R/C JET UMX Habu 180 DF BNF Basic

The Habu line of edf jets has been an incredible success for Horizon Hobby (Parkzone and E-flite). All versions of the Habu (up until this point) have flown incredibly well … and how would I know? I have reviewed all of them for RCGroups.

It came as no surprise to me that Horizon Hobby and E-flite would introduce a UMX version of the Habu given the success of their other UMX aircraft, their first UMX jet (the MiG 15), and the other Habu airframes. I was very interested in reviewing the UMX Habu 180 DF BNF Basic with AS3X Technology to see how it compared to its big brothers. If it turned out to be anything like them I knew I would be in for a great looking and flying UMX jet aircraft that could be flown at smaller fields, parks, or an indoor facility.
