I have said it before and ill say it again- this channel is top notch. I guarantee that if you guys keep putting out content like this, you'll be one of the top RC plane channels on TH-cam. Great job!
Thanks, Jake!
You might want to wipe some of the brown stuff off your nose

@Furyman325 he saying he biased and basically sucking the yt channels di...
But I think he right this channel deserves more views/subs...
In my opinion
Talk about a suck up lol
No need to pump the tires. If you just put the needle in the valve the pressure will equalize with the outside air and you will see the flat spots pop out. Then remove the needle. This is the perfect amount of air. You may need to do this every time you get to the field, especially depending on the temperature.
Well not scale... but scale rc bushplanes on bush strips hit different!🔥(min: 4:13)
Just maidened mine yesterday. Removed reflex gyro and used an AR631 with AS3X and SAFE instead which left me channel 5 for the reverse thrust lead. LOVE this plane. Thanks for the video!
Absolutely Love it and the prop change, Great Job!!!
I remember when there were just 1000 nerds here being entertained by your time on the sticks. Now there’s 10,000 of us! Congrats on the accomplishment! Keep it up lads!
Great video which explains all the advantage of this plane. Have one too since a few months and just love it.
have it for 2 month and for a first plane , it is perfect and super resistant for crash. Thanks you for the video! (sry for my english)
Best RC Plane review yet! Great content, keep it coming!
Great video! Please keep them coming. You guys seem to be the only real flyer's out there. I would love to see a review on the new multiplex. Clearly multiplex's epp foam is one of the reasons you still fly your old fun cub. Thank you for great content!!
I really love the gear and inflatable tires on this bird! I really wish my Turbo Timber Evo would have inflatable tires as I don't like how the foam ones get dirty easily and tear up.
You guys are full of it up to your ears !
I love it ! I gotta have one .
HAPPY 10K LETS GOOO!!
Awesome stuff! I just bought this plane because of your review.
My first flight with my fms super cub the ailerons were reversed. (I know it's my fault I was excited and complacent) it survived with minimal repairs. It now has several flights and its a smooth flyer and the best bang for the buck at this size for a bush plane IMO
nice i am planning to get this model for Christmas as a first plane but thanks you have sold me on it
Love this channel! Awesome job!
Stellar review. All encompassing, hit all aspects, and the water bottle being thrown at it is hilarious.
Thank you!
Keep up the great work guys, you keep "it Scale"
this channel is amazingly good. just getting into the hobby myself, and im about to checkride for me PPL so i can continue on to commerical
I love your style of review! Please keep it up! :)
Awesome video guys. That looks like a good addition to the hanger.
this was such a great video thanks a lot!! ill for sure be picking this plane up.
Another fun video to watch. Great job.
Thanks, Dave!
I’m a bit jealous, you guys are providing the kind of rc airplane reviews I’ve always wanted. Y’all are akin to some of my favorite car reviewers, completely interested in what the aircraft can do throughout its envelope and exploring how it provides fun. Its fantastic!
If y’all have the room, one craft that I’d love a review on is that Eflite V1200 or 900. As a flyer (and builder) I feel like a plane like that is my goal (tho my skill set is a bit shy of it for now). Having an indef pilots perspective like y’alls on the plane would be great for learning! Thanks for the videos
Thank you! Means a lot. We’ve owned the V900 at one point back when we lived in Seattle and loved it. Maybe we’ll pick up another one day, but the Flex Piraña filled the go fast void for us and can do much more than the V900. Stay tuned for a review on it. 😁
@@TailHeavyProductions just saw the Pirana in the store today 👀 $250 for what’s definitely a 100+ out of the box is tasty
I personally bought the arrows pioneer rtf which is a very good beginner plane on a tight budget and ive moved up since then although it doesnt perform the best in the wind
Haha! Great video! Almost 10k subs! :DD Im so excited!!
Awesome video. You guys sold me. Thank you
Great flying guys!
A review of the bigger brother of this plane would be interesting to see as well. At least they say it feels a bit lighter.
Happy new year, keep it up!
Thanks! We actually didn't find the bigger one to feel lighter wing loading wise and prefer the smaller one. This one has better tires, a better power to weight, and the smaller size fits our bill for flying in and out of tighter bush flying locations. 👍
This is the type of review I’m looking for. All the other rc pilots fly the trainers perfectly , I want to see what happens when I crash !! Maybe do a tip stall crash too
Would love to see what you guys could do with the OMP Bighorn.
great review, i think ill go with this as my first, might swap reflex for safe. thanks!
First time here. This channel is amazing! The commentary is tops!!!
Thank you!
any plane can fit in a 1 series even the draco, but you need to pu the back seats down and use the trunk space, ive gotten 3 1200+ planes in there 2 fullly asseblef and one with the wing off
Thank you!! Love the vid and review!! Keep it up!
Get flex to send y’all the big rv-8! I been wanting a review on it from y’all!!
This video just made me buy one
Y’all should review the carbon cub , I’m 10 years old and I can fly it with no problem . And I want to try to get into the hobby, keep up the good work
You convinced me to give foam planes another shot. I have nothing against foam. It's just the previous planes I was getting from everybody's favorite place stopped caring about quality., so I went to balsa. This looks like a solid fun plane
Awesome! Happy to hear it. 😁
Loved your video, just wanted to tell you. It's funny, informative, impressive and very nicely filmed.
Idk what's wrong with the guys complaining about the commentary. Sure, you do speak rather fast, but it's still OK for a non English native speaker to understand everything so...
