Micro FPV Vapor RTF from Horizon Hobby

Gary Mortimer

Is this just not the cutest FPV setup around! Very little chance of getting into much bother only being able to fly on the calmest of days and reasonably short distance. I know one group of aerial photographers in the UK that might well go large for these at their annual post task debrief sessions (you know who you are)

If you’ve ever imagined yourself in the pilot seat of a great flying RC airplane, the E-flite® FPV Vapor® model can make your dream a reality. Poised at the optimal point on the aircraft, a tiny video camera sends full-color, real-time action back to you on the ground. The view is so immersive that you’ll feel as though you’re actually sitting in the pilot’s seat of the model airplane. Plus, the FPV Vapor ultra micro aircraft is small enough to enjoy in many large indoor spaces, such as a gymnasium or even outdoors in your own backyard. The ultra-lightweight design, combined with its efficient motor system, allows the airplane to have outstanding handling even when it’s flown at slow speed. Which means you can experience First-Person View Flight virtually anytime and anyplace.

You can have the Ready-To-Fly version up in the time it takes to charge the batteries. The Spektrum™ VS1100 ultra micro FPV system is fully installed on the airframe and a Fat Shark Teleporter V4 headset is included. The only thing you have to do to experience FPV flight is charge the batteries.

Fully Assembled Airplane
The UMX FPV Vapor features a completely built, flight ready airframe that’s ultra-lightweight with film-covered carbon fiber construction and modular components that make any necessary repairs easy to complete. The airplane comes equipped with an all-in-one Spektrum 3-channel DSMX receiver/ESC/servo unit.

FPV System
The UMX FPV Vapor has the Spektrum™ ultra micro FPV camera already installed. It’s a 2-in-1 camera/transmitter unit that features a circular polarized antenna for superior range performance and is powered off the E-flite ultra micro 150mAh 1S 3.7V 25C Li-Po flight battery included.

FPV Headset
The RTF version of the UMX FPV Vapor includes the feature rich Fat Shark Teleporter V4 FPV headset. Worn like a set of goggles, inside the headset is a pair of full-color QVGA 320 x 240 LCD displays that receive a wide field of view from the camera onboard the Vapor FPV. The included 5.8GHz SpiroNET circular polarized antenna system has amazing reception. Best of all, the Teleporter V4 FPV headset includes 2-axis digital head tracking that senses your head movement to deliver an even more immersive view point.

Flight Transmitter
The RTF version includes a 4-channel 2.4GHz transmitter with Spektrum™ DSMX® technology that delivers fully proportional throttle, elevator and rudder control.

Batteries and Chargers
The RTF version of the UMX Vapor FPV includes all the batteries you need to fly as soon as possible, including the AAs for the transmitter. The Fat Shark Teleporter V4 headset operates from a 760mAh 2S 7.4V Li-Po battery for long play times and can be recharged using the included AC charger. Both the aircraft and airborne FPV system operate from the same ultra micro 150mAh 1S 3.7V 25C Li-Po battery that can be recharged with the included USB 1S Li-Po charger.

Motor & Propeller
The proven UMX Vapor FPV micro electric drive features a brushed 6.0mm coreless motor that’s geared to efficiently power a 140mm x 45mm propeller. The transparent propeller allows the image quality to be less obstructed.
