[@keymasterpilot]

Faster than E-flite. I just received an email from Horizon Hobby that a new model has been released. Greetings from Greece !

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

AWESOME! Love it when I beat their emails!!!!

[@smallfieldflying4677]

Now I am sure there is footage somewhere of Jason Merkel talking about new UMX planes and suggesting that the Timber X was one of those models that could not be scaled down to UMX size but here it is! I am done with my larger Timber X as its just too stressful but this small version is the ideal plane to throw around with no consequences and I no longer have to keep forcing my UMX Timber to do stuff the poor old thing is not designed for. Very well done Horizon Hobby, a perfect little plane for more demanding pilots!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

EXACTLY!!!!

[@MrWestburyiii]

Hand launching that plane to show how "SAFE" mode works was the best.... reminded me when I was hand launching my 2 channel gliders to help adjust control rods and basic trim... I knew I was done when I launched my glider and it flies straight and true..

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Very cool! Glad you got something from that little detail!!! Thanks for being here with us Bill!

[@chknlyps2373]

Soooooo, I click the video, see you holding a umx with huge ailerons and used your link to get it ordered while listening to the video... got back to the flight at the end of the 2 min mark. I have the umx pitts and turbo timber, this will be awesome... thanks Megan & Brian

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

SWEEEEEEET! Good choices, btw ;)

[@larryrussell1900]

So I got a carbon cub 1.2 meter, I took my first flight, and of course I'd didn't see the tree limb, until it was to late. So found the tree limb lol, anyways it still flew great, that was a week ago, so today 6/17/22, I took it to my local school, and it was a great big space. It flew so great, I was so excited, I even got into the intermediate mode. It was so fun, THANKS BRIAN, for getting me into this hobby,

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Larry - AWESOME! So much more fun in your immediate future!!! I'm so excited for you. You're gonna get hooked, I can already tell! Good for you, and keep it up! There will be some frustrations, but once you get the bug, you will literally be unstoppable. I don't even worry if I can fly a plane anymore, it just happens...now, I do have to worry about the speed for landings and size of strip and these sort of "analytical" items, bus as far as flying, my brain does it, and I don't even "think" about it anymore...you will be here too, if you stick with it. I know you don't believe me right now, but you will get to the point where you won't even think about it...it's a kinda strange thing, but awesome too!!! In fact, if I "think about it" I crash - LOL!!!!!

[@Stinkles_]

I’m loving this era of 3S UMX planes! I picked up the new Pitts and am blown away by the speed and scale aerobatics it can do. This one is a little less my speed but I can see how the 3S power would be awesome for floats. BTW I still have the original UMX Timber and it’s going strong after 5+ years. Great video, thanks!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Totally Agree! Loving the 3S power, and love that they put on Flapperons on this, which was a cool effect!

[@chrisbruzewsski9294]

Was a little skeptical that this was just a sales pitch, but got mine yesterday and flew it today, what an awesome little plane, so much fun flys like a dream.

Good choice, and THANKS!

[@marks7445]

Something I noticed with the UMX Turbo Timber when using flaps. The elevator mix from the flap system menu works like a trim. That causes not only the neutral position to move but also the end points. That can result in movement over (and under) 100 of the elevator. To adjust for this, I set travel to 150 and absolute travel to 100. Absolute travel, at least on the DX is based on a digital range to 2048. So the ends are something like 300 and 1700 (or around that). Be aware of that because when you start to adjust that, you won’t see any change for a long time. Basically, hold the control full throw in the direction you want to adjust. Make the adjustment until you see it come off 100+. No need for the plane to be powered on. Probably worth checking this on this plane on the ailerons also in all the flaperon combinations.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Good point, and glad you mentioned this!!! I thought we could do this with just the PERCENTAGES - but I believe you're 100% right!!!

