I finally had the courage to madien my new umx timber evolution this weekend on my brand new NX8, so a double madien. I've only been flying for about 2 months. Started on the apprentice stol. Ive stopped crashing that and developed muscle memory on the sticks hence my courage to try this one. All I can say is this plane and the transmitter are absolutely sensational. I set it up exactly as the manual but I found that I needed high rates straight away. It flies so slow even without the slats fitted I could pluck it out of the sky if i wanted to. I also have the optional floats which I haven't tried yet. I started out on the 2's battery but today I also tried the 3s. For now I will stick with the 2's because it is less responsive to throttle on the smaller battery and easier to fly slowly. Thanks for your great review of this plane which helped me make the decision to buy this plane and also the nx8 from previous videos. If anyone has been sitting on the fence wondering if they should buy it or not for goodness sake go and get one get one, you will definitely not be disappointed. I've just ordered the unx air tractor too. 👍
Thank you for your testimonial! YOU are the exact person we're trying to reach!!! "Out of the chair - into the air" - and in 2-3 years, you'll be buying and flying WHATEVER YOU WANT ;) It's gonna be so much fun! Cherish these early days of knowing how to fly, they are some of the best in the RC experience.
...and KEEP AT IT! Time on the sticks is going to help reinforce your very limited muscle memory, and soon, you'll not even "think" about it at all...it's WEIRD when that happens...you will only make a mistake when you "Think about it" - and when this happens, I hope you remember this strange, off the wall comment, and laugh out loud!
Good luck, and thanks for being here with us!
Just a quick tip on awkwardness with doing work on your TT UMX. If you take the top piece of styrofoam and flip it over, you can put your UMX upside down onto it and it makes a great platform to do work on it safely.
NICE! Great idea Rick!!!!
For the landing gear being pushed into the foam problem: I took a few small squares of regular paper towels, positioned them between the plastic and fuselage, soaked it in super glue and it is now an extremely hard layer that the plastic can't penetrate. Works well.
Good idea, I used white gorilla glue tape, it’s been solid ever since, just cut small pieces to go underneath fuselage.
@@jjs3287 yeah clear tape was my first try but the plastic punched right into it denting the fuselage
We did this years ago on our video - LOL - I have to assume you're a long time follower, and were just making a hilarious dad joke, just now ;) GOOD WORK!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC dude you caught that lmao. I did it to my original timber when I watched you do it. Genius. Friggin love how you blew up. I remember you flying outside your old house dodging street lights lolol
I used a small bead of clear silicone adhesive to cushion and hold in place. It's been good so far, and I'm beat em up with a 3s 800mAh bat.
Hey Brian - I had exactly the same trim issues out of the box that you did. After seeing you mechanically adjust the rudder and elevator I sat down to do mine. I inadvertently bumped the elevator control rod while holding it with the pliers and it popped off the knuckle!! LOL - I accidentally figured out that you just pop them off, turn them to the right adjustment, them pop them back on!! Way easier that way - who knew?!
NICE!!! Wish I would have done that, but boy-o-boy, they were a pain without!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Absolutely. Like you, I completely ran out of trim on the elevator and the rudder was off by something like 20+ clicks. MUCH better now that it's adjusted! Thanks for the hugely helpful show!
Hi! i also had the same problem with elevator and rudder.Had to give 100% elevator adjustment and it still dont fly stright.Need some adjustment of the control rod here!
i did just pop em off and on again with my finger nails! love ur videoes Brian.I always go to your channel when i setup a new Eflite plane @@BrianPhillipsRC 🛩
I used a small set of ball link plyers I have for my helicopters to pop the control end off the ball link. I was never going to get a timber but Tower had almost half off scratch and dent sale so I had to get one. I loved the turbo timber so much after I flew it I ordered another for backup!! I love your videos Brian!!! You always do an awesome job and I'm so excited to see your place when the pond is finished!! Love what you and Megan are doing for the hobby!!!
