This is the E-flite UMX Whipit DLG Bind-N-Fly Basic Electric Airplane. Catching a thermal from a hand launched glider with no other energy source involved is one of the most satisfying experiences a modeler can have. Previously, this was an experience reserved for expert modelers. The E-flite UMX Whipit brings this satisfaction to everyone, regardless of experience level.
Like the popular high-performance competition discus-launch gliders, this ultra micro glider features carbon fiber for strength. The wing is removable for easy storage and is reinforced for right or left handed launches. A protective pod cover easily reveals the simple two-channel Spektrum DSMX control system and battery. With just a single 150mAh 1S Li-Po battery you can expect long flight times either in your backyard, a local park or just about anywhere you want to harness the power of the wind.
