Let me know if you would like me to review the E-flite UMX Twin Otter on this channel.

Here are my Review Notes:

Cons:
Fragile compared to many RC Planes.
Not easily transportable like previous UMX planes because it doesn't easily go back into its box.
Brushed motor, but it is still powerful for what it is.

Pros
Handles stiff and swirling winds pretty well.
Good slow speed handling.
Performs loops well.
Powered unlike the UMX Whipit Sailplane.
Good flight times.
Fun & Relaxing like Tim mentions in the video!

All I can say is that the UM Radian or Baby Radian is something I am pretty impressed with so far with this Ultra Micro RC Plane. Who knew a UMX Glider could be this cool?!?!?

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this RC Sailplane otherwise known as the Ultra Micro Radian BNF:

"NOW EVEN EASIER TO FLY
The UMX™ Radian® ultra-micro motor glider became a class favorite by delivering a unique flying experience you simply can't get from any other model. Due to its traditional motor glider design, the Radian is inherently stable and easy to fly almost anywhere — indoors in gymnasiums and other suitable spaces, and outdoors in most yards, parks and sports fields. The exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® technology of its installed electronics smooths out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. E-flite® engineers upgraded this new version to include optional-use SAFE® Select technology, making the Radian even easier for more people to fly in more places. Plus, you can receive real-time battery voltage telemetry with compatible transmitters! It's the perfect next step after learning to fly, a great first glider and an exciting everyday sport model for a wide variety of pilots.

UPDATED FOR ULTRA-SMOOTH SOARING
The ever-popular UMX™ Radian® has been updated and upgraded so it's even easier and more fun to fly than before! The ultra-micro motor glider now includes exclusive Spektrum™ optional-use SAFE® Select technology and provides real-time battery voltage telemetry to compatible transmitters. This Bind-N-Fly® Basic model arrives factory-assembled and nearly flight-ready right out of the box. Simply install the one-piece wing with a few screws, install a charged battery, bind it to your compatible Spektrum transmitter and fly. Advanced EPS construction provides a lightweight yet durable airframe. The distinctive, gracefully curved polyhedral wing and efficient airfoil deliver outstanding soaring performance and long flight times with or without motor power. The factory-installed power system features a coreless motor, gearbox and an efficient folding propeller. It produces excellent climb performance and extends flight times up to 10-20+ minutes with a mix of power on/off flying using 1S 150-200mAh batteries. Because of its ultra-micro size, the UMX Radian can be flown indoors in gymnasiums and other suitable spaces, or outdoors pretty much anywhere — in most yards, parks, sports fields and beyond! If you learned to fly with a HobbyZone® Sport Cub S, you can use the same transmitter, battery and charger and make the Radian an economical next step. It's an ideal first glider or everyday sport model for low-time to experienced pilots interested in an easy to fly, ultra-micro class motor glider that delivers a unique flying experience!"
