Word of caution - if you set up thrust reversing, remember to check your prop adapter frequently. My prop adapter worked loose after only a few ground tests of reversing. I didn't catch it, and it managed to depart the aircraft rapidly in flight... In my case it wasn't a big deal, because I was able to dead stick the plane in without issue, and the wayward prop was found, but it could have easily ended much worse.
Another great video. Glad you've got Mike to help with your location production, and guessing a second assistant on drone coverage. Makes a big difference, thanks.
Great plane. Still shocks me to watch more than a few American youtube vids with pilots firing up their prop while they are standing in front of it! In Australia all clubs train you to never be standing at the front of the plane once its armed - and to test the throttle while being in front is just… unheard of! Love your vids - be safe :-) No offence intended.
Ya there's no doubt the Timber Evo is sick.(kinda a Draco little bro) You gotta get out of safe, your missing out. Stick with one of your trainer planes I've seen you get, and just do it. lol Throw it in experienced mode and go>
Great video, awesome plane. Check out some Flite Test foam board builds for cheap planes to build and crash. Good way to expand your skills for the real models!
I liked the headlights on it but the lights on the wing tips could be brighter. I really loved the hinges on the wing I have big time problems putting on my landing gear just like Brian Phillips. Going to fpv mine just waiting for the funds for the DJI stuff 🤗 Thanks for the videos have fun stay safe 😜
Boy, the UA-cam algorhythm takes a big fr0sty dvmp on my genre of copyrighted music flight videos and my channel by comparison, and it's 2.5x older. Yeah, UA-cam can go Ffff itself.
This plane is cool, the foam production have now a few fun plane that change from usual trainer. Could be slow and chill or a bit faster and do some good figures. That Great Thank you sharing is this and have so fun doing your vids And Mike know how to fly that's cool ! Now made a scenary with trx4 come from bush to plane, fly and come drop him few things he needs to go back to bush. Great vids ! Cheers from France 🇲🇫
Absolutely great video! I just got into RC aircraft this last week. Bought the Super Cub S2 for my first plane. Glad I found your channel and have subscribed. If this is the Skypark area I think it is, I used to fly in 1:1 scale planes with my father from the old airport that the area got it's name from back in the 80's. My parents still live in the house I was raised in about 5 miles from here. Great stuff! Thank you for your hard work. Cheers!
I've just ordered the paint to do my leading edge slats. Great colour scheme. I'll be ready for its maiden flight this Saturday, 23/7/22. Great informative video, thanks. Doug
My first flight with a brand spanking new e- flight foamy valiant 1.3meter.... I was so so so very nervous. You could not have gotten a stick pin up my ass with a jack hammer I was so puckered. I was actually exauhsted afterwards from being so damn nervous.It was not enjoyable but I got the plane on the ground safely after flying the plane and to me that was a major milestone. I was very happy and much less nervous next flight. I still have that airplane and it's still flyable.
Hi .so I have a futaba radio 16IZ . To use this plane . I’ll just have to put my futaba receiver in the plane . Then I’ll be good .sorry for dumb question . Been out of the rc flying for over ten years . And just getting back into it . Thank s 😊
Nobody is talking about the steel driveshaft? Am I crazy or what, I am pretty sure I saw on hobby horizon that they are coming with driveshaft in steel 😮, this is crazy, is it a mistake, i dont get it, I am running to the store as soon as they get this golden nugget. The only thing missing right now in this series of axial 1/24 is a nice 6x6 😊
I love your video's. I'm wanting to get first plane and am torn between the Turbo Timber Evolution and the Carbon Cub that you also reviewed. in your opinion, which would be best for a beginner?
Hallo Turbo Timber evolution Gemeinde. Ich habe mir gerade das Model gekauft. Eine Frage??? Was ist mit Drosselschnitt -130?????? Kann mir bitte jemand helfen??? Im voraus danke ✌️🍀
Hello, I recently theTurbo Timber Evolution. Have an issue with the flap/elevator adjustment. I set system as per user manual. However the airplane , still have tendence to nose-up. What do you recommend, reducing flap deflection or increasing elevators nose-down effect? Thanks for your help. Regards
@@RCGirl Yes I follows the instructions from manual. 15 % pos down at flap in TO pos, and 30% with flap in landing pos. My thinking is that as airplane now has slats, may be need little more.
Love this plane would like to have one especially with the float that come with it. I live by the water so that would be great to have one if I could find it provide the price is right. thank You for the show.
Yes, the price is right and the plane seems to be fun to fly. But I'm still flying with JR and 72MHZ technology (probably the last one to do so in USA ;o) Also I like wood/balsa feeling over the foam technology. I did upgrade all my planes from gas to electric (no more cleaning after flying) but I still have many JR 9 channels receivers that I don't want to trash.
