Now make a video all the timbers in a contest OG timber, timber x, turbo timber, timber evo, timber 110 35-50cc, timber sws, twin timber, monster timber, UMX timber x, UMX og timber, UMX turbo timber evo, and super timber.
Umx turbo timber and umx turbo timber evo
Yes please so that
Timbers are ok. Fun Cubs are better.
@@FarmerFpvthey are actually two very different planes you know. Funcub is way better for bushflying and flying slow in confined areas. Funcub is great at maneuvering and doing tight turns at slow speeds. The timber struggles with that. But the timber is way better at aerobatics and handling wind. In my opinion.
And I donât think the timber is made just for bushflying.

Oh damn đđ€Ł
Linear servos in the next H9 70cc!
The servo crap is SO true.
Bright red is great for the tiny ones, seeing them clearly always helps. White ones make my distance glasses overheat. And thanks for your attitude to linear servos!
I love mine. 100's of flights. Had to replace an aileron servo. But, I've been dogging the plane for months. So, I'm not sweating a little maintenance. Just returned home from a trip to the Adirondacks NY. And the Baby Draco was a total sanity saver. Those long days with extended family at a lake seem so much more endurable with Baby Draco breaks. It definitely takes off and lands from beach sand.
Fun video, fellas. Thanks for your $.02 đđ
Please make a review on the FMS Kingfisher It is a great bush Plane. Can Hover and Harrier.
Nice â€(the draco has the frame of a wilga 2000 so it will fly similar)đ
micro twimber would go crazy
Micro trimber when?
@@Tommy-pv1vh That's what I'm waiting for, ideally with normal servo plugs that can be connected to a flight controller for backyard FPV.
Eflite has some crazy price on all there planes ,its still foam and at some point it will desintgrate and your left with some electronics ....anyways awsome video guys
I think linear servos are great for small 1s planes like the sport cub s and such, but when the planes are so powerful it locks out... I disagree with that choice. Thanks for mentioning street fixes, that might come in handy.
Basketball tire plane? Worth it!
Thanks guys! Keep up the great videos.
You can also use those 4s/300 batteries in all newer umx everything! Try em in the umx evolution, umx concendo! They are BOTH much more aggressively agile flying!đđđđđ
No risk of burning the esc/receiver in the long run ? Just received my umx the (and 11.4v hv 300mah)
So while replacing the servos, maybe use individual servos for the flaps, then switch couple them with the ailerons for 3D work. You could probably do some crazy STOL work if you had the ailerons droop with the flaps...
Congrats on 50k guys!
I had the pleasure of flying this little plane and MAAANNNN itâs a great plane thatâs the perfect size for a larger back yard
I was thinking of getting one until I saw the price đ°
I love mine! A little on the expensive side, but has lots of lights and good scale appearance. Iâm not a fan of the linear servos, but over the years have had pretty good luck with them. Had plenty of 9g servos go bad too.
F5 fader lube helps on the linear servos. That and limiting servo travel to 98%.
Yep! We mentioned another option in this video: lithium grease. Wish Horizon would give suggested fixes officially, though.
Great video boys đ«Ą
Dude I need a Micro Draco for sure!!!
The only case I'd see where you'd have a 300mah 4s is if you want a really sporty toothpick quadcopter
so sporty that you don't even use the usual 450 or 550mah pack
Tail Heavy Productions pls make a aeroscout review (4th video asking)
I had to fix one of these for a friend and i was pleasantly surprised by the foam and paint quality.
I've been replacing the pinion gear's on the umx linear servos with brass gear's and they are far more reliable! Most jams I've seen so far have been a cracked pinion. as for sourcing the pinion gears I've been getting them from dead coreless servos
I'm not into fabricating parts, so whenever someone comes out with Floats for this MicroDraco.... I'm gonna BUY one!
I'm working on it.
@@RARenfield SWEET!
I've got 4S 450mah, for my Blade fusion 180, they're nearly 300mah.