[@grizzb6476]

I have a Night Timber X that I literally white-knuckle and take 2 breaths in the 5:00 minutes it flies (all 5 flights,lol). I swear half the grey hair on my head came from my Timber X! This UMX Timber appears to be a lot less of a panic attack inducing handful, maybe I can fly a Timber and not feel like I'm gonna have a stroke...lol. As always the Crew Chief did a great job filming the episode, keep up the great work!

[@williamhoodtn]

I had to turn the elevator and Rudder ball links 6 turns in (shorten) to both center the rudder (with zero TX trim) and to get the plane to fly level w/o SAFE on and mid-throttle. There is an addendum paper in the box (mine was part of the first 600 pc batch) and now an updated PDF manual on the website for the CG of 56mm, etc. I did have to do the enable of the flaperons feature on mine. Very fun bird on 3S!

[@AL-RCjunkie]

My wife just bought this plane for me ( yep, I had her follow your links👍) along with a 3s bat and charger. Can't wait for it to arrive on the front step! The Nx8 is just way out of the budget. I'm hoping to find a used Dx6e for this beautiful plane, when it arrives. The Horizon website lists the Dx6e as a compatible transmitter. Brian, in your VAST experience, will the Dx6e fly this plane? I know you really try to get folks to use the NX line. But, we really had to scrape the barrel to purchase the plane, bat, etc. I know you're really busy. I am SO grateful for you and Megan- sorry- the camera crew. And I'm just super excited to get FLYING!!👍 PS-This is my 50th bday gift. And I'm hoping one of my 3 boys (they're 19,22&23 yrs old) will join me when they see how much fun I'm having.

Nice. I just got the UMX Turbo Timber. It was a toss up between the X but ultimately flaps won out. Pretty good punch for 2S but gee whiz Eflite for the money, can you at least put a plastic spinner on it? lol. For what it costs in Canada ($209.99) it really should be like an FMS with clear windows and some plastic details and hard points. The leading edge slats lasted about five minutes..dumb me I had the windows open in the car and it moved and torn one off.

[@AL-RCjunkie]

PSA- 3s 800mAh flies pretty heavy in this plane. You need to grease every landing. Otherwise you're picking up pieces of UMX off the landing strip. But, dang! It'll go darn near half an hour (I'm primarily flying in SAFE as a very new pilot) 👍

[@Donkey_Balls]

I love my pioneer, but this looks sweet. These little planes are fun for trying stupid shit and a lot cheaper.

Yeah I love my pioneer too but wind is it's enemy other than that and no lights it's great after I fixed a broken servo horn for the rutter .I learned how to fly on this plane but now need a bigfoot or something bigger and heavier so wind doesn't effect the flight as much. My next plane is going to be HSD CESSNA 2000 mm now that's a plane guys!!

Yeah, fun and small. Lower consequences, and don't need much room to store...win win, but I still want the big ones too ;)

[@areyouarobotz]

Help! Got the plan yesterday, flap option on DxE doesn't move the flaps, tried manual flaperons on/off option but the flaps shoot up vs down. Any idea how to fix the flap issue so I can fly slowly?

[@jitterystix1621]

I can't remember on the DXe, but you can try two things. 1st (easiest) reverse the flaps servo switch. If that doesn't work, if you can set the throws for the flaps, you can set opposite values to get them to go down rather than up (POS 0: +100%; POS 1: +50%; POS 2: 0; leave ELE settings the same)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Change the flap mode from -100% to +100% and then the OTHER setting to +100% to -100%....this should change the flap direction, without undermining your ailerons. (*SHOULD*)

[@trainsplanesandautomobiles2547]

I have definitely noticed that this new plane has plastic tail and elevator holders. Because anyone who has flown the UMX Timber or Turbo Timber, the rudder can just fall off. Same with the tail wheel. Definitely going to be the next plane in my collection 👍

[@Corrigan65_]