Hello, please , can you confirm me , the flap /elevator adjustment with the Turbo Timber evolution ? I tried the adjustment indicated in the manual, but the airplane trends to nose up. What is better, reduce the flap deflection or increasing the elevator nose down adjustment? I saw that in your video you did not mention the transmitter adjustment on this particular. Thank you for your help. Regards
Reduce throttle. Elevator should be adjusted at landing speed. Lower the flaps and set throttle to maintain altitude. The elevator will control speed. Once the elevator is trimmed for a slow speed a little faster than stall, use the throttle to control sink rate. Small adjustments when landing
Hi, I just watched one of your videos for the first time. A tip from a professional instructor. Spent more time checking your speech and less time being cute. Your tend to talk too fast and your voice fades at the end of your sentences. Remember, you're instructing not just chatting. Good luck in the future. Rusty
I'm def not an instructor! Just trying to show people different models and share my progression in the hobby. I still struggle with flying and talking lol
@@RCGirl Once you understand the basics, which you obviously do, the thing to do is fly, fly, fly. Turn SAFE off and push the envelope. Stay with a given plane until you master it. If you have a bump up, which you probably will, take the opportunity to improve your skills in doing repairs. And don't forget to have fun!
Thanks for the video. I bought a TTE last week. If I may-a dead-stick landing refers to a landing where the airplane has lost power. Having the motor at idle does not make for a dead-stick landing.
Alternative process, two to three light coats of polycrylic with a brush, spray prime, sand, spray prime, sand as many times as needed for finish. Then spray primary color. The polycrylic protects the foam from the spray paint propellant that destroys the raw foam.
Which cub model would you recommend for an experienced beginner? I used to fly gliders/electric/very little nitro, but its been years! I just dont wanna pick something that ill outgrow too quickly. Is the carbon Z cub 2.5m in the beginner/intermediate with SAFE?
That's what designer Matt Andren wanted it to do origionally..high lift wing w/slotted flaps, only about 3 pounds, so thrust was close to weight, would only do 45 mph but would take off in it's own length could climb like a lost balloon.. I love confined space/BUSH STOL w/mine all year round.. SO capable.. 4S + the 3 blade prop gobbles up sky quick!🤠
I would put your reversing on a 3 position switch and set middle to neutral, i messed up and almost crashed my timber x by accidentally hitting the wrong switch. Just a suggestion
Yeah the skills are ok. However, who flys their RC aircraft directly over the top of children and adult's? Time 21:58 in the video! Never a good idea no matter how good the electronics are (IE: Smart Technology).
Agreed. Its not a safe practice to do so. And of course some people will make poor choices and put themselves in danger - but its our responsibility to take evasive action - call out politely and warn people to please back away for their own safety - choose a safer place to fly or use your spotter (camera man) to go and clear onlookers away. Props can really hurt or disfigure people. Please be safe.
Please do not do motor test standing in front of your unrestrained plane on the tailgate. Flying with people walking down the side and on the end of your "runway" walking dogs is a big safety fail. Fix your unsafe practices and lack of proper AMA (If you even know what that stands for) Safety rules.
Totally agree. It actually triggers me to see this. I’d get slammed at my club for this. Also kids on runway.. that’s a go around, I’d expect to be spoken to harshly at our club for landing in that situation. Perhaps rules are different in America?
In America, they're more like guidelines than actual rules. We believe in being responsible for ourselves rather than bending to every whim of government.
@@RCGirl I’ve flown a real one, pretty spectacular, if you ever do, would be thrilled to hear how you like it, light be worth the buy :) thanks as always
Painting the slats black was a fabulous idea!! It looks so much better than leaving them white.
looks like de-icing boots
Word of caution - if you set up thrust reversing, remember to check your prop adapter frequently. My prop adapter worked loose after only a few ground tests of reversing. I didn't catch it, and it managed to depart the aircraft rapidly in flight... In my case it wasn't a big deal, because I was able to dead stick the plane in without issue, and the wayward prop was found, but it could have easily ended much worse.
I wonder if a touch of lock tite (blue) might prevent that
Awesome job to both of you! I love that you painted the slats black that looks great. 👍👍
Another great video. Glad you've got Mike to help with your location production, and guessing a second assistant on drone coverage. Makes a big difference, thanks.
Very practical tips of how to paint foam. Thanks!
Like those black slats. 👍 You have the sharpest looking TT EVO on YT.
❤ Awesome really enjoyed your video,still on flight simulator 🙈
It looks so good I stole your idea for the slats. The plain white looked so bad sad with all the rest of the color on the wing. Thanks!
That was great to see. One weird thing though was watching it go into reverse. That’s a first for me.
Great plane. Still shocks me to watch more than a few American youtube vids with pilots firing up their prop while they are standing in front of it!

