What do you get when one of the RC's greatest aerobatic pilots collaborates with one of full-scale aviation's greatest aircraft designers? The Beast - an aerobatic powerhouse that more than lives up to its name.
The full-scale Beast is the brainchild of renowned aircraft restoration expert, Kevin Kimball. The brute power of its 410 hp engine combined with the finesse of its incredible 370 degree/second roll rate make it one of the most formidable aerobatic planes ever created. What makes the Beast story so interesting is that RC aerobatic champ and Hangar 9 product developer Quique Somenzini actually collaborated with Mr. Kimball and company on the full-scale plane's design. Quique drew on this experience to create a licensed 100cc reproduction for Hangar 9 as well as this Ultra Micro eXtreme version. And he has done so with the full cooperation of Mr. Kimball as well as Beast pilot and owner Bryan Jensen and Mirco Pecorari, who designed the full-scale plane's trim scheme.
It's just one more reason the UMX Beast is an ultra micro experience unlike any other.
