I like videos like this. Back to the roots of FT
Great review, reminds me of flitetest from years ago, without all the yelling and noise.
Please do a beginners series for balsa! Loved the good, informative video again.
You two crack me up every time you're on camera together. I just bought the Valiant because of you. Now it seems I'm going to need a Timber X as well. Keep up the great work.
2 videos in 1 day, I feel special. Great to see content flowing again
We are trying! 😇
@@FliteTest THANK YOU
THANK YOU for doing reviews again! You guys have inspired me to buy a LOT of airplanes because of your reviews. Thanks so much!!! You two are so fun to watch!
I just maidened mine today. She flies like a dream. I don’t have the flaperon setup but even with just the standard aileron setup I was able to pull some decent snap rolls for the first time. The one thing that was a bit worrying was the low power cutoff. On my first battery the motor cut right after I landed thankfully but if I had been higher it might have been a bit scarier. But on my second battery I was a bit more careful and I had no problems whatsoever.
Thanks for the new video guys! Loved your take on the new Timber X. I just picked one up last Saturday (March 2nd), and I have to admit that I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this one until I saw the videos. I'm no where near the pilot for 3D maneuvers, it looks like that I have a lot of practice to do!
It's vids like this one that put me onto HH and Spectrum. I have now reached 'Pro' status with HH. Enjoy these types of vids the best. More, please!
After having mine for a month and the weather is finally cooperating I maddened my X1.2 today. The plane flies really nice! It flies like a dream! Unfortunately though I had found one of the weak spots, I had broken the right landing gear base completely off. Hopefully a little model glue for the plastic and some foamtac for the foam will make it strong enough for future landings. 😁
This is the kind of content I love seeing from you guys
Just want to say I love all your videos. I loved them so much I forgot to SUBS...oops. The chase planes or quads really ads to the experience. Thanks. Awesome job guys. BOOYA !
I would not be able to talk and fly like that. You sir, are being very modest. I know this is an older video but I’m looking at getting a new plane so naturally I came to my boys at FT. Good lick in your continuing success!
Yes! A new video on flitetest tech! (also the timber is super cool)
Thanks. Looks like a great plane.
so this is the Draco of RC planes!!!
Great review, love the drone shots!
Excellent. I enjoy these types of videos.
I would like to ask why anyone would down thumb these guys. They are a knowledgeable base and great teachers. Stay positive guys.
I got my Timber X this week and I'm planning to Maiden her tomorrow thanks for your video helps a lot keep up the great work thanks guys
It's been a week now, how well did the new Timber X do?
Amazing new technology Thanks for the review!
That is so cool inspired me to improvise i am gonna make bush landing gear for the edge 540
Excited to try the Turbo Timber
That plane is awesome!!!👍
I just got that plane. I can't wait to fly it.
I've flown it a few times and it's a really cool plane, I really like the flight characteristics, it can fly super slow with flaps and it rolls really quickly.
Subbed. I was wondering about the old tech review vids. Although I love the great crazy builds on Flight Test
Nice plane & awesome flight
Brilliant video and a beautiful plane -flyer:)
Pretty impressive, guys! Great airplane!!! 😃
So FT Tech is a throwback to Flite Test's roots?
BTW you're getting really good at flying
Digging the classic music behind the classic Flite Test vid, although not the Josh's, still 2 of my favorite personalities with the FT crew. I just seen the video from Shonduras channel, I was wondering who you guy's were with. Also been hooked on Trent Palmer since that vid.
Looks like a Great Plane but I’d also have to say props to whomever was flying the camera drone, nice close ups, next time you should give a shout out.
