NEW! RC Smart Plane E-flite Night Timber X - 1.2M STOL 3D Airplane SHAKEDOWN

[@JoshWeaverRC]

I didn't know there was a night version to the Timber X. If it has more lights then more better. Ha ha

[@epoweredrc]

Brand new, suppose to be available middle of may go pre order yours today.

[@JoshWeaverRC]

@@epoweredrc Cool man, I actually ordered it from www.pilotryanmedia.com recently. Needed something versatile to break the rust off flying as a bush plane until I get my new property under control. I took a look at your channel and subscribed. Nice that you have a series on the NX remotes.

[@epoweredrc]

@@JoshWeaverRC Awesome, thanks, I just flew my night Timber x today. great plane to have fun with.

[@JoshWeaverRC]

@Angel Misael I heard flixzone has low sound quality and glitches so bad 3 people have been to the ER for the seizures, since yesterday.

[@russellbedell8198]

For those looking to buy the Timber X model: 100% the best model I’ve ever own. It’s an airplane that can do a little bit of everything and do it well. 3D/hover, Bush flying, fly really slow, fast (on 4s, I highly recommend flying on 4s), and you can fly on floats. 2 things to watch out for over time. 1, with so much down elevator when flaps are down, the elevator/horizontal stab will scrape the ground before the main wings when the plane tips up on 2 wheels. 2, if you fly on floats the tail wheel will begin to rust quickly due to the wheel getting soaked when you fly on floats. Buy the airplane, you will not be disappointed

[@muttbone01]

I've been scraping together my pennies for this for a few weeks, an it's now on it's way! I've also ordered the original GREEN Timber X stickers that I'll be replacing the red ones with, as I just like the bright green stickers from the original Timber X a bit better than the red. I flew the CRAP out of my UMX Timber, nearly 100 flights before it just disintegrated from all the handling an repairs, an I've also owned the original full-size Timber when it came out. Easily one of my favorite series of planes, no matter which version you choose! The Night Timber X will hang on my wall next to it's lit up brother, my Night Radian! More choices to fly in the evenings/dusk is always a good thing!

[@brockbowers3196]

Landing gear is amazing!!! Best ever. It rocks with a 4s!

[@dennisfarley6574]

Awesome Plane

[@flywithmikefromchicago]

Just bought this model and put it together at Morrill Meadow and had a great maiden there. I met a man named Axel who mentioned he knows you! Glad I found this video. Hope to see you sometime at the field in Palos or somewhere else in the Chicago area!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Cool, tell Axel I said hey

[@michaelkrailo5725]

On my NX6, that option to change the minimum voltage is not there! Hmmm. Mine says Startup Volts Min, Overcharge Max, and Imbalance Max, but there is no Volts Min setting. I have that same issue where the alarm keeps going off early like in this video.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Go into telemetry from the menu function or setup list not the scroll wheel from the main screen,

[@graysonsrc2840]

We gotta see some night flyin Ryan

[@BeardedPanda85]

I would have really liked to see them make some improvements over the timber X if they were coming out with this. Mainly the battery bay not being accessible from the top. I understand the complexity of making a new mold but, would have been a nice improvement.

[@ManAndMachine23]

Nice! I Run a Lectron Pro 3000mah 4s in my Timber x with full span ailerons for 3D,great planes,thanks for the first look 👀

[@garyvale8347]

I just picked up the X 1.2m during the recent E-flite sale ....asking as a fairly new pilot, if I install the wing slats, will it help me fly the plane a bit slower in the turns, without stalling , as that's a fear of mine.....I prefer STOL and slower flying, not aerobatics or inverted flight ......thanks

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Yes the slats will allow you to fly slower and more stable

[@quadbrothers5801]

I’m out the leading edge slays on my timber X. Totally worth it.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

My x, (green version. 3s & carbon tail rod, maiden) needed 1 click of up & 1 right aileron & was dialed! My question, for 3d (steel rod, 4s smart 2200), how much will it change?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Shouldn’t change much, that’s why the steel rod on 4s. For the balance to be the same.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

@@PilotRyanMedia Thank you sir! I'm in THE know now! 👍

[@michaelkrailo5725]

Interesting, I got one of these recently and mine pitches up way too much with 4S and steel rod. Had to go to carbon rod and battery pushed back as far as it will go, then it fly's much better. Otherwise, I had to use a mix with no flaps so from mid throttle to full there would be and added 8 or 9 percent down elevator put in. With the steel rod, it balanced almost 4 inches from leading edge of the wing. With carbon rod, it is right in the neutral zone (at least on mine it is) and not mixing required.

[@keithshillbillyrcn849]

Hello to pilot Ryan and bobby k as always gentleman well done. Plane looks great and flys great. Thank you for your video keep flying you guys. Just having fun RC'n with friends and family members.

[@ljhobbylife]

Looks really fun, plenty of power for a 3s and 2200’s are nice and cheap!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@epoweredrc]

4s is the way to go, I have the original Timber x and its still my fav plane.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Kicks butt on 4s and it can handle it

[@epoweredrc]

@@PilotRyanMedia I hope the wings still strong since they had to take out material for the lights. I have had my Timber x in some pretty stressful tumbles. its always held up great.

