Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Already own a SpektrumT transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly and fly!
This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuring AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization-3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence so you enjoy a sense of stability and precision that makes it feel like you're flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft.
If this is your first model of its type, or you want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection technology built into the receiver. No programming is required.
With SAFE Select enabled, you get:
Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
- These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.
Automatic Self-Leveling
- The airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the center position. It's also helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.
Easy Switch Assignment-No Complex Programming Required
- The simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't require any complex programming and takes just a few seconds. For UMX models like this one, SAFE Select is automatically assigned to channel 5 (Gear) so you can turn it on and off with any switch assigned to that channel (switch A by default on most Spektrum computer transmitters).

Whilst the AS3X and SAFE Select systems make it more forgiving than aircraft without these features, complete beginners might find the setup process and flight envelope more challenging than true beginner aircraft. However, with careful instruction and practice, a dedicated beginner with support from an experienced pilot could learn to fly this aircraft.
- What battery does the UMX Conscendo need? — The aircraft requires a single 2S 7.4V or 3S 11.1V LiPo battery in the 280-300mAh capacity range with a JST-RCY connector. The 3S configuration provides more power and better performance, whilst the 2S offers slightly longer flight time and more docile handling. You'll also need a compatible LiPo charger capable of handling either 2S or 3S cells.
- What is the difference between this BNF Basic version and fully assembled alternatives? — This BNF (Bind-and-Fly) Basic version comes with all essential flight electronics pre-installed and ready to operate, requiring only a transmitter, battery, and charger to fly. It's more affordable than fully assembled RTF (Ready-to-Fly) versions that include transmitter and battery, whilst offering genuine performance and genuine flying capability. This version is ideal for pilots who already own a suitable Spektrum transmitter or who want to choose their own battery and charger specifications.
- Is the UMX Conscendo good for aerobatics? — Yes, absolutely. The UMX Conscendo delivers genuine aerobatic capability with responsive, precise control and sufficient power to perform loops, rolls, stalls, and other advanced manoeuvres. The optional flaperons and spoilerons further expand the aerobatic envelope, allowing experienced pilots to explore more complex flight patterns.
- Can I use this aircraft for soaring and thermal flying? — The UMX Conscendo is specifically designed for soaring applications as well as sport and aerobatic flying. Its efficient wing design, low weight, and forgiving flight characteristics make it excellent for exploiting thermals and ridge lift, delivering genuine performance comparable to dedicated soaring aircraft despite its compact ultra-micro size.
- Does this aircraft come with a transmitter? — No, the BNF Basic version does not include a transmitter. You'll need to provide your own full-range 5+ channel Spektrum DSMX or DSM2 compatible transmitter such as the Spektrum DXS, DXe, or DX8E. The aircraft will bind to any compatible Spektrum transmitter.
- What does the AS3X system do? — The Artificial Stability 3-Axis (AS3X) system uses a three-axis gyroscope to continuously monitor aircraft orientation and automatically make small control corrections to stabilise the aircraft across pitch, roll, and yaw axes. This makes the aircraft more stable in windy conditions and less prone to unwanted attitude changes, whilst still remaining fully responsive to pilot inputs.
- What is SAFE Select and how does it help? — SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) Select technology protects your aircraft from dangerous flight attitudes by monitoring sensor data and automatically preventing the aircraft from stalling or exceeding safe flight envelope limits. This provides peace of mind, particularly in challenging wind conditions or if you make aggressive control inputs.