I'd like to share a hack, for those who like to fly the LED UMX Timber X and Turbo Evo at dusk. There's a foam safe neon yellow sharpie that reflects a UV flashlight better than markers marketed as UV reflective markers. I actually debated this with a staff member of Office depot. She recommended I get a UV marker (I already had one), "This is better." Anyway, let's say at dusk, a variable wind pushes you out of orientation. You know generally where you were but night falls. If you have a decent UV flashlight you have a shot at spotting your timber because that Neon yellow kicks back UV HARD. A UV flashlight also draws less attention. Also, I noticed during daytime, flight, The Neon yellow will pop at a distance. Stock, unilateral white foam... it's fine to keep it stock but I think neon yellow on the Timber X UMS will look sick. If I owned a UMX Timber X I'd keep the belly white but I'd sharpie the top of the wings, rudders, stabilizer. I don't lightly recommend any mods but, This night glow hack I discovered through playing night glow disc golf has merit and application for UMX Timbers. for day and night

Hobbyking approached us, and we respectfully declined to work with them. It was MORE about their TERMS than their planes, but to be honest, I remember dealing with Hobbyking when things WEREN'T going well - their warranty was a joke. You had to argue with them for hours and I would get so pissed, and never get any help. It's such a far cry from what we get from Horizon Hobby, that even though I'd love to hit them up on a few select planes, I just don't need to go back to "Dynam" planes. They have a time and place...limited budget, and LOTS of time/effort to make them fly well...and there's a huge market for that, but honestly, I'm not there - way too busy for the hassle, but someone who has the time might LOVE their stuff!

If you're just gluing it back in, then I'd go for FOAM TO FOAM, but if you're trying to glue the housing back together, you'll probably need to try CA, then FOAM TO FOAM it back into the correct position.

[@shanehoule9477]

I'm getting one!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

GREAT!

[@michaelwarren4501]

I wonder if the saylors got a crashed one!🤣 I love umx planes. I will get this one day. Oh yes, she will be mine !

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

OOps - you caught that??? ;) LOL!!!

[@mrmr3621]

so its smaller has 3s and big old ailerons ? the umx timber had (if im not wrong) the biggest wing of any umx , you put it next to an ultra micro p51 and the timber looks huge ,but also flew really good , hopefully this smaller one flys great also

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It's about the same size as the UMX Timber. Sorry, I should have done that!

They just announced this release and you have the review up the same day. What about the new eflite Corsair? Is there gonna be a delay on that release?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That's already done ;) Can't release it for a bit ;)

[@darrenkarp170]

Would this make a good first plane trainer or would something larger such as the Apprentice STS be better?

Apprentice 100%, every day, all day, hand down - you hit the NAIL on the head ;) Thank you Here's some actually great beginner planes...if you reject my suggestions and get the UMX Timber X, I won't be mad, but just remember you need to check your expectations on how well you'll fly it as a brand new pilot.

[@markw4095]

haha I hear you! I'm not sure about playing with my balls much any more. However, I had to put in about 40 clicks of trim on the rudder but that one I could unscrew the link. The elevator is an issue. I suppose I could do it the real way and just pry on the balls!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yes, or you can possible unscrew the ball???? Sometime this is possible, but not looking at it right at the moment.

[@michaelkrailo5725]

what if you first glued a strip of that shelf liner to the loop Velcro and then wrapped it around the battery so the shelve liner contacts the battery! Then it would not be able to slip out of the loop of Velcro wrapped around the battery. I really like that shelf liner.

yes!

[@michaelkrailo5725]

I clicked on your link for the plane and 2 batteries. I should be getting it today. My larger Night Timber X has some sort of problem where the low battery warning goes off 1 minute into the flight. I think somethings wrong with it but cannot pinpoint what it actually is. Very frustrating. I hope this one fills the gap until I figure out what the issue is. I fly the bigger one in my neighborhood and can put around with it, but as soon as I goose the throttle it gives me the triple tone alarm. It's either a servo, Rx or the ESC causing the problem. The same batteries work fine in my Commander (which is my favorite plane that I'm flying right now).

