Here are my review notes for this UMX Micro Tundra:

Pros:
- Very easy assembly
- Chrome Spinner is supplied on the Durafly Baby Tundra
- Comes with floats & water rudder
- 2S HVLipo compatible
- Flaps installed

Cons:
- Cutting the plastic
- The motor is a little louder than I expected, but I am being nit picky about it.
- The paint on the foam wheels comes off easy in use, but are easily touched up with a sharpie.

This is how Hobbyking describes this plane:

First, we had the Tundra which took the modeling world by storm, then because "bigger is better" this was followed by the Grand Tundra which also proved to be immensely popular. Now we have "small is beautiful" and as quoted by Ernst F. Schumacher, "It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction". The petite Micro Tundra, its small size makes it great for "Back Yard Bush Flying".

The Micro Tundra is available in 2 color schemes, either the "Classic Green" or the slightly more outrageous and colorful "Graffiti". Both look great on the ground and in the air and can be flown with either a standard wheeled U/C or with floats and water rudder, both versions are supplied in the box.

The Micro Tundra comes in the usual Durafy Plug N Fly format so it has the motor, ESC, and 6 micro servo's pre-installed, these also include pre-fitted pushrods. You will require either a 5/6ch micro receiver with Molex 1.25 connectors or a 5/6ch micro receiver with standard JR type connectors and then use the supplied adaptors. The Micro Tundra has working flaps which are unusual for such a small model, they are really helpful and great fun for landing in tight places. The large main wheels finish off the Tundra look and enable it to easily take off and land on most surfaces. Swap the wheels for the supplied floats and the tailwheel for the water rudder and ponds, streams and other small waterways become your playground.

Assembly is very straightforward and quick, literally, 5 self-tapping screws hold it together so you can be flying within minutes of opening the box. The Micro Tundra is great fun to fly and being small and agile can be flown in very small areas including indoor venues. It is perfect to sit on the rear parcel shelf of your car and be ready to fly just about anywhere. For those with a bit of initiative, it is small enough to almost hide away from the wife in the holiday suitcase!