You saved my plane. On the maiden last year, my UMX Timber leaped into a porpoise on takeoff and nearly did a peter pan into the asphalt. Was in the fight of my life to land it. Had no idea mechanical trim was a thing until I saw this video. I would've just ripped off the slats, I'm glad I didn't. After mechanically trimming the plane, I took it out Saturday, it's flight resembles and now rivals my favorite UMX Tractor. Can't thank you enough for that pro tip
Excellent! So many little tidbits we try to share, and so glad it made a difference for you! Thanks for the feedback, and thank you for being here with us!
I own one and LOVE it. Your demonstration was awesome. I left my slats off, and had no idea we could mechanically adjust trim. My plane tends to fly with a severe nose up attitude like yours did. Great video!
The battery info was awesome now i get it thanks!! Have been watching lots of videos and read forums witch was frustrating but you explained it flawlessly!! Super thanks Brian!!
I knew Horizon would do this. I couldn’t make myself like the UMX Timber X so I sold it. 3S and an improved backside is all this UMX Turbo Timber needed. Ordered one a few minutes after seeing the email. Way to go HH!
She's a winner!
Brian you're a great pilot. You humbly criticize yourself but you do a great job flying while narrating. Great work. I'm so happy to have found your channel. Thanks for all the work and information you put into all of this.
Wow.. what a great little flyer. I have my old V1 UMX TT with 2S.. I can’t wait to see how it flies under 3S power and improved stiffness. It should hold up to winds better I’m assuming.
Another great VID Brian and always thanks to the “Camera Crew” for withstanding the harsh cold to bring new content to us hungry grownups (aka kids).
Proud to be your 1st Patreon donator when it started!
I built a foam board UMX Timber X, I've been flying it on 2S, yesterday I finally got a couple 3S 500mah 50c batteries and omg I've never flown a plane with unlimited vertical till yesterday and holy cow what a fricn thrill 😁 I just had to share this with ya!!! hehe
Nice flying Brian 👍🏻 Absolutely love the this plane!!!
Brian- greatest complement from Horizon Elite Support when I told him of the issue you had. “I must say, there is nothing more thorough than a Brian Phillips RC Product Review. By the end of one of his videos, you know everything, good or bad, with the product. I will definitely pass on his discovery and technique to the product team.”
LOL - nice!!!
Order placed!
I do appreciate your effort to teach basic things for new folks. Charging is alway a mystery to folks, and is the one thing you need to do right AND respect. Charging is the one thing that will burn your house down if abused. How do I know? Back at the beginning of Lipos I came close to starting a garage fire due to an accident setting up a charger that didn’t have a balance port (they were just coming into existence). Fortunately I stopped charging when I saw the puff and got worried, I set battery in driveway to be safe. 1 min later, a pop and then a massive blue hot flame that would have set my garage ablaze. Lesson learned.
1C standard charging, and storing batteries at 3.8ish/cell in cool place like small fridge gives you years of use.
Keep up the great service!
yep
New to the hobby. Stepped up to this umx timber turbo Evo today. From the plane to the battery and charger and the radio, this video was so helpful. Thanks. Subscribed.
Super, grab and go airplane. The flaps are really nice and with landing flaps I was able to drop down from 30ft or so, power off, and glide down to a super smooth landing. SWEET!
I put a 3s 800mah battery in it and it flies fantastic with the added weight in the front!
Nice!!!
You are awesome Brian! Thanks for taking the time actually explain and show how to do it all.
Glad it was helpful! We try HARD to not leave out anything too important, but it would be impossible to hit every single question, so I feel real guilty when I can't get back to everyone on comments....so here I am ;)
thanks again for being here with us!
@@BrianPhillipsRC great to hear back from you!
I’m in Toronto Canada learning to fly and you’ve been super helpful. I have the SUS and the UMX Turbo timber evo.
