E-flite Turbo Timber - A Bush Plane for the People | HobbyView

[@MrPeacefulninja]

Probably the best commentary by an American ever. No bullshit. No over the top showmanship. Impeccable English , accurate description and honest critical appraisal. I really look forward to more reviews by this gentleman.

[@moosebrain]

Hands down the BEST review of this plane. Thank you!

[@w.j.bendellr.c.flying.1037]

You did a fantastic and thorough job on the turbo timber. “Great Revenue” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@bufftammy735]

This guy takes reviews to another level. Detailed, awesome descriptions, and still a decent amount of comedy so it's watchable. A lot of reviewers purely focus on details and are hard to watch, like sitting in a classroom.

[@timhouser7878]

I think I enjoy watching you enjoy the flying as much as I enjoy the flying.

[@danyel9256]

As always...so relaxing to watch and no unnecessary flight footage. All enjoying en information , thanks. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@vanguardactual1]

I totally agree and could not have said it better. Great Subject and Videos Sir.

flingerwinger the only one actually

[@p-51player13]

PickzFN yeah for real

[@tonezmusic8758]

This is the most thorough, educational, comical, and everything you would want in a review. Thank you so much for this awesome gem of a review!!

[@prevostmiller9745]

Excellent review. Very informative. I wish more reviews would be done in this fashion!

[@TheCJFrench]

I have to say, I've never made a model airplane nor do I have plans to. But I've been watching your videos non-stop. You have such a soothing voice and your enthusiasm for you hobby is a joy to watch. I have to tell you, that your videos have really been giving me a lot of peace during these crazy times. Thank you for making them, I wish you nothing but the best!

[@StephenRosenbach]

Beautiful review, your narration was excellent and even entertaining, and you had zero fat in the video, which I really appreciate. Thank you so much!

[@raoulduke2625]

I was raised in Alaska around wonderful Bush airplanes . Beautiful representation (those oversized tundra tires!) Great Job! Love your channel

[@Dave-eg2pc]

Your voice is perfect for this kind of thing! This is your calling! you should do how to videos for companies for sure!! I think you could make watching paint dry sound interesting and informant! Good job!!

[@jeffhenderson3318]

I started out 4 years ago with the Apprentice 15s as my first real RC plane. Within a few months I purchased the Timber 1.5 and the Timber UMX. After 3 high wing, taildraggers I thought I was ready to move on and just thank Horizon Hobby and E Flite for getting me started, no bad crashes, and 3 planes that were great for beginners. When the Turbo and X came out, I was thinking, “Been there, done that...” Wasn’t planning on ordering either of the new Timbers. Well... I converted both the Apprentice and the Timber 1.5 to float planes and decided the Turbo could be a great float plane. My Turbo has never had the landing gear installed. Strictly a Float Plane. Just the best! Being able to go from 3s to 4s, easy to fly, easy to land. All 3 of my float planes are fun, but the Turbo is just the best. So well balanced, lots of power with the 4 cell, takes off within 5-10 feet. Learn to fly with the Apprentice, then purchase the Turbo as you 2nd plane. When you outgrow the Turbo, put the floats on and you’ll have it for years.

[@richardmestas8549]

I really enjoyed your narration. Great job pilot.

[@DanN-hp9lj]

Good no frills relaxing review, you remind of nature documentary commentator...cool, Im going to add this plane to my little fleet now, I already have the umx turbo timber.

[@KAREKINFPV]

Your videos are great! I love your happy dry personality.

[@jeffhenderson934]

I’ve had the Turbo for a couple of years. 3 flights on wheels the rest on floats. It’s about as perfect a plane ever made. I put it up there with the Conscendo Evolution as far as stress-free, fun flying. Usually when I get a plane and like it, I’ll buy a second and keep it in the box. Didn’t do it the Turbo. Other than replacing the leading slats (my fault. Pickup truck bed loading error) and both neoprene screws, (not sure other than constantly removing the wing to store) it still looks brand new. I’ll have a Turbo Timber as long as I’m in the sport.

[@CV_CA]

Thanks for posting. On mine I installed a switch and moved the gear forward because after landing on grass I often tipped over. I am very happy with it now.

[@insurancemann1]

Your reviews are always some of my favorites. Great flying and excellent camera work.

[@ManAndMachine23]

Love My Turbo Timber,Its with me every time I go out to the field,Great plane!!

[@nscalewunderland]

Awesome review. Best RC plane review video I've ever seen. Your high-end production value is what makes this stellar! Well done! And your voice is blockbuster worthy! I am considering getting this as my first big plane ... I have the UMX turbo timber now and love it. Question: What battery size and brand are you using in this plane? Thanks again!

[@mikkeya3808]

That is a nailed landing alright.....you even drove in the nail for good measure. :) Nice video.

[@AustNRail]

Love your work . From Sydney Australia.

[@AerospaceMatt]

Loved the Star Trek references!

[@onazram1]

Very nicely done... you just sold me this plane..!

[@kenmunn4421]

Very nice narration. I have one myself, good flying plane. Have not tried the floats yet.

