Thank you Blake, that really means a lot to us 😃👍⚓😎

[@FORDEVR]

If anyone doesn’t have a Night Timber ….you need one!!! Especially someone looking for there 2nd or 3rd plane. This plane makes flying in the later light hours and even at night much easier, and even enjoyable. Even though I can fly in my yard it sometimes is after dark when I get home from work and this plane allows me to fly at any time. Even in pitch black darkness.

[@timmytfpv7316]

Whats the tops speed

[@ManAndMachine23]

You’re doing a climbing knife edge because you don’t enough speed,key to knife edge is to get your speed up,roll it on one side and maintain altitude with the rudder,nice plane thanks for the video guys!

[@greglewis20]

I watch everyone of your videos and they are very informative. Just wished they would be making these planes in the states.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Wed absolutely love to get behind a company that manufactures RCs in the States for sure. Buying from Horizon is currently as good as it gets (there are some others as well) because you are helping to employ many people here in our country. Also, simply by watching our videos you are helping our local economy because Abby and I buy local as often as realistically possible. It's good to have economically conscious people such as yourself supporting us. Thank you! 👍⚓😎

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

Well that does it. Guess this is my next plane.

[@iphonecreativity74]

Ya know?? I really enjoy your videos. Especially on Drones, Planes and helicopters. Having been associated in the hobby for a NUMBER of years, I think where the hobby has gone is good. BUT!! One of the aspects I miss MOST is the building and crafting of a plane from sticks and covering and sometimes only plans to go with. I know people just wanna get in the air, but one of the most satisfying, rewarding parts of the hobby is the PRIDE you have on a well constructed machine. What a joy to have others admire all the work you put into that. The things you learn about the plane too are the whole aspect of WHY it fly's, the IMPORTANCE of weight and balance and the engineering behind making it happen. REALLY REALLY miss those days. MANY MANY MANY Manufacturers had kits around that just aren't there anymore. So sad. We taught ALOT of younger generation pilots what aviation entails. In any event, good luck on all your future endeavors.

[@TheRcSaylors]

We have done a handful of Adam's board builds from scratch and while they were very rewarding, they also just didnt hold up in comparison to just about any foam plane. I'd LOVE to actually BUILD a plane from scratch, but honestly for me it probably wont happen for a very long time. My build is my KZbin channel. Something that we have truly built from scratch that we are VERY proud of. From 0 subscribers and 0 views to where we are now, all thanks to very hard work, blood, sweat, and many tears. It has changed my life more than building a plane ever could and affected millions of people from all over the world. All with a positive attitude, never bringing anyone down. Our KZbin channel is our kit build.

[@iphonecreativity74]

@@TheRcSaylors Oh I absolutely agree with you. It takes a massive amount of time to build. Especially a Scale plane. At one time, we had about 100+ club members and used to sponsor fly-in's and contests and even invited to our local mall for display, Q&A twice a year. I even had the local Radio station come out for a 3 hr live broadcast once. BUT!! I couldn't agree with you more on the path of your KZbin channel. I know even with the planes and R/C stuff you feature, that it has a major positive impact on several people. VERY proud of you and Abby's efforts and the work put in for the success you so greatly deserve. I have long thot about doing a channel myself and as an avid hobbiest in the smart phone photo world, just the time alone to edit is crazy. So by no means am I condescending your work, time and money's spent to build it. Love this channel. I have told several people myself to check it out. You guys just keep on doin and I'll keep on watchin and promoting.

[@claygrigsby1280]

I have 4 timbers, the timber x, turbo timber 1.5 and both timber umx planes. The timber x was my second plane that ended up being my trainer plane when I started flying last fall and is the best plane I have. It is perfect every time and always a blast to fly. It was easier fir me to learn to fly on the timber x than with my carbon cub with all of its bells and whistles. Abby if you have not flown the timber x you need to, it is so easy to fly, you will enjoy it so much.