Wow is taking SAFE off a different story haha
Off to buy some foam glue 😔
@@BrianPhillipsRC I unfortunately lost my UMX turbo timber evo on the weekend. Flew in some winds that were a little high, got too high…plane wasn’t fully recovered (wouldn’t roll left properly) and had to wave goodbye
Was thinking of getting the UMX timber X. I’ve seen your videos on the UMX X and her big sister haha. Do you think it’s best to stick with the evo if I can get my hands on one or give the X a shot?
around 6:00 you may have experienced a common issue as i’m sure you potentially know. the elevator under load will occasionally lock up. eflight is yet to address this and it’s very aggravating.
yeah, we usually set them to 95-97% if I remember, to resolve this issue.
Thanks! Your reviews are SO much more complete than those of the rcsaylors.
Rcsaylors are garbage haha
Thanks! I don't mean to pick on the Saylors, but love to hear that we've struck a chord with your needs!!! We love this stuff, and even in it's "imperfect state" there's some very good things coming from all the major brands right now. We're honored to be in a position to help showcase these products.
So couple weeks back I was playing with the UMX Turbo Timber in Real Flight and was thinking this is sweet little plane. Then my heart sunk when I found out this was discontinued. Then joy of joys, I get an email this morning from HH and this little joy is now available. Of course the first thing I thought was I need to go see if Brian has reviewed it yet. Dang not yet. Go get a cup of coffee, come back and refresh and boo-ya here it is! Just placed my order with the links cause I love to support you and your wonderful wife (camera crew)! Now then lets hope it gets here for my birthday that is in a couple of weeks! Love all your videos guys! Keep the long formats coming!
Thanks Michael, and I know some would be pretty worried, but this newer, better option is gonna fill the void near perfectly.
Alright Mr. Brian , I now have the DX7e. It is a game changer. Thanks for the advice.
I told you!!! Glad you sprung for it.... now for some more planes ;)
@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks again ! This video helped me understand how to better program it. It wasn't clicking for me. Have a great Week Sir.
SOLD OUT TILL JUNE NOW!! So glad mine is on its way as i type. :-) Thank you for this amazing video. I have watched it twice now in its entirety!
I love your videos with the way you review, and you are the MAN. We love ya brother.
Thanks!!!
All you needed to do to adjust the elevator ball link is to put a little flat head between the horn and the top edge of the ball link and twist. The ball will pop out of the plastic quite easily. Make your adjustment, then pop it back on by pinching it between your finger tips.
I think I just found my next plane! Great video Brian! Have you seen the new freewing airliner? I think you need one of the those! Megan, 100% THE BEST camera crew!!
I finally got this plane. It's my first hobby grade plane. Thanks for all the information on this one. Definitely a big reason I got this plane. I did figure out that you can get to that screw on the elevator without punching a hole in the foam. I just used my ifixit kit and was able to slightly bend the tab and take the screw out and adjust the trim then put it back in with no issue.
I wish I knew what half of what you said means. I'm sure I'll learn it. I received this plane today. It is my very first RC plane. My 3s batteries arrive in three days. That being said, I probably won't fly it for at least a month. I want to spend many hours training on RealFlight 9.5 before trying to fly the real thing. Thanks for this video. It's great to get some tips before taking the first flight.
I just got mine today. Both aileron servos were stuck. Weird. Got those freed up and I love it. Flys awesome. The envelope is huge on this model.
It's still on backorder everywhere I have looked here on the east coast.
@@marquisbetz7694 I got mine at hobby town. Was the last one, display model hanging from the ceiling;). I’ve got about 12 flights on it now and love it. It’s so cool.
I need to stop watching this channel, every time I do a new plane arrives at my door. you guys are great!
I'm so glad I can help enable your addiction ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC i hope you have an extra room,for when his wife divorces him.😂😂
We are in the same boat !
I,m sooooo excited, I just bought the new UMX TT Evo!!! Everywhere had them back ordered until June and I only had to drive 65 miles to put my hand on one, now if the weather will cooperate I'll be flying tomorrow!
Yo brian. Just setting up my umx evo, and my flap settings in the manual are the opposite to what yours say. When deploying flaps, should the elevator compensate by going up or down?
The elevator will compensate for inboard flaps, like on this plane, by pointing the tip of the elevator down...aka making the nose point down.
Here's another way of thinking about it...