Have you heard of anything from this new remote ID law that is supposed to come into affect in September sounds horrible let me know
Did you have any overheating issues with the ESC? I keep seeing mixed reviews. Some say no overheating and some saying serious issues.
I will check on the next flight. Batteries always come out pretty warm, but haven't had any temp warnings or anything.
Only on Big 4s Batt's, try moving ESC forward in fuse.

@@RCGirl Yes I follows the instructions from manual. 15 % pos down at flap in TO pos, and 30% with flap in landing pos. My thinking is that as airplane now has slats, may be need little more.
Reduce throttle. You need less than 1/2 for level flight.

Hi RC girl.
looks great top battery hatch something wish my carboncub had
I got the 2.1M Carbon Cub .. worth it, came w/free top battery hatch! 🤣lol
DEFINITELY WORTH SAVING FOR!🤠
Nice.... what's your favorite plane thus far ?
🥰🥰🥰
If jeep made a plane, this would be it. Very cool
If Toyota made a plane!
I would love to get the Evolution : )
I always enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing
Turn off the safe or you will never learn to fly correctly. Btw it's a wing Spar.
Cool bananas 👍
Nice plane, love the drone shots!
Yes, the price is right and the plane seems to be fun to fly.
But I'm still flying with JR and 72MHZ technology (probably the last one to do so in USA ;o)
Also I like wood/balsa feeling over the foam technology.
I did upgrade all my planes from gas to electric (no more cleaning after flying) but I still have many JR 9 channels receivers that I don't want to trash.
When 2.4ghz started to become popular, spektrum had a module that plugs right into the JR. It works great. I like the feel of JR transmitter.
Great plane improved..great review!😉👍
Hope she doesn't cuss this time. Hope ends at 12;50.

HH gotta come up with a twin 64mm EDF being 737 with thrust reverse!~
Hi,since you started flying rc planes with the sport cub,can you please tell me where the CG is? I'm a newbie and would like to know before I fly it.
Thanks for the video. I bought a TTE last week. If I may-a dead-stick landing refers to a landing where the airplane has lost power. Having the motor at idle does not make for a dead-stick landing.

I like the black slats!
Awesome vid, you mention that this would be a great second model, what would recommend as a first? Proper newb here, been on a huge car kick
Something like the sport cub s or mini apprentice. I have vids on both ua-cam.com/video/x56wJmEaFeU/v-deo.html
Awesome thank you
Another possibility is the HobbyZone AeroScout S2 1.1 m. It has a tricycle gear and a pusher prop which gives good survivability in a crash.
I'm in the same situation and I think I will try one of the Test Flite foamboard planes. I like to build and they seem to bounce.
