Micro RC Airplanes have come a long way in the past couple of years. While the first generation of indoor planes are definitely cool, they are nothing like the larger RC planes that perform all the cool stunts and manuevers at the flying field.
Until recently, micro planes were basically scaled down versions of a typical backyard flyers which are fun, but can't perform the kind of precision aerobatics we enjoy with our larger planes.
Horizon Hobby teamed up with Spektrum and designed tiny DSM2 micro receivers with two integrated linear servos all weighing less than 4 grams. These two servos operate the elevator and rudder while two separate linear servos are used for the ailerons. This makes it possible for absolutely tiny micro RC airplanes to have fully functioning 4-channel control. Something we haven't seen up until now.
These little guys are perfect for those of us with Spektrum or JR radios. All you have to do is Bind and Fly! You can be in the air in the time it takes to charge the battery.
UMX stands for Ultra Micro Extreme! These little guys provide maximum aerobatic performance from rolling circles, loops, and snap rolls, to aileron rolls, spins and inverted flight, you name it... We can finally use our local gymnasiums or backyards to work on sharpening those aerobatic maneuvers that we strive to perfect at the flying field with our larger planes!
No more waiting for the weekends to sharpen our flying skills. We can fly these guys any time anywhere. Transform the parking lot into a landing strip during your lunch break!
Because they are so light, they can handle a lot more abuse than larger airplanes. And did I mention they are much cheaper than full size RC airplanes? Now you don't have to mortgage your house to become a great pilot!

If you like slow flyers, there are a couple of 3-channel ultra micro planes for a very modest price. I love my night vapor, the bats like to chase it as well! Thankfully they haven't caught it yet...