When you deploy the flaps, the plane will naturally start "ballooning" or flying up. We want to counteract this asap, and in a nice linear fashion to kinda match the speed of the flaps deployment. This will help the plan to fly straight and level, and slow down, if all other controls are set.
If you're not sure the elevator is moving the right way, set the elevator compensation WAY HIGHER and see what direction it moves, then set it to the called out value in the manual.
Good luck - you got this. This is easy once you GET IT...I promise.
@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for the reply Brian, love your videos. I made a proper mistake earlier, hit a tree, broke the rudder off and half the front fuselage. It's really ruined my birthday haha.hopefully get her back in the air with some glue and tape
Managed to get out tonight now she's glued, adjusted the elevator like you had to in the vid and she flew absolutely perfect.
Awesome! I’ve been waiting to see this video all day! Looks perfect, like I love my Turbo Timber but sometimes I wish I had a little bit more power! Really looks impressive! Should of had the floats out on the snow!
With floats, no more surface tension getting in the way of breaking from the water!!! I hadn't even thought of that!
Did you add the slats right away or did you fly it without them before deciding to put them on? Haven’t flown mine yet but not sure if I should put them on or not
Mr. Phillips always creating the best videos!
Hey Brian, i watched your 2hour and 36minute video on the E-flite Slow Ultra Stick 1.2mm bnf basic with AS3X and SAFE select.... by the time it was done, i wanted more..... great job on the servo mode.... i have a quick question, i noticed on this video when you set the dual rates and expo you put 100% rate 5% expo on high rate
100% rate 10% expo on mid rate and
90% rate 20% expo on low rate
My question is did you mean to put 90% on low rate instead of 70% because im following everything you did, i just wanted to make sure that is what you meant to do....thanks , i just bought this plane and a E-flite 800mm draco and heading over to that video next..... thank you for your detailed explanation, i truly appreciate it. You and your camera crew are absolutely the best on UA-cam......PERIOD!!!!!!!
Thanks for the kind words regarding the length of the video ;)
AND, yes, the low rates are MORE expo plus almost all the rates. This gives you authority if you pull the stick all the way back, but the center is "softer" in the "lower" rates.
You did say how I set them correctly. This is kinda my "standard" setup, but it and anyone else's setup will be somewhat subjective, so take it worth a grain of salt. You might want MORE expo or LESS rates, but we're trying to hit a good starting point for most.
Always an awesome video and completion experience with BrianPhillipsRC ! The best way to start my Day ! Thanks Brian and Megan ! :}
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Johnny!
Brian, Thank you for the explanations. Are you able to Program Crow into this plane?
bro your flying is amazing and your wife is amazing
Thank you so much!!!
I had to do the same adjustment on my Timber X. I pre-ordered one of these!
No need for hole! :)
When I went to do link adjustments, all I had to do was pop the ball-link off, adjust, and put back on. Maybe your early production was setup different.
One of my FAVs! I switched out to xt30 and run 850 mah 3s , Velcro on battery and on place cg
Very fun plane!
I was totally thinking about making this thing take a bigger battery. The battery tray/opening is HUGE, and she flies like she could handle more payload. Now I need to play with this idea some more. Thanks Hola ACchillin
I been flying my Duet, got me a couple other beginning planes, plus, that UMX Turbo Timber Evolution, I’m scared to go at it with it. Got an DX8G2 transmitter and followed the instructions by the book. Any words you can recommend for me to learn? Please advise
Don't be scared. You don't need to be scared. Fly, fly, and fly some more, and you will eventually not be scared. It takes time, and some people just aren't afraid, while others (normal people) just have to work through that process. I'm one of those and still get the "heebee jeebees" when I'm flying a new plane, especially a FAST one that might eat up our relatively short runway.
I received my brand new NX8 today. I did buy it from your link to help you out. This plane looks like a good starting point to get back into RC, even tho it is small. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Lee! It will help out, and you'll love it! Good luck
I wish Eflight would come out with some quick adjustments for these.
Also, I didn't mind the little U shape adjustments.
