Here are my Review Notes for this E-flite UM EDF Citation Jet:

Pros:
- Lots of lights all over it
- 3S Brushless Twin 30mm EDF's
- Chromed out plastic on the EDF inlets
- Plastic bits on the wingtips
- I will use it as a nice warm-up jet, perfect to slide into my car on the days I fly big jets like the E-flite Su-30 EDF Jet.

Cons:
- Dented foam on the main wing
- One of the mains was bent out of the box, but easily fixable
- Some glue leaked onto the silver part of the chromed out plastic on the EDF inlets

This is how Horizon Hobby describes this Ultra Micro Jet:

Designed to redefine the super-midsize private jet segment, the E-flite UMX Cessna Citation Longitude is expected to revolutionize business travel by offering more range (up to 3500 nautical miles) while carrying greater payloads at higher cruise speeds (up to 550+ MPH). The E-flite UMX (Ultra Micro eXtreme) Citation Longitude is an officially-licensed scale replica of the icon in the making that redefines performance for ultra micro class EDF jets by being the most powerful model in its class yet. With 3S-compatible 30mm EDF power systems, a scale outline and trim scheme, plus functional features including a full-flying stab and LED lights along with exclusive AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, it offers a unique and exciting twin EDF experience — in a size that makes it possible to fly a jet in more places and smaller spaces including at soccer fields, football fields and large parks!

The E-flite UMX (Ultra Micro eXtreme) Citation Longitude makes it easier for more pilots to enjoy a unique and exciting twin EDF jet experience in more places than ever before! Equipped with 3S-compatible brushless outrunner motors and 30mm fans, the UMX Citation Longitude offers more speed and vertical performance than other ultra micro class EDF jet models – and longer-than-average flight times when using the recommended 3S 800mAh LiPo batteries (sold separately). It’s less complex and easier to fly than larger EDF models, and because it’s equipped with exclusive AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies, it’s a great choice for your first or next twin-powered jet. It has a scale outline and trim scheme that are officially-licensed by Cessna, plus functional features including a full-flying stab and LED navigation and landing lights. Take off from and land on smooth surfaces using the included landing gear with a steerable nosewheel, or quickly and easily remove the landing gear for launching by hand and landing on grass. With its convenient ultra micro size the UMX Citation Longitude Twin 30mm EDF is right at home at a wide variety of suitably-sized sites including soccer fields, football fields, large parks, and RC flying fields. Best of all it arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to bind to a compatible 5+ channel Spektrum DSMX/DSM2 equipped transmitter so you can be flying within minutes of opening the box that can also be used for safe and convenient storage and transport!"

I will update this with more information in the near future and look forward to my Unboxing and Flight Videos for this plane and the Durafly Tundra V2 PNF 1300mm Sports Model w/Flaps.