& DO fit & work in lil draco. (Did itđ)
I absolutely hate those crappy little servos, Iâd definitely replace them ASAPâŠ.. Thanks for the warning lol
do a review on the XK J3 cub, no liner servos to my knowledge, under $120 surprising scale detail. I only heard about one flaw in which it likes to fall out the sky if you bank a little to much.
Yeah u replaced my rudder and elevator servos as well mine failed before its first flight
4s 300? some quads
wait you don't bring a charger to the park
am I doing this wrong?
Fully agree on the linear servos. I have many of the UMXes and do love them with all of my heart, still, I also had the named lock on TT Evo and fixed this with limiting the max deflection. More annoying though is the jitter that quite some do have on neutral position. A brand new TT Evo had this even out of the box, and of course it wasnât an aileron! No, it was the integrated rudder servo on the controller board. Who integrates this sensible mechanical piece of h/w into the very expensive controller, with the critical resistive stripe directly sitting on the circuit board - that is what I call bad design. HH should offer an official fix for that and stop newer models from having such boards. I guess though, that too few people are suffering from that or do not complain, so, why should they change the design for something more expensive ?!
I have had linear servos fail twice . The umx p-51 voodoo . It was the rudder servo , I landed fine , just no rudder and had to replace it . The second one I had fail was the umx air tractor . It was the elevator servo . It was locked full down and thank god I was flying over a hay field and I hadnât cut it yet . It tumbled down about 50 foot like a brick and the grass was about 3 foot high and the only damage that was done was a dented spinner. I was lucky it hit just a few feet away from the yard . If it would have been a few feet over , i would have been picking up pieces . Itâs still sitting on the table waiting to have a servo replaced .
Sorry to hear it. :-(
2:31 Torque rolling a big stik
I hope you get the reference
I have a box of those crap linear servos and im always going thru them looking for a good gear set to replace in my current UMX line up. Wish they could do better on that end.
Biger beter smoler [draco]
Total noob question: Do most people NOT take chargers to the field? Does everyone charge all their batteries the night before? What if you don't fly? Do you spend the next evening putting a storage charge on?
I've been a rubber band guy forever, and these newfangled E-Lectronics have me vexed.
Good to know itâs scale
Why not I already gamble
$17.99 for a 300mA battery is a little wacko.
50K Subs! Congrats!
You got to lower the elevator travel to 97 âŠI have more of problem with the servos chattering all the time âŠjust had a brand new apprentice stol and aileron servo running and Iâm not even moving it ⊠I sent it back âŠwent thru two in two weeks ⊠HH is lacking in quality lately and I chose a different company to get a plane âŠcrazy how much they charge for a plane then itâs crap
personally i like gambling as i play war thunder
I can't justify getting one after having the umx timber X and umx p51 voodoo. Umx timber X seems way more responsive. Plus I don't need another battery architecture. At least the 3s 300 is shared between 5 different models
Bet money Horizon will release a 1.1m Draco called the âminiâ.
My Romanian Micro Draco AK47 pistol is also off the hook đđđđșđž
The mini Draco is pretty cool toođ
Best reviews as always!
Very nice plane, I'd love to have one. But 200 bucks buys you only the plane, no transmitter, no battery. Question: Would it bind to the XK X6 transmitter that came with my XK 110S helicopter? Or the SkyFly 6 ch, which I also have?
I love how you blithely hover like 60' from a ton of power lines.
A friend of mine got a new micro Draco from HobbyTown and tried to fly it yesterday. Got ready to try it and the elevator didnât work and almost burnt up from how hot it felt.
That sucks, sorry to hear it.
Cheap and thats why linear servos!
lol a 3.5 gram servo is less than $6 compared to horizons $21 crappy linear servos so that doesnât check out.
Cool
I HATE those micro servos. They make them better, and LIGHTER now. Not some little chip with a brushed motor and railshoot.