Yeah, it's cool to see real linkages.
However, at least make the screw easy to get to.
I agree..."U"'s were fine in my book...but I guess later on, with some of the next generation UMX'es coming soon, the ball links are gonna come in handy ;) ;) :)
@BrianPhillipsRC Yeah I def agree. Valid Point.
Looking fowrad to getting mine when they get here.... (Switzerland)... we cannot have enough Timbers... ;) I always loved the UMX Turbo Timber, but I am happy I can get 3S power now and that will help to fly it in more windy conditions.
It will definitely help!
Hey Brian, greetings from Wisconsin! This is my first hobby grade plane, running a nx10 also. My book has different values for the flaps/elevator setup. It is opposite. What I need to know is: when flaps go down does the elevator go down also? Thanks!
I need some advice!!! What should I get!! The umx turbo timber evo or the umx a-10? I got a fair size field behind my apartment complex that I fly at. Does the turbo timber evo fly great?
Turbo Timber UMX will be better for a small area. The A-10 is great, but it's less forgiving, and less "every-day-flier"...
BUT the correct answer is, of course, BOTH ;)
bprc.me/Timber
VS
bprc.me/A10
Just watched Horizon Hobby's preview vid.. Awesome plane, gotta get one!!! hehe
Great, clear practical advice. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! We really appreciate the feedback!
It's a bit late but it looks like your leading edge slats are touching the wing on the trailing edge. The slats are supposed to stand off the wing and allow air to pass under them. This slows the air over the wing creating more lift.
If you could see closer, you'd see there is a gap. It's very small, so understandable hard to see on even our video.
BUT yes, there is supposed to be a gap, as you said.
Very nice! :) Perfect for flying around the house.
Great video Brian! I learned a lot of useful stuff. Thanks!
Great video! i believe those are ball links you need a pair of ball link pliers to take them off or try a small flat head screw driver.
I like the flying in the snow flakes even better man. I'll get that one through you next week cause I want something to jack around with that's no hassle. But good job man. 👏
Thanks, and snow flying is so much fun, but way more fun if it's coming straight down!!! This was WINDY and snow ;(
@@BrianPhillipsRC except you made it look smooth and EZ.
Brian is the mix settings something you do standard for all of your planes or just this model?
Yep, just tweak it here and there, and it's almost never necessary.
Thanks Brian! You rock!
Remember on ur transmitter, you have a sub trim option.
That sub trim option allows you to put the transmitter settings basically back to a new neutral, for lack of better words.
Anyway, mess around with that one day after you have trimmed her up.
no way thats a thing???
@Carl 0s yeah it is lol.
Almost no one uses the function.
I've rarely ever seen anyone demonstrate how to use it.
@@todtalk3912 I've used sub trim settings several times. Comes in handy if needed.
That nose in looks familiar! Apparently the elevator servo sticks as it did on my brand new turbo timber. Mine stuck in a dive and was a total loss. Since then I’ve heard of it happening to others. Looks like they still haven’t fixed the issue even on the evo…
Great Video Brian. I need help on my umx tt evo. I need to mechanically adjust my rudder and elevator but cannot find a ball link pliers small enough for this plane. Any suggestions?
When I set up transmitter in this configuration can i copy it the same on all my models? And then adjust as needed? And also you have this set up for experienced and full safe or is it intermediate safe? I fly without any safe but I like for my planes to flip right side up if I loose orientation
You can make a "Template" but planes are not all the same, so from time to time, you'll need to do it differently, so I suggest you spend 5-10 minutes per model to get to know HOW they work, and then work through this setup. It's incredibly easy, once you know what you're doing. I can make a full model in maybe 2-3 minutes, but a more complex might take me an hour or better, and this only happens once in a blue moon.
Either way, to answer your question - YES, there is a way to make a TEMPLATE.
@@BrianPhillipsRC do you have a video on making a template? That would be awesome!
These will fly fine with a 3s 800mAh bat. But the landing gear take a beating with all that extra weight. I'm not greasing anything, yet. But, I'm new.
