Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How long can I expect to fly on one charge?
A: Approximately 5–7 minutes—depending on wind and aggressiveness of maneuvers. Always land when battery voltage begins to drop.
Q2: Is the glow permanent?
A: The wing’s phosphorescent leading edges charge under sunlight or bright indoor light and typically glow for 15–20 minutes in low light before needing a recharge.
Q3: What wind conditions can it handle?
A: AS3X stabilization allows for stable flight in winds up to ~10 mph. In SAFE® Select or AS3X-off modes, limit to lighter winds (< 5 mph).

A: Yes—replacement wings, propellers, and receiver modules are available at PilotMall.com under “E-flite UMX Night Vapor Spare Parts.”
Q5: Do I need to update firmware?