Now you gotta do the turbo timber (new release as of today)
Love the colour! But that’s about it. Old one is better in every way! Love the video
Nice video! Keep these coming. I also have a suggestion, I think you should do some part of the review on your building table inspecting build quality. As an example what type of hinges this have? Are they foam hinges or nylon hinges? Or does the battery compartment allow for different sizes of batteries? This type of information about the build quality is important for me. You can check out Andrew Newton's reviews as an example. He actually makes reviews in two videos: first video is unboxing and build review second one is flight review. I will keep watching you regardless because I like you but would be happy to see more in depth reviews. No channel has your video production quality and your air to air footage so if you would improve your airplane reviews they would be one of the best.
Ali Berk ÖZDERYA That’s what Josh and Josh used to do on this channel back in the day, bu agree that would be nice. If it ain’t broke, don’t go fixing it.
I like this!
Dang, poptop to a knigeedge spin. Your a pretty good 3D pilot. Next you should learn to rolling harrier.
Eflite Viper, AT-6, Clipped-wing cub, and Umx Mig 15.
Build a crawler plane! As soon as I saw those springs in the landing gear I immediately thought about how we could combine an articulating suspension on a plane.
Look up the Just SuperSTOL. About as close as you can get in real life.
Impressive!
The first symmetrical wing plane I ever flown was a pod and boom glider kit called a sorceress by M&M glider tech. It was so fast. no rudder. Bank and yank.
I had a glider pilot “island Dentist Bob” came up to me and said the maneuvers I was doing would kill the pilot. It was slope only.
I lived in the Virgin Islands on St. John and I would fly from the dirt road in front of Peter Max’s house. It was fun.
You guys need to see the avios grand tundra makes this look like a kids toy
I put those 4" Timber wheels on my FT simple cub and they are so bloody cool! I do have the C motor (1180kv) with 3s 1550 tattu battery. Highly recommend the C motor in the Cub. She screams! I did lose maybe a minute or two of the 12 minutes runtime but, I never like to run my batteries below 3.6v per cell...just to be safe.
Timber wheels... try it out. Really give the Cubbie that Carbon Cub/flying cowboy look!
You guys gotta review some freewing models or flightline including both the Avanti and 1600mm spit!
DUUUUDE thats magic
🕹️ Thank You!
Nice review, miss these. What size 4 cell were you using?
You guys should review a bnf float plane for under 200 dollars. Its been a while since the other float planes that you reviewed and they are a bit outdated. I am looking for a good plane to bring to the thousand islands in canada this summer. Thanks!
Little disappointed this wasn’t on the main channel but great review overall! Might pick one up.
Thanks! We started the tech channel for all of our educational and resource/review videos for those people already in the hobby. The main channel is now solely our crazy and cool projects that inspire new people into the hobby as well as inspire people already in the hobby to try new things.
Can you review the newish MiG that horizon re-released with safe technology
Make a review about ZOHD DART WING please!
Looks interesting. Wonder how it does as a float plane?
I have the standard timber, its as good as a float plane as a taildragger
That looks hard hehe. Can this be smooth flying too for a beginner?
Hey guess was wondering if you could show off this plane with the floats? I have this plane and was just wondering how this plane handles in the water
I want to see the new eflight f15 eagle! or the viper
Alex did you use the steel spar or carbon spar for the horizontal stabs? Where did you end up with your *CG* on this flight? Hope you don't mind answering sir.
Also great flight Alex you were shredding it. Loved the poptop!
Can you put the 3 blade prop on this? The same one on the turbo?
Do more reviews👍
If only I could have all the flying things.
Over here in Britain its 120 degrees Fahrenheit!!
I hear Timbers I Upvote. PTFC!!
maybe do beginner planes like the umx timber, trojan, p-51 mustang
What size 4s pack you using?
wicked cool plane!! 250 bucks though... pnp is still 220.... i cant justify that cost geez loiuse
I run mine on 3 cell 3500, rather than a 4 cell 2200. Had to lose out on more power but battery life is good, 13 minutes and 40sec
I am a newbie in the RC plane world. Been flying alot with the skyhawk and are thinking on buying a stol plane. Would this plane be suicide compared to the Carbon Cub S+? Should I just go straight to the Timber X or would it be better for me to get the Carbon Cup S+?
is a 4s 3200 to large for the X? wrecked mine
I wish!