All the Foam2Foam and HD clear packing tape doesn't detract from these new UMX's either. Take my word for it 👍
Have you ever bound this plane with the Dxs transmitter? Curious if it's worth it. I have an aeroscout now
You can bind DSMX to this plane, but I would never do it. Way too many features you'll be giving up. I LOVE FLAPS, and I want all the goodies that come with it.
As to if you CAN do it...I believe you can, but I personally haven't done it, and don't have plans to do it.
If you're TIGHT on cash, you could get an OpenTX Radio, and do what you want, but then you won't get the help we offer, or at least some of it won't be relevant to you. Just a thought, but I'd love to see you get the NX10 while they're on sale ;)

The Saylors also ran out of elevator trim - (or nearly so).
I'm surprised that Eflite didn't provide an elevator trim hole during manufacturing.
I didn't catch their video, but saw some of their Instagram blasts. It was an easy fix, but still kinda annoying
we all were hoping for this!!!
I preordered mine finally got it 6 months after I seen this video September 26th and still has the same problems as yours did. Horizon Hobby better step up their game otherwise foreign competition going to take over the hobby
You're JUST getting it now???? REALLY???? That's crazy! Very sorry for your wait!
@@BrianPhillipsRCI got it yesterday 😂 your video helped me a lot thank you
"i win you win we win together" brian mf phillps RC BABY!!! WOOOO
Thanks! We do all win ;)
How come we didn't get to see the first maiden flight? I got mine last Friday. Been terribly windy here all spring but had a surprise lull Sunday. First flight lasted only seconds and if it is repairable it will probably require some new foam. I put the CG right on 28mm and the plane was uncontrollably tail-heavy. Even you crashed. Reminds me of the debacle with the UMX Timber X where they moved the CG several mm. I'm so disappointed right now, to put it mildly. Saw another guy's video on this plane and he put the real CG at 35mm and it flew great.
I’m getting ready to buy the plane. Can you use 2S 280mah batteries?
Yes, but I would HIGHLY suggest 3S
Thank you!
I'm looking at buying a umx to learn to fly I am not a complete novice so I'm going to buy either the umxnair tractor or the timber umx what would you suggest.
Thanks
Bill
What's up Brian. My main question is how can you compare the flight of this plane compared to the Timber X UMX? The Timber X UMX is one of my favorites to fly. Especially here in Ft. Lauderdale where my flying area size is small. Its hard to find a place to fly in this concrete jungle.
Timber X is more Crazy than this, but both can be flown in a small space. This one is SLOWER, and with leading edge slats installed, you can really go slow, if you wish. I prefer inboard flaps, so this one wins out over the Timber X for me...BUT the Timber X UMX is less crazy than the 1.2m counterpart vs 1.5m Turbo Timber Evo.
Brian, will the S44 charger work for the 2S n 3S batteries for the Turbo Timber Evo? THX, GARY
"we don't call her camera crew off camera"
Immediately I start thinking of hilarious moments where you can call someone camera crew.
"And do you, Brian, Take this lovely camera crew to be your wife?"
"I do"
Hello Brian you broke the prop on your slow stick, can you tell me what prop you changed to on your new slow stick ?
great umx flyer Brian, do you think the 3 blade prop will fit the umx timber x?
🛩🛩
I don't actually know, but the Timber X is WAY more aggressive in general, so not sure how this will work out.
which one do you prefer for flying in tight spaces ? the umx timber evolution or the umx timber x.
How does this thing go landing on grass? I dont have a runway on my local park field so currently im using an omp t720 and just belly landing in on grass
Should be fine in short grass, but honestly, if you wanted to make it land on a short strip, you could quite literally bring a rug and roll it out, kinda like the heli guys do for landing pads ;) This one will land in such a small spot!!! I've landed mine on a moving SUV (we'll, the less capable 2S offering from long ago) - that was so fun!