[@BRIANFORWARD1]

Good informative VID. And a nice guy who doesn't take it to serious plus a good pilot Brian London

[@roythurston7799]

That was a very nice review.. you covered every aspect of the timber in depth. Looks like it would make a great trainer

[@billjonesnation]

Great review. I really like your idea of using hot glue to test out the slats. I also don't want to permanently install them on my turbo timber. I just got my timber flying yesterday and love it!

[@hawkeye1019]

Thanks this was the best review so far and has me sold at this point gotta get a timber turbo like yesterday!

[@alnieves2505]

Thank You brother Walker, Great review, Great personality!!

[@elpiegrande3562]

Nice work- always the best reviews on KZbin.

[@timlawrence8952]

This is the first video I’ve seen by Fitz, well done!

[@brandonlee979]

Always enjoy your reviews. Well done!

[@RichardT2112]

12:46 nailed that landing! I see you were going for the weed whacker look and yup you nailed it! :)

[@HobbyView]

My mistake was throttling back up...

[@Blacknimbus887]

Great video!! For a really short field takeoff make sure to have the flaps set on the most minimal setting (10° in a Cessna) and then try and takeoff. The flaps will help get it off the ground as quickly as possible.

[@americanlawdawg3609]

That looks like Norton AFB.... I used to watch the RC planes there as a kid in the late 70s-early 80s..... I'd love to fly there some time. For now I'm limited with all this Arizona desert lol....... very nice plane, I think I may order tonight.

[@daveroche4527]

Good review I"ve been looking at the Turbo Timber for a while now and I think I"ll be ordering one in the morning.

[@rickyking7142]

Awesome review. Horizon owes you a sale as i just bought one thanks to your video! Keep it up, liked and subbed

[@davidpoling7748]

Sometimes I forget this is a serious review and just fall into an asmr trance. Rc therapy

[@jeffsloane8628]

Great video. Very well done. Thumbs up!

[@CrazyFastFlying]

Great video!! Bush planes are my favorite!! I don’t have the the timber, but I do have a Durafly Tundra which is awesome, but not as good as the turbo timber.

[@LO-xf2ho]

love it when a model flies like the prototype; it is a real STOL in every aspect!

[@heiser_bill]

Great review! You’re an excellent orator too! 😎

[@MasboyRC]

This is awesome !! It's looks like a real airplane

[@johnnyg3681]

EXCELLENT VIDEO. GREAT INFORMATION. I LOVE YOU VOICE AND YOUR FLYING...!!!

[@charlieholbrook4025]

Really enjoy your videos!!!

[@slugosrc1256]

Just flew mine, I love it! Rock on!

[@larrysouthern5098]

Great Video!!! I just started watching your videos and they are awesome .... You are a natural for this....nice Star Trek music....

[@rjwiderman]

Please create a how-to video on choosing and installing an inflight video camera on fixed wing systems like you used on this model. Thanks for your enthusiasm and instruction…you make this hobby loads of fun

[@jshrawder49]

Great review!!! Very entertaining!!

[@GLHS592]

What a great review! It was easy to understand and flowed well. I don’t think you missed anything. I can tell that you love the hobby. I am thinking about selling my original Timber to a fellow club member and buying this one. The 4s capability would be nice and it just looks cooler.

[@SternLX]

Kites really well with those slats on. Nice. This would make a great trainer.

[@godssoldier101]

i have the smaller version of this plane and its the most fun plane i own over all.. it does pretty much everything

[@tragedytrousers1769]

Great review!

[@ces308]

Nice review! Thanks ! 👍

[@jrichardjacobs34]

Thank you, sir. Interesting, entertaining, and informative. Think I might look into the Timber.

[@bama3dr608]

Great review! I like that you showed detailed mounting of the landing gear and floats. I've been thinking about getting one of these and was wondering how much trouble it would be to switch back and forth between landing gear and floats.

[@joesneon]

Just purchased one, great review!!!

[@Acheiropoietos]

I just love these STOL bush planes.

[@Cynocehali]

Awesome review. Well presented!

[@TheNatestEver]

Beat R/C reviews hands down. Happy New Years

[@HobbyView]

Thanks! Tell all your friends!

[@chefbink61]

WOW really nice review good job!!

[@f1matt]

oh man this plane looks fun

[@lukeludwick1707]

Great video!

[@philkennedy1]

One of the best reviews I’ve seen on this plane, it’s making me want one , I really love my tundra , and was walking by field I fly in other day a guy came out and gave me is piper cub so don’t need three similar flyers ? but thinking off getting rid of piper and tundra and getting one off these :)) you really have peaked my interest :) brill review 👍👍

[@anim8ted923]

Fun and informative. you're a great reviewer.

[@shannonshull6989]

great video, such a nice narration!

[@irishone716]

Another great video. Thank you!

[@IAMREIKI]

Helpful Thank You

[@richardmestas8549]

Late note, only dude I've seen mask the teeth on pliers! As a 32 year A&P I spotted that instantly aweeesome

[@michaelbrinkley9323]

Very nice video, fun to watch

[@txracer1636]

Looks like your are flying at Johnson Space Center. Where on the water were you flying from at end of video? 18:32ish Looks like a great spot.

