In the video I unbox, fly it with onboard FPV footage via my Fatshark Dominator V3 FPV Goggles and review it after the flight for a comprehensive video about this plane. This plane could also be called the UMX F-27 Stryker FPV Flying Wing.
Here are my review notes:
Pros:
- Uses my favorite batteries
- Flies nice
- The take-off feature is great
- Handles wind well
- Has 150mw FPV system used by the Blade Torrent 110 FPV Racer
- Looks nice and has plastic protectors for belly landing
- Has new foam for added durability
Cons:
- The radio setup with my Spektrum DX6 was different than shown in the manual to shift between flight modes.
- Battery bay is too short to adjust for CG and nose heaviness
- The recommended settings for the take-off feature may cause some crashes.
- The camera arrived very dirty and has ok camera quality

Note: This is NOT the newly released E-flite F-27 Evolution BNF Basic. That is much larger and does not come with FPV gear installed.

Overview
The Blade Ultra Micro F-27 FPV BNF® Basic wing brings the excitement of FPV wing flying in a size that can be flown practically anywhere. Its lightweight Z-Foam™ airframe features impressive durability to handle bumps or bruises. Take advantage of built-in AS3X stabilization and SAFE technology for the comfort of envelope protection and self-leveling for a confidence-inspiring flight experience. The high-output brushless motor accepts 2S Li-Po batteries to suit mild or wild flying styles, and the 150mW VTX provides crisp, clear video in any environment. Bind-N-Fly® Basic completion level means all you have to do is simply add a 2S 280mAh battery and bind it to a compatible Spektrum™ transmitter.
SAFE® Technology Equipped Fight Modes
The F-27 is equipped with Horizon Hobby’s revolutionary flight control software, SAFE® Technology, allowing you to control your flight experience at the flick of a switch. The F-27 is outfitted with multiple flight modes making wing racing easy even for the first time pilot.
- Launch Mode: Provides self-leveling and a 10-degree rate of climb at full throttle. This makes launching a wing less difficult even if you are already in the FPV goggles. Just toss like a paper airplane and add full throttle. SAFE® technology takes care of the rest. No more awkward launches ending in a crash.
- Experienced Mode: Gives the pilot full control of the aircraft for high-speed racing and only stabilized with AS3X®.
150 mW Video Transmitter
The F-27 is equipped with the Spektrum™ 150mW video transmitter which is miniscule in size and more than enough for FPV exploring.
170 Degree Wide Angle FPV Lens
The camera is equipped with a wide angle lens allowing you to see the next obstacle with ease.
Brushless Motor Power
The 3000Kv brushless motor onboard delivers blisteringly fast speeds and is mounted to a fast disconnect mount allowing you to upgrade your motor in the field.
Indoor and Outdoor Capable
The size and flight characteristics of the F-27 give it the ability to be flown outdoors in spaces like backyards, smaller parks, and even indoor spaces like a basketball gym. SAFE technology and the brushless power system also allow this wing to handle light winds outside without issue.
