Drone Pilot flies the New UMX Timber X - Review

The E-Flite UMX Timber X is new on the market and super powerful for its size. It can do what many of the large planes can do since it has the latest technology and operates on a 3S Lipo to power the brushless motor.

I’m looking forward to the drone pilot to airplane pilot series, that’s a great idea! Your channel is always fun and educational!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@sheiladavis2304]

Awesome as always Steve. I started to get into the RC planes before getting sick and all that time in the hospital. I kinda lost the spark but watching this video got me excited again. Just not sure I can afford this one. It's been a rough go lately. My plane is a little banggood special with the rear facing prop and came with a controller but the dream is to upgrade about to something like this.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Sounds like you have the correct plane to get into the hobby.

[@Kev50027]

You might want to check out the UMX Turbo Timber if you're new to the hobby, its a little cheaper and easier to fly than this version. It can still do similar tricks, but just has less control authority, so its less twitchy and less likely to stall. Whatever you do, be sure to practice using a simulator first! There are free apps for your phone that work well to get you used to flying away vs towards yourself.

[@theNEWTful]

Lost track of how many scratch built balsa models I made….would fly them until they were so oil soaked they’d fall apart…lol. Those were the days.

[@kevinmaxwellwilkin4915]

Pretty good flying for a drone guy ! Keep them coming love the airplane content

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks, will do!

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Video! Nice RC Plane! Thank You For Sharing It With Us.

[@saramadu204]

Steve, You have got lots of improvements in your rc plane flying! Well done!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks 👍

[@BillKisel]

I have RC ground vehicles, a camera drone and a few RC planes. Mostly fly the planes but all are a lot of fun. I am also looking forward to your series of planes for drone pilots.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you. I hope to post the first of many within the next weeks.

[@irgtk]

Looking forward to the flying series. If you use the same format as the intro to FPV’s it will no doubt be a thorough and comprehensive flying introduction. I am a camera and FPV (DJI) drone guy, no RC plane or helicopter experience. Thank you Captain! 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@adamadamski1650]

This is the best channel about my hobbys :) Thanks for a next episode 👍

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@lenny78ful]

Nice footage!! Flying is fun. Looking forward to the new content. You make piloting look easy!!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thank you!

[@stivosaurus]

I was actually wondering about RC planes the other day. As a noobie drone pilot, I know even less about RC planes, so I am looking forward to this series.

[@davidrivero7943]

Very nice Capi & you got marbles for a Maiden in such conditions. A gifted Eflite B17 was taxied in the driveway , rear wheel came up & so i rotated ( after 20 yrs of non fixed wings ) before i smacked into a closed gate. Landing was far from stellar but , what a thrill. Long rant sorry😬 but , we all have to challange ourselfs one day or another.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That is what I'm learning... Take offs, and flight are not too difficult but landings are just a controlled crash.

[@kenkeng5824]

Thanks Capt. I need more ways to have my wife yelling about tech purchases.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I know what you mean :-)

[@eugeneaustin]

i'm the same Steve turning to Helecopter's /plane's because some time's where we fly can't get GPS. so nice plane good review keep them coming.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks! I do RC daily and having the ability to do the entire spectrum of the RC hobby (drones, helicopters, planes, cars, boats) makes everyday super exciting.

[@julius0kpanachi852]

sir can u review the sjrc f11s 4k pro drone and the f11s 4kpro drone????

[@wa389]

Enjoyed the video, may consider as a park flier.

[@dronepilot260rc]

I'm a drone guy but flying wings and planes are my new love now 😁 Carbon Cub S2 was my learning plane with no gyro. After a few crashes I got the hang of it and now I have over 20 planes 🙃

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Carbon Cub is a nice plane

[@Falasi4]

That is a sweet little plane! Used to do planes but never had anything that flies that nice and messing with the finicky gas engines kind of took the fun out of it - and smashed them all didn't help LOL... Really enjoying camera droning - nice pics/video, relaxing flying, can zoom around in sport and just hit RTH when done and have it come back in one piece!

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks 👍

[@lynsmith1096]

Good video and look forward to your learn airplane pilot skills.

[@jimanderson4865]

Hi Steve.......Nice little plane to fly. Really liked the flaperon feacher. Was the rudder functional as well? I got my start into the RC hobby flying planes. Used the K&B .40 cu glo plug motor to start out with. I soloed on my 5th flight after 4 flights with a buddy box system. I sure was shaking after the first solo landing.....LOL....Maybe talk about the buddy box system how it's used for training.........Looking forward to this series.....👍

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

The plane in this video has fully functional surfaces including rudder. The technology today will make your hands shake much less as there are different types of stability assist.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Nice colors i like it enjoy the week

[@amoswolfe7122]

I love this rc plane content. Can you please build a flite test tutor in the future?

[@masonsdronefilms]

Great Plane Flying skills lol your really good at driving and flying anything there is👍👍

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Thanks 👍

[@dronepilot260rc]

Once you get hooked. The FMS zero 1100mm is a great flying plane. I try to fly it everyday when I can 😎🤙

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I'll add it to my list of planes I should check out

[@ModernDayTemplar606]

Very nice flying Captain I look forward to learning more.