How about trying some crow mixing with this, that should be a lot of fun!
I can 3D a sport cub, though I can only do it for the first half of the flight
I wanted to see unboxing, tho it might have offended the person who packed the plane as Alex destroyed the poor box 📦 😂
Paint it Red and call it Draco! :D
I have one of those it’s my first rc plane and so far I had only 1 reck
Try to make a sky viper rc plain or the five below plain please I'm trying to make one but I don't have the money
But does it fly as good as the Harry Potter car? :) :) And you didn't expound on the unboxing experience. Like, why is the box in a bunch of pieces on the floor? :)
Do you guys put your FAA registration number on these planes? I hate the fact that they’re making us do this and ruining the appearance of our planes. What are your thoughts?.
Got one about a week ago. Love it but the battery tray area is god awful.
I wonder if u could mount a camera on it... Mount a VR type action cam, put my phone in my VR headset, have fun!
Raise your hand if you didn't notice this was a different channel ✋
Also, I can't wait to see the comparison video for the x version versus the turbo one.
Hi
I have a video out on the timber x I would love it if yall go take a look at my channel. I had a issue with the landing gear where if the scrues arn not tight it breaks the landing gear. Also I would love to see you guys do the bushmule from avios and the skipper from hobbyking
Yo you guys should build a new aircraft carrier and take off stol planes off of it. And do touch n gos!!
How does this compare to the Durafly Tundra?
In my opinion it’s way better. More power, better gear, larger surfaces, and AS3X to smooth it out.
So, are the speed controller and receiver with the smart capabilities transferable to other planes? The reason I ask is because I don't want to skip the beginner stages that I feel are necessary to enjoy the hobby long term, and also don't want to become bored quickly with my purchase dollars. Great channel by the way.
You can transfer the reciever to a different plane but it wouldn't be recommended because the gyro and settings are programed for this plane. For a first plane, I would recommend a Bixler 2 from Hobbyking for $77 and then install a $30 LemonRX LM044 stabilizer reciever. The Lemon is very easy to set up and it just uses switches and pots to adjust the settings. The Bixler uses a 3S 2200 lipo which could also be used on the Timber X when you a ready for a more capable plane.
Timber better than Tundra? 🤔
Maule M7 for the scale bush guys!
Exactly what I was thinking. Looks just like the Eflite Maule with a different paint job except it's got the right landing gear on it (Oleo-ish versus spring)
So you wouldn’t recommend this for a first time flyer? I’ve flew drones and everything else rc, but I’ve never had a plane. I’ve been looking to buy my first rc plane, and thought this may be ok with all the safe features. I actually wanted a warbird Bc they’re just my fav planes far as looks. But everyone says don’t buy a warbird for my first plane. I also don’t wanna buy a cheap plane that I will outgrow too fast. Any recommendations?

Hey Alex, There Is No Turbo Timber Listed??? Even With A Search On Their Sight... Thanks
The Turbo Timber can be found here! store.flitetest.com/eflite-turbo-timber-1.5m-bnf-efl15250/p942550
@@FliteTestTech Ahhh OK, I Like The L@@Ks Of My Red Turbo Beaver Better... Thanks PS Where's The Old FliteTest Laser Fire At??? I Heard About It Butt Can't Find It On Any Searches... ;~)
What is this channel? Why is it different from normal flite test?
I don't know where these vids are taken, but in SE WI (where I live) you can't fly any R/Cs that close to buildings or dwellings without a very hefty fine, or possibly some jail time. I wish we could do that here, but we have to drive about four miles west out of town to an officially approved R/C flying field (a real bummer!) because we are within the area of two major FAA TCAs!!! And there are a few smaller, but still major, airports in the vicinity. We are between Milwaukee General Mitchell Field and O'Hare International Airport. The Feds are paranoid and get real nervous about R/C stuff in the air (including small drones). If they are over a certain size and weight, you need to be licensed and insured up the wazoo to even put any R/C's into the air.