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Can you go into the TELEMETRY AUDIO WARNINGS and make sure they're set to a reasonable level? This can be annoying!!!!!!!!! But might be just a setting that needs to be adjusted.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

...sometimes this alarm will start early and then it locks out your screen! I hope this IS what you're fighting, since the alternative would be a bad battery, more than likely.

[@michaelkrailo5725]

@@BrianPhillipsRC I can't seem to find that menu. Is this only accessible when the plane battery is connected? I just don't see where this warning is being set.

[@FlankerTanker]

First thing I would do is remove the JST and replace it with a XT30 - it is easy to connect a JST incorrectly - my advice is stay away from JST...

I can't say I disagree, but think we can agree WAY better than MicroPH!!! (think original UMX planes)

[@lennyz853]

Hi Brian you are the best in videos! I fly the aeroscout in intermediate mode at the club field with the buddy box system. I have more fun flying the hobby cub S2 at the school field,less stress!😊 Should I get the turbo timber or the timber x ? Would the Pitts 850 be the next step after? Oh ya,Meagan is the best too!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

If you're new and still buddying up, I'd definitely go for the Turbo Timber UMX FIRST, between the UMX timbers, but if you want to bypass it, I would suggest going with an Apprentice 1.2m or 1.5m...any of the "3D" planes out there will have a ton of power to weight, and while that can be helpful, it can really feed on the weaknesses of a new pilot, and make for a lot of bad habits. Just my 2 cents, and would totally understand the urge to buy this one anyway ;)

[@Jack-gy7cs]

EPS foam is the only negative I see. A brand new plane so why don't they start using the EPP foam which is SO much more durable.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Smaller planes can't handle the heavier weight ;(

[@Jack-gy7cs]

@@BrianPhillipsRC All the Eachine 400 mm planes are EPP foam.

[@natanlesniak9960]

I have just ordered this plane, and I am wondering if a 450mah battery would work just fine?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Should be fine if you have an adapter.

[@atabugrc9010]

Can anyone tell me why my umx timber x just pitches straight up when flying? It's totally unplayable. My cg was what the manual said. I even fit an 850mah in there all the way to the front and it still did it. Then I put I pretty thick washer in the front and still pitched up really bad. Oh and my trim was all the way the whole time.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Sounds like you're long throw linear servo is screwed up. If you haven't already tried, open up your servo settings, and change from 100% down to 97-05%, and you'll help them from getting STUCK at the end of stroke. Also, if you're ALREADY stuck, and it's been stuck for some time you may have already burned out the motor :(... If that's the case, you'll have to get a new one, or scavenge one from a "donor" servo, like I do.

Have you flown the mini pioneer 650mm? I’m debating on it or the umx timber x for a small plane to fly in smaller places when I don’t want to go all the way to the field

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

The Timber is far superior, but the Pioneer is a good plane. Timber will be able to fly slower.

[@millerrc5829]

I thought it was kinda cool I’m still disappointed they use those super fragile liner servos, then I saw the price 👀 sorry not worth $170 even with horizons inflation excuse.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I've heard a lot of gripes in the past about long throw linear servos, but personally, I've have pretty good luck, unless they get debris in the strip. As for the price - if you called up some of these Chinese suppliers, you'd be amazed how much they're jacking up the prices.

[@silverfoxmckeand1125]

Just got mine. I'm having major tail heavy issues

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Are you sure it's just not kinda crazy? This plane flies more crazy than the other UMX Turbo Timber....but not sure if that's your basis for concern. If it's ACTUALLY Tail Heavy (just from balancing it and testing) then have you considered just throwing some change in with the battery try, and see how she does? It's temporary while you figure out what's going on, but if you fly a 3D plane, and aren't used to it, it might "feel" kinda under stable, and "tail heavy" but might actually just be about right for this platform. Please forgive me if I'm miss-gauging your skills, or some such thing...I have to kinda guess in moments like this, but if I'm right, give these things a shot, and see how things turn out.
