Designed by aerobatic world champion Quique Somenzini, the Ultra Micro eXtreme (UMX) Beast® is a
thrilling small-scale recreation of one of the most awe inspiring airplanes on the airshow circuit today.
And, like the full-scale Beast, it delivers high-powered aerobatic excitement that will put a grin on the
face of any intermediate to experienced RC pilot.
At the heart of its phenomenal performance is a brushless motor, propeller and battery combination
that delivers a spine tingling thrust-to-weight ratio. This incredible power output, combined with its
well-balanced controls and carbon reinforced wing, allow the UMX Beast to achieve a level of precision
and performance that has more in common with its giant-scale Hangar 9® twin than any ultra micro
you’ve flown before.