Welcome to America home of the free!!! 😎 ⛈
As an FAA employee, someone who lives within 20 miles of O’hare and knows of a sanctioned RC field on one of the main approach paths to midway within 8 miles, and also someone in the hobby for the last 2 decades. I’m going to go ahead and say you do not understand the rules. All laws are federal, not local. So your rules in Wisconsin are no different than mine in Illinois or theirs in Ohio. The RC community is fairly self governed with a few actual faa rules which is next to almost nothing. I suggest you read up.
@@Emikolaitis Thanks for the reply. I will do that.
@@terryisaac8195 if you want the bare basics to be safe and covered. Register with the FAA for 10 bucks a year and display your number on all aircraft 250grams or more. Find the closest flying field near you and use that place. Some require memberships some are open to the public. As for insurance, join the AMA. Its 100 bucks a year, which isnt cheap, but covers up to a million in insurance if I remember correctly. You technically can also use your personal property insurance as well if you're a homeowner but why risk it. And you get magazines I believe from them for that price as well. Dont fly irresponsibly or over crowded areas. And that's pretty much it. Bare basics that is.
Only real restriction for airspace is actually flying WITHIN the confines of a towered airport's airspace. You can fly UNDER. But not within without permission from said tower. In which they will never give permission, but may deny. Typically that's only within 5 miles of the airport would you have to worry about being in their airspace as the first shelf is the only one that is from the surface and upward. Outside those five miles their airspace is all different but its higher than any normal person would fly their aircraft. At least via line of sight.
Hey Guys,
Can you pleeease check Out the new FMS 3000mm Fox Glider? It looks pretty outstanding to me!
Thanks;)♥️
Hullo there
Do a video just cover cheap planes like $40 to $90 planes
We miss DAVID!
How come you haven’t put this on the main?
I only just noticed this was on Tech
We started the tech channel for all of our educational and resource/review videos for those people already in the hobby. The main channel is now solely our crazy and cool projects that inspire new people into the hobby as well as inspire people already in the hobby to try new things.
Flite Test Tech wow! Awesome to get a reply from you guys! I understand now was just a little confused was all! Keep up the great videos and can’t wait to get your A10!
Can you review SUPER beginner plans that are cheap, good quality, & easy for ANYONE TO FLY please?
Look up the hobbyzone champ. 89.00 bucks with everything, that means charger, battery and controller, Spektrum Technology. You'll be flying like a champ in 2 flights. Awesome beginner plane.
@@satyanpatel6403 I don't know, I'm turning 15 in May & my mom doesn't like spending money on useless things. I had 2 rc planes before, but they both broke because they were like a Chinese off-brand plane. They didn't have moving parts like the rudder & stuff.
So disappointed to hear that it has the same fuselage. I can't tell you how many times the entire motor housing has been pulled away from the fuselage while in flight. I've had this happen on no less than 5 fuselages. There's also many stories on different boards out there of people that have experienced the same thing.
$239? A tad high, though it is a bigger motor.
Hello could you please review the cesna Skilane from Hobbyking. I‘m a very big cesnsa Fan but i don‘ t know if its a good plane and I want a Professional opinion before I buy shit. Thanks for your cool content I Love your Channel
Just so you guys will know, its not the same fuse, the X fuse has carbon rods in the front to make it tougher and the rudder and elevator are BIGGER then the original Timber.. its great on 4s but you can fly it fine on 3s with the stock prop. I have done it on video on my channel.. i have also flown it with 3s and the 13x6.5 prop video on my channel.. but i love it on 4s i'm a 3d Guy . Dude.. you need to learn to land LOL.. I can land it right at my feet. it will harrier/STOL land great