[@scottscooter32b74]

Hello Nate and Abby. Thanks for the great video. I have a timber X and I really want to like it. I cannot get the plane to fly level as the tail just seems to drag. I am running a smart 2200 4s and it has the carbon spur in the back. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@chadpollman7970]

First thing I would check is that the CG balances correctly. The manual should specify the location - usually a certain distance or range behind the leading edge of the wing. With the airplane in flight-ready condition, except with the battery disconnected (for safety), verify the airplane balances level or slightly nose-heavy (gently teeters just a bit forward rather than the nose falling sharply) at the recommended CG point. (If a range was given, try for a spot toward the front of that range.) A tail-heavy airplane will be very unstable and drag its tail. A severely nose-heavy airplane will fly like a brick and require a lot of airspeed to stay airborne. If the CG is fine, it might be worth checking the manual to see whether the AS3X system needs to be calibrated. My guess is that it auto-calibrates each time the airplane is powered on, in which case the only suggestion I’d have is to make sure you are placing the airplane on a level surface within a few seconds of powering up the airplane so that the gyros calibrate correctly. Might also be worth checking that the elevator surface is level with the rest of the horizontal stabilizer when you are not giving any control input (“hands-free”) and the airplane is level. If it is tilted upward significantly, make sure the elevator trim on the transmitter is centered/neutral (check its manual for instructions if you don’t know how to check this). If the tilt remains, you’ll need to apply downward trim or adjust the pushrod/clevis to correct the alignment (again, the manuals should walk you through the steps). BTW, if the pushrods were already connected to the control surfaces by the factory, you shouldn’t need to make any adjustments to the pushrods; unless the factory made a mistake (rare, but not impossible), the setup should be correct. Hope that helps.

[@scottscooter32b74]

@@chadpollman7970 Hello Chad. Thank you for the reply. I will try all of these options. I am thinking it might be the latter. I need to make sure that the elevator is level at zero trim. I saw that Pilot Ryan is flying the new Night Timber X with a smart, 2200 3S, 2200 4S, and a 3200 4S. I have all of these batteries, but I could see no way of shoe horning a 3200 in there, and the 3S is so light. I am probably going to go flying this Wed. Thank you again for the reply.

[@georgesaar9687]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video showing the excitement of flying one of these Timber X 3D planes. The interaction between both people is entertaining and you can feel the emotions they experience while flying the Timber X. I plan on buying the Timber X BNF some time in the near future as I am training with my Apprentice STS and also flying the Timber X on a Buddy Box and Trainer who is allowing me to use his Timber X. Took off and landed the X and am amazed how well it can be controlled by me in Safe Mode. Not attempting any 3D moves yet, of course, but enjoying how comfortable it flys. Short takeoffs are fun and landings are slow and sure. A wonderfully designed foam plane.

[@cfoxtrot63]

@TheRcSaylors, recently came across your channel, great videos thanks for your work! Question, have you ever tested the top speed of the Timber X series planes?

[@BillKisel]

Great video. Nate your (and Abby's) enthusiasm for the hobby is infectious. You guys got me started bashing with some WL Toys dune buggy and more recently flying with the Hobbyzone Champ. I'm so envious and jealous of you guys. I wish I had the skills to fly like that. This morning I did get in a 10 min. flight on my Champ without crashing. The air was perfectly calm. I had battery left but just wanted to take the 10 min. win. So am I ready for something like this Timber? 😁

[@ab7rs]

it's so hard to judge your abilities. It's easy to fly but it's $300. There are a lot of other great 2nd planes out there. Horizon has the T-28 for about $170 or the night radian....what type of flying/plane do you want?

If you had to pick between this plane and the Flex Innovations Extra 300 G2, which would you pick? I am a new pilot with two planes under my belt, but only about tehn flights. I had a completely unexplained crash with my Carbon Cub S+ yesterday and I want a new plane. (So far, no one on the forums has been able to figure out what happened.) So I am confident enough to fly and land the plane, but that's about it. I like that the FI 300 has an on/off switch for the lights on the transmitter, and I prefer the looks of the FI 300. But if the FI 300 is a bigger challenge than the Night Timber then I'll go with the Night Timber. I can't afford too many crashes.