1) they are very sensitive
2) they always end up jittering now matter how well you take care of them
3) horizon makes them very difficult to replace on the reciever, on purpose of course.
â€â€â€
i end up nearly shatting myself no matter which bird i fly , so, no difference to me đ€Łmicrumx draco for the win !
Are you William Shatter?
So just got the ok for a new plane lol... guys my question is . Umx draco or umx evolution?? Much love from the land of oz!!
Draco
@TailHeavyProductions thanks for the recommendation boss đ đ
Picked it up on my lunch break đź what a beauty đ local hobby shop was out of 4s 300s and there seems to be none in Australia atm đ i have heaps of 450 3s so will see how they go đ thanks for the videos guysđ
I was on horizon website and the Draco is backorder and they couldn't tell how long it will be on B.O.âčïž
If only it were sold by anyone other than Horizon. Unfortunate
Wish they would come out with more umx or micro but use epo instead of egg carton eps smh
The u.mâŠâŠâŠâŠ. AUGHHHHH micro Draco
i didnt understand why they dont need a timer ?
Please review the carbon cub s2 đą
Yes! This video sure was worth the wait you guys did a fantastic job on it I would think judging by HH making this slightly bigger then a UMX with the 3s to 4s power option actual real servos with be a no brainer for them right? I really hope that if this new Micro class starts becoming a better seller for them that they would start to listen to people like yourself and many others to 86 those liner servos already.
Iâm different I sold my suv to carry my rc planes in my new smart car
Mine came with the rudder servo and one of my aileron servos completely frozen up.
Sorry to hear that.
@@TailHeavyProductions I had a umx Evo Timber that locked up an aileron mid flight and crashed. Total loss. They really need to stop making planes with those stupid linear servos
Good old quality control (lack of) from Horror-izon!
You should do the sport cub s2đ
Wtf is wing cube loading?
Check out our video titled, âThe Truth About Wing Cube Loadingâ for more info. đ
yeah linear servos are ass. They are awefully expensive too. Had an umx twin otter, terrible plane, and all of them stripped
"Kids cant fly planes" (gets 36/40 on the British model under 13 test )
I've had so many problems with hh, I'm done with them!
You are the best
It also makes the dog look huge!
Best umx im my opinion
1.Any umx timber
2.umx conscendo
3.umx draco
4.umx twin otter
5.umx air tractor
6.all umx jets
7.umx waco
8.umx p51
9.umx pitts
10.umx night vapor
11.umx radian
12.umx ultra slow stick
I can't stand the linear servos. I ripped mine out of my umx timber and threw in some 3.5 gam servos. Got rid of the crappy as3x and it's got all the throw with gobs of power. That's how it should have came from the factory
Anyone noticed that RC planes are rising in price much faster than inflation? Horizon is at the forefront of this.
I also wonder why people keep buying that Styrofoam garbage; that stuff stopped being innovative after the year 2000.
dump the servos
You can't control it without servos.
If anyone has anything bad to say about this video you are crazy. This best review video I have ever seen. I love your videos. It's like a review but how people actually fly planes
Highwing Hobby delivering another Highwing... who would have thought?
YOU HOVERED IT đ
Ah, another foamie that flies for 5 minutes
You guys don't bush fly. You guys fly in, around, and under the damn bushes. đ Savages, lol.
More like fly INTO bushes đ
It's real pretty BUT it's still just Packaging Material.
Overpriced.
I will never buy a Horizon product with linear servo's ever again. They are unreliable over-priced crap.
So⊠itâs a flying piece of crap⊠on 4s?! Fuk yea
Too pricey still!
I crashed beyond repair mine in 5minutes. I have 1year experience on umx turbo timber and bigfoot 1.2m and they both are still in great shape. I dont recommend this draco. too expensive too heavy and too many plastic peices for the average flier.
Not forst
Overpriced cheap junkâŠTypical Horizon Hobbyđ
