That looked like fun! Great video Jon!
Thanks Brian!
I don't know if you realized it yet Jon, but you are at professional pilot level! seriously amazing flying!
Haha, thanks! Anyone can do what Jon is doing with enough practice.
Nothing short of phenomenal flying Jon! 👍
Thanks man! Like we said, enjoy flying however you want - that's the joy of this hobby.
More rc bush flying please! You’re doing a great job! Can’t await to see MPX FunCub content.
Will do!
Just ordered the new Turbo Timber EVO! It will be my second plane after the Apprentice STS and I can’t wait! Of course I ordered the 13x4 prop kit and now I will be ordering the Timber X steel shaft. Great video! Love your Timber content! I appreciate you taking the time to do this work, it really means a lot.
Happy to hear it - hope you enjoy! Consider joining up on our Discord server via bit.ly/TBRCDiscord - we've got a big community that enjoys helping newer pilots and you'll definitely learn a lot!
It took a while before I realized that the stickers were pasted in reverse. Brilliant!
Yeah, kinda had to! Our buddy Ciarán gave us a spare set of wings which were for the old blue Timber, so the decals had to be reversed because they didn't have red wingtips haha
It's my favorite too man haha I love this beast so much!! 0:33 And YES! I'm gonna marry my Timber and raise a bunch of Timblets!!😆I crashed it so many times and it's still going... it doesn't care... such a capable and durable airplane.
By the way incredible flying!! everyone on youtube fly this plane in boring circles... but you, your flying is something else. I love it! same for Tail Heavy Production.
Great flying Jon! Fun bird for sure!
Curious to see if you'll put your Timber through hell too. 😂
Great plane. Great review. Another banger from Two Bros!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Threading those needles!
🧵
Great flying and tips. I love my EVO too!
The TTE is my favorite bushy STOL plane due to my lack of talent in the programing department. I have come up with my own durable gear mod using the parts provided with the float's. Now I snap a axels instead of springs. Your flying skills are wicked good. Thanks for your channel and it's content.
Cheers
Happy to help! Nice mod idea too.
Now, that's some REAL flying. Awesome stuff man🤟
Just picked one of these up. The programming video was excellent! This video makes me want to fly it even more...of course in fria zones....😶
Great airplane wet or dry 😎
My Favorite too!
I'm very sure Jon that Zach from @TailHeavyprodictions would be very proud of this video. Another fantastic job on the video Jon👍👍😎😎👍👍
Oh yes. Give us that funcub footage.
That's also what I want to see
The NG would master that too probably. But the gear is a bit delicate at least for me 🤣
@@ficosk8 The gear on the original caused so many prop strikes. We went through three propellers filming it flying in the same locations as Timber. Timber never broke a single prop, but the Fun Cub chewed through them.
@@ficosk8 I agree. And no stock available at Mr MPx is killing me. Luckily I found an stl file on thingiverse to print some.
The Timber really is an epic plane, so versatile. It has some major flaws though. E.g. engine mount, undercarriage..
Legendary plane:)
I kinda like the decals better in reverse
Great Video Jon! And he means what he says!! Jon has helped me many times on Discord when I get lost in techno babble land 🤣
Glad to help!
Thanks for the heads-up on those updates. HH website says the 70A ESC and updated gear are available now. Had held off buying one, hoping they would improve both of these. Will get one through your link. 😎
Cheers, thanks!
@@TwoBrosRC Ordered, Thanks for the good reviews.
Unpopular opinion I like the white squares on the wings
That's certainly an opinion lol
Hauptsache having fun:))
The first plane you tested at the power lines looked much happier to be there
It was definitely easier to fly there, but Timber handled the terrain way better.
Been following your channel for a long time and I've watched every single of your videos about this plane, especially love to watch the way you fly this turbotimber evo in 3d. Unfortunately, the country I am from just do not have this plane, they do not sell it here. Any other bush plane you recommend that is capable of flying similar to this one?
Thanks so much! It's really a unique airframe, doesn't fly like much anything else out there, but the closest you might get is the FMS Maule.
thank you will definitely give that plane a look, by the way can not wait to see your full video on the flex innovation twin otter
Did you have to cutt the servos loose from the glue in the fuselage when replacing them?
What glue did you use to attach the upgraded servos in the fuselage?
You do need to cut them loose as gently as you can. We used FoamTac to secure the new servos.
This was awesome! I guess I'll wait for the updated version. Do you think they will come out with an updated Timber X 1.2M? Evo version? lol
That'd be neat if they did, for sure!
How does this compare to the FMS Maule 1.5 ? Thinking about getting the maule as first plane any suggestions sir ?
Maule is more powerful, but Timber is more fun in our viewpoint. Definitely wouldn't recommend it as a first airframe. Join us on Discord and we can help you figure out what's right for you: bit.ly/TBRCDiscord
Those white wing tips really throw me off lol is that a replacement wing?
Yeah, from the blue Timber. The wingtips aren't red so we had to reverse the decals for it to work.
Oh BTW Jon will you be any newer videos on your UMX's Waco Bipe,Turbo Timber Evolution&Timber X now since the warmer weather is here hopefully that means the winds should be calming down some??
Probably not, UMX videos are normally a one-and-done thing for us.
@@TwoBrosRC That's too bad Jon I just wanted to hear about your latest feelings on those UMX's just like what you did for this video. But hey it's cool!
There's not really a whole lot to cover with UMX models. They all have identical servos and fly really similarly - hence why there's not much of a point to going back to them again for us. Sorry about that!
@@TwoBrosRC It's cool Jon no problem at all thanks for the reply.
Is there a difference between this landing gear and the falconrc upgrade gear?
Yes, the new gear is tougher, lighter, and doesn't require modifying the plane or any of its components.
@@TwoBrosRC thanks.i assume the falconrc requires drilling? Whereas the kinadditive not?
You're correct.
@@TwoBrosRC great then I would rather go for the kinadditive.I like the black look
Thanks
Enjoying your videos all the way from South Africa
Are you still using the SMC batteries?
Yup.
How long you been flying ?
4 years now!
I love mine but hate it sometimes too.
Why's that?
@@TwoBrosRC it flys good after you replace all the factory servos. And v had it a while. So it took a while to get landing gear sorted out. Parts were on back order for a year it seemed like. And the factory gear was weak. It’s way better now that Iv sorted it out. But I had trouble with stock receiver as well. It would go into To safe mode after I got inverted. And would not roll back right side up.
You should review the new decathlon
Already shot it, just waiting to find a spot in the upload schedule for it!
ive never seen a plane abused more than acar
???