Anyway I really like the Night Timber X, but first I need to get another transmitter. I see you are using the spectrum DX8, is that the one you recommend for this plane, or can I use the dx6? I only have the one that came with my Cub. So I would need to purchase another one. Thanks for all you guys do!

[@NicolasBRENTA]

Damn I love this plane it’s gonna be my next one ☝️

[@fozzysrchobbies1343]

Nice flight , good looking plane, yes y'all need a 1.5 turbo timber you will love it

[@300fans]

Timer X? Is it called that because it has an integrated flight timer or something? #typointitle

[@TheRcSaylors]

Title updated. Possible auto correct on that one. Thanks 👍⚓😎

[@jdouglasj2000]

I had a Carbon Cub S+ which I flew about 6 times before it inexplicably crashed. Horizon Hobby thought it was a problem with the GPS so they agreed to send me a new plane, but this time around I picked the Night Timber X. I have also purchased a Conscendo glider based on your reviews of each plane. But now everyone is telling me I’ve purchased two planes I’ll surely crash. So some questions: 1. I have six Carbon Cub S+ flights under my belt. Do you think I’ll be able to fly this plane in SAFE without much worry? 2. .Someone told me this plane is easier to fly than the Conscendo. Is that true? 3. I don’t mind slowing the plane down with the front slats. Are there other downsides to the slats I should consider?

[@TheRcSaylors]

Yes, I believe you can fly this in safe with your current experience. The Consciendo is definitely more beginner friendly than this, no doubt in my mind for many reasons. I believe you'll do fine with both planes though. No need to worry. Whoever is currently giving you advice doesnt sound like they are in a place to give said advice.. sorry!! You've got this!! 👍😃😎⚓

[@jdouglasj2000]

@@TheRcSaylors Tremendous. I'd rather fly the Conscendo anyway. My fear did. convince me to purchase a flitetest foam board plane so that I have something I can crash and get it back up and flying for less than $10.

[@jdouglasj2000]

@@TheRcSaylors I flew the Conscendo today for the first time. In my opinion, it’s easier to fly than the Carbon Cub S+.

The shipping is too expensive on horizon hobby can we buy it on ebay or amazon..? 😊

[@TheRcSaylors]

What country do you live in my friend? It should be free shipping.

[@av8tore71]

Now you can find someone else and do spot landings, see who can land the shortest distance specially if you can throws the motor the opposite direction Thank you, you just gave me an idea with the new credit card I just got in the mail today

Hi guys,follow you a lot,my question is I want to buy an X,maybe turbo,my problem is I have 3 Zop 4s 3500 new packs,if they will fit I'm going to purchase a plane,lol.Can you give me physical demensions of battery compartment to see if they will fit? Even if I have to trim slightly,lol.Thanks much,Rick

[@antonl1894]

Both the Turbo timber and the Timber X recommend 3-4s 2200-3200 mah lipo battery. I think you would be able to fit a 3500 in there but im not sure. I would suggest go to a local hobbystore or maybe a clubmember that have the timber that you can ask.

[@MegaRickw]

thanks,that's why I was asking here,they have both planes and hoping to get a measurement

[@scottfirman]

You keeping up with those boys in Slovakia for planes Nate? You will never catch them. I cannot wait to try out my night flyer. Its not a Timber but thats fine. I maidened my UMX Timber yesterday and as soon as I took safe off, it crashed. Something went wrong with it . I hate these UMX Planes. I think I am done buying them now. This is the 3rd one I got that ended up scrap. Wht on earth do they make a small plane that cannot even fly right? I am fine with XK small planes. Those fly perfectly. Horizon needs to learn from XK.

[@TheRcSaylors]

Lol no, I've never viewed this hobby as a competition in any way, except for when Abby and I challenge each other for some good fun. I did respond to your previous comment regarding UMX planes btw!

