E-flite UMX Conscendo overview and full transmitter setup

My E-flite UMX Conscendo is finally here!
And as I had a bit of spare time, along with the unboxing and overview of the plane I also wanted to do something I've been thinking about for a while: a guide on how I set up my Spektrum BNF planes.
It came out a bit long but I hope it can help someone, especially if you want to set up flaperons and spoilerons on this plane, or basically almost any other Horizon BNF airplane, UMX or not.
To help find what you're interested in I've added chapters:
00:00 Intro
01:03 Unboxing
04:55 Battery options
06:10 Assembly
08:54 Creating a new model
10:20 Model name
10:32 Aircraft type
10:45 Change aircraft icon
11:18 Dual rates and expo
13:50 Throttle cut
14:30 Binding
16:00 Control surface check
16:20 Checking SAFE functionality
16:50 Changing SAFE switch
17:46 Activate flaperons and spoilerons
20:47 Range test
21:18 Audio events (callouts)
25:10 Timer alerts
26:12 Measuring center of gravity
27:35 Checking CG
28:00 Thanks!

Thank you so much! I had to watch how to activate the flaperon/spoileron setup. You made very simple to understand. I do feel the manuals setting is inaccurate on the Flap setting. The 45% flap was right, but they call for -17% elevator. On my NX-10, I had to do (positive) 17% to get the elevator to go down to counter the nose up tendency when lowering the flaps. This plane is amazing! Thanks again!

I'm glad it helped, I don't usually do this type of video but I felt this one is a bit more confusing to set up. It is great, I really enjoy mine. Thanks for watching!

Good day everyone. For people using EdgeTX radio like TX16S or Zorro. Here the set up: Protocol : Mode=Multi / Type=DSM / Subtype=X 2F Inputs: channel 1-4=AETR / Channel 5= Safe-AS3X / Channel 6=Flaperon - Follow flaperon Advance setup in the manual to activate it on ur TX, it works well. Hope it helps some of you. Have fun and more flight powerrrr. 😊

Thanks, and I'm glad if it helps. I did forget to show control surface adjustment, didn't look like it needed it but I did it after the first flight, one aileron was a bit off. Enjoy your new plane and if you have any questions let me know, I'm not an expert but I do like helping out when I can.

Thanks Randy, I may not be Brian Philips but if it helps someone I'll be happy. I did the maiden, but only 2s for now, I can tell it's a great plane, waiting for 3s to really see what it can do.

Hi Alex, Noel here in Oz. Do you have the Mobius 808 32 17 gram HD camera? This would be perfect for the UmX & i will use it on mine when it arrives.

On a good day i cant get close to hour long flights gliding on a single pack and climb (just riding thermals). Seems that you could maybe get a little longer flight times if you disabled asx and safe and were good at riding thermals, however with asx activated during glinding a hour is all i get while gliding before the servos drain the battery to around 7.2 v. I use about have that deflection with flaps and use it just for a little extra lift when in thermals. Spoilerons are a must if you intentend to ride thermals or wind as the model is so light, you can loose it to the elements . Great little plane. Flight times of 30 plus minutes riding thermals is easy.

I just tried it a few days ago for the first time, it was a bit windy and I would just climb then glide it down, got to 29 minutes of flight time. It was fun, if I tried harder I probably could have gotten more.

Hi, nice video! Thank you! Do you know how to get rid of this battery telemetry alert with non-Spektrum batteries?

@A.M.-RC 5 ай бұрын

Thanks, I'm always happy if I can help. If you mean the alert not charged for flying when you power it up, go to telemetry > smart battery > startup volts min and set it to something lower, like 4.00 volts. It doesn't matter what battery you use, Spectrum in this size are not smart either, it just reads the voltage and usually it's a bit lower than 4.2 per cell. I think it's still a good feature to have, set as I said around 4 volts, if you fly multiple batteries and take a discharged one by mistake it will let you know.

Thank you for your answer 👍🏻 the problem is I have this alarm Even if my battery is fully loaded 🤔

@A.M.-RC 5 ай бұрын

@@xorlevrai before you fly, right after you plug it in, right? If so try what I mentioned above, it happens to me sometimes also, some chargers might not be perfectly calibrated so they say battery is full but maybe it's 4.18V not 4.2, or maybe the sensor inside the plane.
