I'm still on my 1st plane - UMX TimberX- and I love it. It's basically all Foam2Foam and HD packing tape by now. But it's just so much fun. Can't wait to graduate to one of these bad boys. Great video! Thanks so much. Hopefully I see you guys next time I'm in Hanger18 in Cary 👍

[@Americaaviation3468]

I have the umx timber x as a first plane and I agree and it’s very easy to take to the field because it’s the umx variant

[@djinn201]

(TTE) The alaron and flap control arms are completely different stock from factory. Also ESC is moved forward and lot of lead from batt to ESC and from ESC to engine and I beleive the landing spings have been improved as others I've seen on vids look like they are stretched compared to mine as in they flex very easy. Looks like there have been more improvements after first release. Got mine 6 months ago.

[@OrderoftheWarlocks]

Maiden'd my UMX TTE last night and man that thing does NOT fly like a UMX plane. Dad loves his TT as well. Great planes

[@user-ln6hf2zr5b]

put a umx voodoo prop on it. Its faster and sounds cool

[@johnd9357]

The Umx tte is such a boring plane for me. Absolutely not capable of any 3d due to the extremely low control authority and super slllooowww roll rate. It seems like the larger version doesn’t suffer the same issue.

[@OrderoftheWarlocks]

@@johnd9357 Dang, sorry you feel that way. I still love mine and rolls great with 100% rates. But I don't think the main goal of the umx tte is to 3d, I think it's to STOL in a very small package.

[@aadilslim5674]

🥵 cant wait any more

[@LoveRC]

Timbers in general are great planes.

[@holdfastrc]

I thoroughly enjoy both planes personally and the TTE will always hava a special place in the hangar as I essentially learned to fly with the TTE and the old trusty nx8. Have since upgraded to the ix20 and after unlocking the rx and following Jons max settings video I have pushed that airframe to the limits amd even beyond my abilities (stick mashing) and shes taken it all with a smile. The twin is definitely fun with the stol capabilities and I just had a thought...cant the timber x wing be put on the TTE? I know the connectors inside would need to be disconnected from the rx to properly attach the wing BUT...surely it can be done? Regardless, GREAT job by camera crew, shes the real MVP here 😅

[@TwoBrosRC]

You can definitely toss the Timber X wings on it. We actually did that recently. The bigger wings fly better though - it's less squirrelly in the sky and tracks better overall.

[@steelrainfpv3383]

Hey Jonathan, now that you have both of these models, do you think the better gear system on the twin Timber can be used and swapped over to the Timber Evolution without much modification?

[@TwoBrosRC]

It can't. HH has mentioned this before and we've tested it ourselves. It doesn't fit correctly. You might be able to shim it or something but it's definitely not easily done.

[@stevenkurtz1231]

Nice side by side comparison! So I recently changed out the prop on my TTE to a 13x4 from a timberX (i think thats what they come on). Makes a lot more noise! Is this something you have noticed? What brand 13x4 you are using? Keep up the vids, love watching your stuff.

[@TwoBrosRC]

We're using the 13x4 Timber X propeller which is a little noisier than the stock 11x7: bit.ly/3VCda7p

[@VeneerSlinger]

You gotta use the timber x spinner with that prop correct?

[@airhammer6203]

This is a great comparison video Jon!! So many highlights to touch on. The main one, I know that you wouldn't hit her, but between you telling your wife not to worry and her reaction was funny. Is there a difference in the gear of TTE and the NTX?? I thought they improved TTE gear. Anyway, what I was thinking about doing is purchasing The TTE fuselage+ and making a NTTX. My NTX is new in box 1yr old. I just want a top loader. MW n ELE are easy swap. Your thoughts would be welcome. AirHammer out!!

[@TwoBrosRC]

The TTE and TX both have the same gear springs, but the TTE uses wider gear struts and a better gear mount in the fuselage that spreads the impact forces out much more. You could make the Timber Evo fuselage into a Timber X, just change out the wings and rearrange some wiring.

[@EricBurrus]

Another great vid Jon. Quick question, I have a TTE but I have the common problem of the ESC overheating. There are several ideas in the forums and chsts to help this. One thing I have heard is that switching to a 13x4 prop like yours drops the temps. Have you seen this with yours?

[@TwoBrosRC]

The 13x4 prevents overheating completely. We've never had an issue with it on that prop.

[@EricBurrus]

@@TwoBrosRC Awesome thanks for that info and thanks for all the great reviews and videos. They are so helpful both in learning more about flying and the hobby and deciding which planes to buy.

I'm just gonna go ahead and put you in the professional category. You are one hell of a pilot hard to beat. Where can I get the information on how to do? All the different flap like crow and all those other flat tricks that you do I can't find the recipes anywhere.

[@jeffoyog1099]

How does the TTE compare to the Cirrus SR22T? Like the scale features of the SR22 but like the landing gear on the TTE.

[@TwoBrosRC]

TTE flies slower and is significantly more aerobatic than the Cirrus. It's significantly less scale though.

Could I upgrade my twinber with 2 blade props? If so what size would you recommend trying? I'm wanting more torque

[@TwoBrosRC]

You probably could, but you'd need a new spinner for it. You'd want 11x8 or 11x9 props.

[@Azrael20000]

Ey guys, love your work! I was wondering; are you using differential thrust? and if so, could that be why it won't knife-edge decently? best regards from Holland!

[@TwoBrosRC]

Nope, differential thrust was completely disabled before we reviewed the model the first time.

The Twin Timber is a good choice to move up to.

[@Lagliss1]

Hello, what's your solutions for snapflaps. Did you change the receiver to have more connections? And, your solution yo have the Turbo Timber Evo so agile? Thanks for your replies. Jean-Paul MAILLARD

[@TwoBrosRC]

Snap flaps are a mix of elevator to flap, wherein pulling the elevator causes flaps to drop fully. It produces an instant pitch moment that's very strong. No modifications are needed. Our Timber is set up via this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3jHZGaYqsuBfbc

[@davidradtke5166]

That’s a very interesting video about these both rc planes. I am kinda interested in the Twin Timber. I already have the German Multiplex Funcub and the Easyglider. Both are great planes, but the Funcub has some issues. Because the landing gear on the Funcub is just a wire and bends easily when landing rougher. And if you crash in a corn field you could break off the rear of the plane which happened to mine. Because the Funcub has two servos installed in the rear which weakens the structure there. But it flys awesome and can do artistic moves as well. Do you fly the Twin Timber with the forewings? I read in a German Rc magazine, that it has forewings.

[@TwoBrosRC]

Slats (the fore-wing you're referring to) are covered here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHO5aWOdf7d4l8U The FunCub is neat if you're looking for something that's light. There's more to model aviation than how light an airframe is, though.

[@t0n191]

What are the servos used for twimber?

[@TwoBrosRC]

A332 servos, but they're an upgraded variant that sound and move completely different than the original A332s. They're much more powerful and significantly faster than they used to be.

We've heard rumblings that there will be a potential of a gear spring upgrade you can buy for the TTE that'll put it in the same league as Twinber, but we can't say anything else than that even if we did know.

I'm not biting on the Twimber. Seems top heavy and difficult to land smoothly...that gear better be tough! The TT Evo is such a well balanced plane.

It works, but the Twinber gear are designed to carry a heavier aircraft. You're better off with the Falcon set.