[@markpatterson4917]

Very nice plane don't mind giro's but hate safe. Would rather a buddy box. Safe programs novice pilots into so many bad habits to start (i'm a club instructor). If they stay on it to long they end up thrashing about on the sticks in normal (proper) mode .Although does it allows novices to fly ish but it will never let them perform a victory roll but at least it safe. Plane looks cool in night livery thought

[@TheRcSaylors]

I have to disagree! I've witnessed hundreds, if not thousands of people get into the hobby that wouldn't have otherwise because of SAFE technology. We tend to encourage people to get in to flying over discouraging them. I love seeing the hobby Grow! Edit: There are a LOT of people that don't live near a flight instructor like yourself but still want to enjoy the hobby. I help those people daily, and have for years now. I too help people learn to fly in person, but with COVID being a "thing" now I'm going to continue encouraging people to get into the hobby the best way possible. Thanks for what you do for the hobby, but please don't discourage people from flying simply because they don't do it "your way".

[@markpatterson4917]

Think we have a difference of opinion, because of geography I'm from England where access to local clubs are plentiful most people are within a 30 mile radius of a club so its easier to get that tuition. The biggest reason I said I hate SAFE is I like being in control. I learnt to fly back in the 1980's as teenager and obviously we didn't have all the gizmos we have now. I've always encouraged people to come into the hobby. I can easily save people a 100 pounds (SAFE is expensive) recommending the right plane with tuition. (Helps get the youngsters into it) You've been lucky with Covid to keeping flying. We had horrible weather from January till lock down in March. Then we had lots of beautiful calm days pining out of the window while working from home. Just got out Yesterday for my first fly in over 5 months boy it was good

[@jdouglasj2000]

​@@TheRcSaylors I don't know about SAFE. I've flown about 6 flights on my first plane, the Carbon Cub S+. I used SAFE on my first flight to safely land the plane, but on subsequent I used SAFE to set up the approach and then I landed it myself. I liked the holding pattern and safe return features on those first flights. A couple weeks ago, I had less than two minutes of fight on a newly charged battery and out of the blue it went into a steep descent with SAFE on and flew into a tree. I gave it full up elevator with full throttle, but to no avail. The plane came down from the tree a couple days later. I did the necessary repairs and flew it again yesterday. I did the CRAP check. My controls were all operating normally and returned to neutral position. A friend hand launched the plane at full power and immediately after launch it just wanted to dive. I gave it full elevator and full throttle, and I was able to get it climbing, but it was doing all it could to dive. I inched off the elevator just a bit to bring it back down, but dove straight down at about a 70-degree angle from 100' or so. Did SAFE cause that? I really don't know, but in my traipsing around the RC forums I am bumping into more and more people who have similar stories with SAFE. I just don't trust it now.

[@glenpiro313]

New sub here, excellent video, my mouth is watering, I ordered one of these, it will be here Monday! My first airplane, coming from drones and cars. I definitely intend on installing the slats, Im very excited about the low speed capabilities of this airplane. Im torn on starting with 3S or 4S, I have both, but Im concerned about getting in over my head with the 4S. I havent been this excited about something in a loooooonnnnnnggggg time. Maybe back to my first car, an Associated RC12E, I raced at a place called Rattys Raceway in N.Attleboro MA. Its long gone now, Im talking late seventies! Thanks guys, great channel, great review!

[@snowsolo]

So how did you do with this plane now since its been a month? Hope this wasn't too much 3D of a plane for being your 1st. I just picked mine up this past weekend and had a hand full on the maiden and couldn't figure why it seemed so tail heavy with 4s battery up to front and only the carbon tail spar in rear and not the steel one. Trim issues I'm guessing. 7th plane I own and it had me nervous. Just curious how you did with it being your 1st plane.

[@ronalddalton5435]

I am Beginner eyelid I’m just trying to figure out what kind of plane I need to learn how to fly because on the 51 Mustang I really like that yellow on the plane from horizon third Street what would I look four