[@rubinhodrone9204]

Muito bom amigo Bom dia Passando pra prestigiar aquele super like 😉✌👍

[@TheRyaninspokane]

Love your video. I started in terrestrial rc and now I'm a fly boy. I could use suggestions for fpv setups for umx planes. I have the turbo the x and the pitts. I would like a digital system for sharing the video.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Love the Pitts. That is one of my goto planes.

[@scottthomas8136]

Thanks Steve. Another great and entertaining video.

[@dbradx]

What a cool little plane, and another awesome review as always Cap'n!

[@ramsandrzr3706]

Cool plane I have been thinking more and more about getting my first plane I was looking at some of eachine planes with stability control. Anyway cool video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DadsRCHangar]

Great to see you flying planes as well, be interesting to see how you get everyone to join the dark side 👍🏻😎

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Ha ha... since drone pilots already have some of the necessary skills, the transition is not too hard.

Thanks for a great video. I'm new to this and just bought this airplane but not made my first flight with it yet. I have tried to find this model in Real Flight sim 9.5 but haven't been able to find it but do some sim training with similare plane before I do my first test. Looking forward to see your next videos.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If I'm not mistaken, I thought I saw the 2S version of this Timber in the Real Flight 9.5, or my memory is playing tricks on me. Very easy and forgiving RC plane to fly, you'll have no issues.

[@peterhou4998]

Thank you for the review. Another great video.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rosaofprague]

I would not recommend this plane for beginners. This plane is really cool as the second plane after you mastered your first one.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Oh, I’m a beginner but I have a drone (camera & FPV background), which gives me an advantage.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Good evening captain cool review nice plane

[@Tallguysrc]

Good to see you doing both :)

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I started with camera gps drones, then went to FPV drones, then went to RC Cars & RC Boats, then went to RC Helicopters & this year I've gone to RC Planes.

[@bobbylefebvre6298]

Fly's pretty good

[@MammothPaige]

Nice to see you with a RC plane.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I am certainly enjoying RC Planes!

[@moemaster1966]

I’m interested in the long range FPV like the parrot disco type craft ….. something that can go 30km or farther…see things only pilots see but most everyone else doesn’t….

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Watch my review of the ZMO and my review of the SWAN K1 PRO

Thank you!

[@hubschenk1652]

a pilot is a pilot - regardless of whether it's a drone or an airplane 😂

[@vonheise]

You didn't mention the rudder, do you turn with the ailerons alone or is there a rudder control to keep it at altitude? I did RC planes when they were really expensive, not not in recent years. I do wish they had some form of camera for some reason...

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Rudder works as well.

[@sheiladavis2304]

PS. I tried clicking the arrow for a link to where you got it and how much. But the info wasn't there.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

I add a few links so one should work

[@marcinmichalak7001]

Dear Captain Drone, off the topic, Why dose the Mavic 3 have more then 20mp camera? It has a bigger sensor so is the lens only bigger? Cheers

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Everything is small on the mini 3. Think of a small action camera, that is what is on the mini 3. On small sensors, like on the mini 3, companies like DJI pack in tons of pixels because people who are not photographers think that more megapixels means better.

[@philkennedy1105]

Steve I’ve the first umx timber and that’s got flaps I think they should have flaps on this too there way better 👍🏻👍🏻 think I’m getting the dji mini 3 with rc screen I like how you can just turn on and be flying and not mess about with phone 👍🏻👍🏻 aww and do you sell yer stickers but I’m in uk you stay well matey yer sorted 👍

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Phil, the Timber X is amazing compared to the original UMX Timber. It has Flapperons (few more flight options with this) and the 3S power turns it into a power house. Mini 3 with RC screen makes life so much easier. Currently I do not my stickers, but plan to do so in future.

[@philkennedy1105]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 thanks Steve I might buy that plane then specially with it being 3s will have some power to do crazy stuff lol 👍👍👍

[@alexherrera3918]

what is the wind speed?

[@mad547s8]

Hey Captain got a question for ya… I found this deal that looks like a pretty good deal. So I found a GoPro Karma drone that works with no issues, but it is used, the price is $100 is this a good deal?

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

If it works, sure.

[@fernxtwo]

What's that weird sound in the last scene? Interference from remotes or motors? Sounds like a poltergeist to me.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That is called “stability”… the plane does not like to be none horizontal and is trying to flip itself horizontal as I hold it vertical.

[@Brez1969]

Great video, but I'm waiting on my pro3 to come, I'm flying my mini2, I'm boycotting all your videos except drones, I can't afford to get into planes now😉🤥

Not you too!! Now you’re also one of those that title their videos speaking in third person of themselves? “Pilot (me) goes flying bla bla…” “Dentist (himself) reacts to this…” “Cop (the same guy) reacts to beatings…” LOL! Just pulling your leg bro.

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

That is my NEW series.... You'll see it for all plane reviews for the simple reason I'm a DRONE pilot who recently learned how to fly RC Planes, so I fly them from a drone perspective. You'll learn more about that as you watch more of them.