In preflight check right aileron servo freeze issue was resolved by a gentle pinch of the servo housing to wake it up and it would be good for the entire flight. But then odd flight behaviors became more prevalent which I attributed to wind variance. I set the max to 97%. That's not it. I don't want to crack the fuselage to replace the right servo but what choice do I have? I hope there's a fix you see that I don't
Hey Brian, I have the red Umx TT Evo. The flying range I get is half of what you get before it failsafe and falls out of the sky. Do u know what is going on ? Thank You !
WOW - that's bad! Try it with another plane...does it do it too? If so...FIX YOUR TRANSMITTER ASAP!!!
If not, you need to open up the plane, and see how the antenna got cut off! I've had it once before on one of my Sport Cub S UMX'es...once fixed, she was 100%
@@BrianPhillipsRC my other planes have great range. I will check on antenna. Thank You !!
If it’s ball joint connection why didn’t you just separate the ball joint instead of piercing the fuselage?
I don't trust pulling off the ball joints on this thinner style foam, but you are correct, I should have done this...
It is a great looking little plane. Might have to replace the umx timber x as my gym flyer. I bet this one slows down more.
On the flap system, is position 2 take off and position 3 landing? Thx!!!
There's 3 positions, but they're labeled 0,1,2
0 away from me and my NORMAL FLIGHT MODE (No Flaps / Flaps Stowed)
1 being the middle, TAKEOFF FLAPS
2 toward me, and FULL / LANDING Flaps
...but, this is subjective and you can do whatever you like.
I think a ultra low profile screwdriver/ratchet may do the trick for elevator adjustment
Brian, what are your thoughts on a newbie to RC flying this airplane? (I do fly full scale, general aviation airplanes, so I have aeronautical experience.) - TIA
Should be fine. There's maybe "easier" but this one is a good choice still. The STOL Apprentice 700mm UMX might be a BETTER choice, since it's easier to fly, but the Timber UMX is GREAT too.

Thank you!!!
Well I look like an Idiot!!!
I told HH there was a problem with mine, because one aileron moved full, and the other side only moved a little bit. Now I see yours does the same thing. My question is why? Every other plane I have they move the full amount in opposite directions.
Most importantly, how do I change it so they both move equally in opposite directions?
Makes Cornholes difficult with the ailerons like this.😢
Hi Brain. Thanks a lot for this Video. Normaly I fly helis and now I want to start with a small plane like this. Do you think that this plane is good for learning flying planes? Does this system work with my old Spektrum DX6 (from 2015)? Many thanks and many greetings from Germany. BR Claus
The Rx is DSMX, but you should be able to use DSM2, as well...but not 100% if you're DSM, or DSM2 in that DX6. There may be some difficulties getting SAFE turned on, but only because you probably DON'T have FORWARD PROGRAMMING...but there is an ALTERNATIVE way to set up SAFE, which is flipping switches, and the manual outlines this.
If you DO get one, would you do us the honor for following our EU link, and seeing if all goes to plan?

...we JUST got this link, and don't have EVERY link together, but rather it's just a "Master Link" - which takes you to Horizon Hobby EU, then you would find the plane like any other time visiting the site. We were told we didn't have access to this, but gained it a while back...so we're just starting to roll out the link, and it would be greatly appreciated if we could get some real feedback from you, when and if you use it. BUT I don't want to pressure you either way, if this plane, or the timing doesn't work out...just a favor, if you will.
Thanks in advance!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Hello Brain. Thanks a lot for your feedback. 👍👍👍I have tested the link and itś working. I think the DX6 Gen2 has DSMX . I did not totally understand Safe mode with switche but I will check the manuel. Many greetings Claus
Hello Brain.I have now received the plane. Binding with the DX6 Gen2 has worked well. Unfortunately, the rudder is already almost completely loose from the factory. The styrofoam connections that hold the rudder flexibly are broken.Only the tapes still hold the rudder. What kind of adhesive can I use to glue the rudder flexibly? Do you have a tip? The dealer can not deliver a replacement at the moment and even Horizon in Germany has no stock. Therefore my question to you. Thank you for your feedback. Many greetings Claus
Merci pour le clip je suis du Québec
wonder if its worth installing the Leading Edge Slats on it ... what are the Pros and Cons?