[@zacjones6711]

Only a dude will make -additional- sound affects for our toys that already have sound affects. Nice flight and a great plane, happy flying.

[@HobbyView]

I'm the dude that's the dude that flies like the dude!

[@jamesupton1398]

Nice video great narration .

[@joem5639]

Very nice review. Still like the looks of the discontinued original Timber better but warming up to the looks of this improved version. Trying to decide between the Turbo Timber and the Maule M-7 at the moment.

[@dstar706]

Awesome review

[@scottbusby6095]

Love your reviews.

[@caseygray6028]

Major thumbs up for the Star Trek power up feature music!!! (ST3 the search for Spock)...Wait, my bad it was ST 2 wrath of KHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@stevenungester927]

Nice review

[@SebastianLong]

I never even considered the turbo timber until this video. Even got a few chuckles out of me. I've not flown a plane yet and am looking for a beginner plane. I bought another plane, but that was because I had to have it because of the sound and scale appearance. I have a ways to go before I can fly my other plane, F-18 hornet 80 mm EDF, but ultimately want to be able to. I bought it knowing that it may be 2 or 3 years before I can maiden it, but I don't want it to be discontinued before I'm able to. 2 of the last 4 RCs I've bought have been discontinued and I'm not taking any chances with the F-18. The Losi LST 3XLE and the ProBoat Zelos 36" (not the Miss Geico version) are two that were discontinued. I currently have 10 RCs and the Eflite F-18 is one of the them, a boat is also one of them. I've got another boat I want to purchase in mind and there is two other planes, one is definite and the other (trainer) is up for debate. I also want to get a road going RC and a couple monster trucks to boot. Hopefully my RC collection stops at 15 as I am running out of space. Lol. Any hobbiest knows that more than likely won't happen. I've spent more on RCs than my full size vehicle cost me. Lmao. Expensive hobby but soooo worth it.

[@HobbyView]

It would make a fine beginner plane. Also consider the Apprentice. I would look into a simulator as well.

[@SebastianLong]

@@HobbyView I would be interested in a simulator, but the closest thing I've got to a computer is this cell phone I'm texting this paragraph with. Lol.

[@petercyr3508]

Great video. Stock prop is way to big for stock 10 size motor especially if you want to use 4 cells. Try 9x6 with 4 cells. You will be amazed. 10x6 or 10x7 with 3 cells. Major flaw is that motor mount is fragile and not replaceable. You need a whole new fuselage. If you want try the slats, you can use ca and remove them later with ca debonder. Hot glue can be removed with denatured alcohol from the hardware store.

[@AngryPepper1964]

Excellent video Fitz, I just bought one myself as my first plane. I wanted to do the same as you as far as making the slats removable, how did you remove them after hot gluing them on? I’d figure hot glue would be a real P.I.T.A.to remove, what’s your secret? Thanks.

[@HobbyView]

They came off pretty easily. Don't over do it on the glue.

[@BlvlWmpower]

Love it man.

[@kristofferrydquist8384]

Nobody mentioned that it sounds pretty good passing by the field? Three-blade prop thing?

[@desertdronepilot]

Will this work with the DXE transmitter?

[@kaibrinkmann867]

Nice Vid 😎👍🏻. Thank you 🙂

[@steves659]

Can you please share what video camera you are affixing and how you are mounting?

[@troy9er]

Still haven’t picked up one of these but am temped. The UMX version is at my LHS rite now, however I have more hobbies than support bucks, LOL!!

[@matthewtaylor1697]

Great video

[@rickkremer0525]

Great video. I just picked one up and will be flying it soon. Curious now that you’ve have some time with the plane. Have you kept the slats on it? And if you took them off how “easy” was it with your hot glue method?

[@a100nick]

Lol lil late to the party. But you give a great review 20 out if 10 stars. Great flying too

[@IAMREIKI]

Is there a Futaba Bind and set up for this plane ?

[@takakazushi6703]

Great video as usual. Thank you for making these as they really help with purchase decisions. Could you expand on the differences between the timber turbo and timber X? (Hopefully before the HH sale on timber is over). I’m really not sure what you mean when you say the timber turbo "excels in it's utility". That kind of sounds like "salesman's speak". I really would like to hear your thoughts on how they differ, which one flies better for slow speed, shorter takeoff and landings, more durable/more crashworthy Etc. etc.

[@michaelrobertson4745]

Takaka Zushi -The Timber X is more for aerobatics. It has shorter wings with larger flaps and larger ailerons and rudder. They both come with the optional leading edge slats and are both stol capable. The X is just more aerobatic.

[@TheSiliconeslick]

I love my Turbo Timber!.

[@troy9er]

Nice, might have to pick one of these up!! Subbing.

[@RACEABLE]

Do you know if the ar636b from my aeroscout can be used with this plane and have SAFE, AS3X AND FLAPS?

[@qnoorani]

great video

[@blackterminal]

A fun video. Thank you