[@JoshWeaverRC]

Can you believe YT dropped my subscription from LJ_hobby_Life. I'll re-up my man and nice truck I caught a glimpse of on Instagram.

[@LoveRC]

Does it matter which way the little plugs go in on the elevator?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Yes, easy to reverse and they are labeled on the plane

[@georgewatts9361]

Timber X are awesome.

[@CCxRC]

Saw the horizon video this morning and wondered if this was the "off-camera" item you had last week. Very cool. Great size plane for having some fun

[@johngraham3649]

Less than 5 min and already over 30 views. Good Vid Ryan and Bobby.

[@epoweredrc]

Great video Ryan.. just so you know your suppose to trim the plane so it flys level then don't touch touch the sticks for 3 secs and it will trim out. I love my Timber X and she is still going strong after 100+ hard flights but if i ever have to replace i will get this one, even tough i fly mine at night time already. the extra lights would help. I just don't like the red. i love my green one.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

That’s what I did

[@epoweredrc]

@@PilotRyanMedia Oh alright, looked like it was still nose diving while you was letting it sit. but not being able to see your tx and the plane hard to know 100% Was just explaining how i have always understood it to work.

[@paulhatcher9767]

Cool, Eflite has been on a roll.

[@mcredtailflyer574]

Hey Ryan, nice bird, does that plane allow flaperon also? Thx

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Get SMART, great looking Timber X, it will also go in reverse, Great demo which just makes me want to smash that buy button, Jeff in LA USA

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Smash it

[@JoshWeaverRC]

Good stuff Jeff. Didn't know it went in reverse too. I think my DX8 G2 needs updating before I get the smart technology. I bought it half price from a buddy so it may be simpler to buy a new NX series remote and have the DX8 as a buddy box for my son.

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

@@JoshWeaverRC I have the Night Timber X, just put reverse on the normal gear switch on the bottom left side of DX9, Jeff

[@LoveRC]

OK been looking for a night plane. This is it!! My next purchase.

[@scottscooter32b74]

Hello Ryan. I have a timber X and I use the smart batteries. How do you get the CG with the 3s 2200? Did you use a shoehorn to get the 4s 3200 in? 😁. I use the 2200 4s and have had to work on the CG with that one as well. Any suggestions you can provide would be greatly helpful. Thank you.

[@JeffsCustomRC]

Wow sweet plane bro...love the night ability ant float option, great video 👍🏼👍🏼💥💥🔥

[@Andingo86]

I have the Timber X and it's such a great plane, I'm going to have to get this for the lights alone, great video as always!

[@victorrcjets7660]

Nice flying as always Ryan!

[@boss2234]

Stock tundra tires , or did you add soft tires!

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Yes

[@airhammer6203]

Well...it can't hide in the shadows can it??😀 I thought Horizon would have done this sooner. I like the X so much more than the others. It has more surface control options. I'm seeing a little flex in those lights! AirHammer out!!

[@insurancemann1]

Awesome airplane. I just tried to order through your link but unfortunately it is back ordered.

[@PilotRyanMedia]

Right, that’s how it goes. They’ll be here within the next two weeks or sooner

[@johnjones9396]

Great job flying Ryan! Thank you for the videos Ryan and Bobby!

[@bensonthibodaux2955]

Horizon hobbies you need to get a IX-12 in the hands of Ryan for a shakedown

[@mountainbiker4450]

Hi Ryan! New rc pilot here and learning on a Volantex Sport Cub 500 four-channel plane (500 mm). I was thinking about getting the UMX Turbo Timber 700 mm so my son and I can both fly at the same time but then started thinking something somewhat larger like a 1.2 m plane like the mini Apprentice or this one might be nice mainly for visibility/orientation. Would the NIght Timber X 1.2m be too much of a step for a beginner? Should we stick with the UMX Turbo Timber? Mini Apprentice 1.2m? One thing for sure is this NIght Timber is HUGE! Not sure where folks store these beasts in their homes! One more thing... you mentioned attaching the leading edges to slow it down a bit. With the peel and sticks, is this a one time install?? And, do you only get 5-6 minutes flight time on this one like folks claim for the UMX Turbo Timber?

[@matthewschillawski6594]

This plane seems super easy to control. would you consider this a trainer style plane with higher capable functions? or would you consider this a intermediate level plane because of its higher capabilities?

[@georgewatts9361]

They are fun to hover and 3D

[@thirddayrc7824]

The burden of knowing 😁👍👍

[@RavenRockMachine]

Pretty coool

[@johnsons74thsquadron74]

All right change of plan. I am getting this instead of replacing the more expensive T-33, which is harder to fly and land, runs on expensive 6 cell batteries, and has poor flying time.👍👍. I am buying two 4s 2200mah packs to go with this. How much flying time would you get with that?

[@PilotRyanMedia]

I think in the video I say how long the flights were. If I remember right it’s around 4-5 minutes

[@brianbrissette9444]

Bought the X in Nov and have flown 3-4 4s packs every Saturday since, one day I will jump it as it flies under my Xmaxx 📽🤩

[@1stMarine]

Great job Ryan and Bobby, this looks like a phenomenal aircraft, the lighting is just too cool for school ;-)