It's actually easy to pry the black plastic linkage off of the ball, make your adjustment, and snap it back on the ball. No need to puncture your nice new airplane. I'm just saying. :)
If you can do it without damaging the control horn / elevator, this is always better. A few people pointed out my mistake a while back, but honestly, I don't mind making access holes to get a screw driver in there. I used to do it all the time on AILERON servos...you know how you can't usually get the control arms to pull off without first removing the screw...without this diagonal hole/channel down to the Phillips head screw, you'd have to do even more work to get in there...worked like a charm then, and still now, if necessary.
Finally, my ball link pliers are too big for this one, if I remember right, but to all their own - thanks for the tip
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks Brian. It's been ridiculously hot here in central Texas this summer. Watching you fly in the snow was good for my mental health. LOL Plan on ordering this plane soon. I'll be sure to use your link.
I want this plane but don’t have a Spektrum transmitter…will my skyfly bind with it?
I flew the UMX TT and the Skipper in double digit winds yesterday from the boat. You just have to land down wind to get her back. I think reverse thrust would only sink the tail. I don't even use reverse thrust on the only water plane I have with it built in (Avios Albatross v2). I also think 3S is just silly on this plane. UMX Timber X, yes. But not the TT. Still, that shows how good the UMX Turbo Timber really is. Fresh lipstick is all they could come up with to "evolve" it. LOL. As luck would have it, I prefer the red.
I just bought one and a couple other things with your link I think. How do I know it worked?
We can try to track down your sales, if you're concerned. Email (in about tab) us and we'll check from your order number...if you want. But generally speaking, we've had pretty great luck with Horizon Hobby. Some other affiliates are less clear, but it's just kind of a trust thing. We have worked with people that have screwed us over, and we very QUICKLY disassociate from them, since we would HATE to send our audience into a bad transaction.
...but, Megan has some tools she can use to check on this for you, if you really want to know.
Hey Brian, what's the differential for the ailerons mean exactly? Thanks I'm somewhat new here.
Since Brian is busy.......the up aileron has more throw than the down aileron. Not sure why though 🤔
@@stananderson8146 how does it effect the flying?
Differential is when ailerons go more up then the other side goes down. This is to take advantage of the efficiency of the aileron that's moving up. This is supposed to help, but I've played with it for years, and have had a hard time seeing a big difference. In fact, you can use NEGATIVE differential, as well, and this makes the plane act super-wonky!
Basically, it's a "play with it and see" kinda thing, in my experience, but it's fun to do once in a while, but to be honest, is it worth a channel??? (Not in my book - Crow would be worth it, but not differential)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you. Appreciate the help.
Great video Brian. You can’t have too many Timbers in my honest opinion!
100%
Would you choose this or the umx timber x
THIS. I like the Timber X better than I expected, but this one is more my style.
Lights. Low and Slow. And heavy wet snow.
What's not to like?
Does the umx evo seem quieter than the umx t x to you? Thanks
I like when the camera person gives wind speed and direction. You should add that to future vids as standard.
The umx timber x had the same issue with mechanical
Adjustment of the elevator. Horizon even had a short video on it. I believe if you trim full up elevator you can get your screwdriver through the hole in the vertical stab and just be able to get to r the elevator ball link without putting a new hole in your fuselage 😬. They also recommend to reinstall the ball link on the outside of the control horn for easier adjustment I. The future 👍
Thanks Travis, and I'd still probably just heat up the driver and plunge it through, if we hadn't have been in such a hurry at the moment. I do wish they would have put it the other way, but think the control rod would have bound more in that direction :(
@@BrianPhillipsRC definitely looks like it would be a pretty steep angle mounted on the outside. I didn’t do it on my timber x for that reason but horizon said it would be ok 🤷♂️😂
I got mine and crashed but fixed it with hot glue. works just fine now
Throttle trim is off the left stick and elevator trim is off the right stick....me thinks Brian is a bit dyslexic? Haha had to jab you on that one! Great Demo Dude
Thanks and LOL ;)
