E-flite/Horizon Hobby UMX Habu 180

摘要

There are some really cool looking and incredibly fast electric jets out there, While I love the sound of a turbine, I can't always get out to the desert or to a club field that allows a turbine aircraft. Electric-ducted fan jets have been gaining ground at an incredible rate and are often seen pushing planes well over 200mph. Having reviewed quite a few electric jet models out there, I distinctly remember the Habu from E-flite; I literally opened the box at the flying field and had it in the air in minutes. (Note: I did already have a charged LiPo flight pack.) While it flew very well, the Habu was a bit too large to fly at my local park. Now the UMX Habu 180 has entered the stage, and this small Bind-N-Fly model offers big pilot fun. This is a Habu recreation that's smaller and has significant alterations and engineering incorporated into the design, Power, thrust, and stability are all increased, which couldn't have been achieved a few years ago with a jet this size. E-flite tossed out the rule book and made what seemed impossible a reality!
