Here are my review notes for this Ultra Micro E-flite Cirrus SR22T:

Pros:
- The looks and scale details overall
- This Ultra Micro Cirrus SR22T has nice bright lights
- A powerful 3600kv 2S Brushless motor
- It comes with a scale three bladed prop
- Carbon fiber spars running through the main wing and horizontal stabilizer
- It has a nice canopy with windows for FPV Flight
- The landing gear is removable for belly landing, but I would not recommend it with this three-bladed prop

Cons:
- The scrape on nose is hard to miss and overlook
- I am curious if the sloppy nose wheel is a design or manufacturing issue. Regardless, it has me concerned about its ground handling
- It would be nice to have servo protectors on the aileron servos

Please feel free to ask me any questions about this E-flite UMX RC Plane you may have and I will do my best to walk you through them. I will say this up front, this is no where near what you get our of a UMX Timber or UMX Pitts. Both are the gold standard to me for E-flite UMX RC Planes IMO.
