to extend the flight time, but what do you think about a higher capacity lipo instead?