Keep up the great work guys 😉👍
Edit: oh and btw for yet another way of abusing this bird you might wanna try flying it inverted at full speed through a vineyard cable. Litteraly got my twinstar 2 cut in half doing just that...
Yes
Nice! Looks great 👍
Mine is scheduled for delivery today. I have the 1700mm version and love it. As soon as I saw this 1300mm was available, I was all over it. This thing will handle the abuse for sure. I’m leaning toward NOT wiring via the gyro though. Don’t need it and avoids potential glitches especially considering this will see cold weather. FMS says floats will be released for this soon. Something tells me my FMS Kingfisher floats will fit this. We will see. Thanks for the great review. Appreciate a review that goes beyond just 5 minutes of touch and goes.
I'm eyeing out these two Supercubs as first dip into "proper" RC planes and are there practical differences between the two, besides price and size?
@@PanocekI personally have the 1700mm one and I love it. I think the 1700mm is better than the 1300mm because it's bigger and more stable, while also keeping a better than average maneuvrability for bush plane this big. You can also detach the wings, gears and stabilizers for better storage but not the fuselage, but that's not a big issue. Finally, because of the increased size and weight it can fly pretty well in medium/heavy wind and landing is easier because of the better stability.
In short, I would say it's better for learning.
Like the gear and the top loading battery. Wish the PNP was in stock
It should be soon!
I have one and they are rugged, but I for sure wouldn't say indestructible, it an overstatement 😁
I love the shots u and 2 brothers are tossing at that one channel that lawndarrted it up off rip
Great video! Thanks! Can’t find this plane anywhere? All out of stock?
I'm here because I'm that bad of a pilot I could probably fly into a fence. I'm still very new, but I love it! The fence won me.over. I'm a subscriber now haha
Welcome, Chris! 😁
Great video, cool plane to! I want one!
Indestructible you say? The RCsaylors would like to object! 🤣
Jokes aside though, great video as always!
Lol laughing so much during your review. Awesome job guys!
I think your doing a great job of showing what it is capable of and weather it’s straight out of the box or even if you have tweaked it to your liking, I can’t believe people have complained about what you have done I have not gone through all your vids but how does it stack side by side with the e flight version.
Thank you! We stepped on some toes apparently, but we’re learning! 😁
Got this as my 2nd plane after only a couple of weeks abusing my UMX TimberX. I'm used to making bad decisions. This plane is not one of them. I love every nano second of flying it. And even though I'm the only TH-camr to actually damage the nose, not named Nate- I repaired the tiny crack in the cowl easily because i know how to not crash at full throttle- I've only had to purchase a new prop. And still fly the OG prop after sticking it together with friggin super glue! This plane is just amazing!! Thanks for the video. It definitely helped me pull the trigger on it. Worth every bit of stink eye I got from the wife when it arrived. 👍
Can't wait to get some floats and make her all wet. The Cub. Not the wife. Obvy.
Hi. Apologies for this question: is the APC prop 12x6E or 12x6SF...? I am adopting your suggestions. Thanks so much.
Do you know if you can set up and use reverse thrust on the rtf version with the transmitter it comes with?
That's a big, and beautiful plane!!😍✈️ I've always liked the rc Piper J-3, and Super Cubs, and had a few!! They are some of the most docile and easy planes to fly! I would love to have this one!! I especially love the rc planes with scale details!!
Ignore the random haters comment guys. Keep your videos original. Great vid as usual. 👍
That hands down was the best fucking review I have ever watched 👀! Literally I subbed immediately after liking
Thank you! Welcome to the channel, and happy landings! 🙂
Hi there. This bushfly videos are realy good boys. Time for me start to practise this. Cant wait for a crash 🤣🤣
Cool video just subscribed :) I was thinking of getting the fms Ranger with floats but a bush plane is awesome too!
Lucky when I started an Asi know anything about it I don’t know video because I bought a jet and I crashed it and then I lost it in the sky because I went too high and lost range😢
Great video. Very informative. First time I’ve watched one of your videos.
Sorry, I might have missed it in the video, but what are the brand and numbers for the prop substitution you made?
Thank you! Any brand will do, just go with a 12x6.
Thanks for the awesome content, I'm looking to get a stol plane, would you recommend this one over the timber evo? Thanks, Carlos
Thx! Absolutely. 👍
The only rd channel I’m subbed to, I love all your videos
Very entertaining video 🎉
Subscribed and a great video. Thanx
Since discovering this channel I’ve become addicted, and also bought one of these, well, the 1700 anyway 😂
That's awesome! Welcome to the channel - appreciate the support!
Thanks for this. Good timing because I've just bought one. Can you discuss the rates and throws you use for this (or maybe any bush plane) kind of flying, especially in relation to the manual? The manual offers only two throw settings. I'm picking you use tad more than it's suggestions...? Such a discussion would shed useful light on an area that is too seldom covered. Cheers, Scott.
Max mechanical and then max digitally until the servo binds is our usual go-to method. No measuring degrees of travel, just what we can get out of it from a geometry and digital standpoint. 👍
i never flew or customized a rc plane so how do you configure it to the rodor be better and reverse and etc?
Nice Vid ;) , I just ordered the 1700 version, although I assume neither are indestructable..lol..
Hey THP, is the prop you used the APC Thin Electric 12×6??
Kinda late question on a 7 month video, but I noticed there is a 1700mm version and was wondering if that is equally good for beginners or not
Was that a standard apc 12x6 or the 12x6e that you used. Thanks!
Couldn't find any information about setting up reverse thrust, do you have a link to that information?
Wanted to get into rc planes last year and have got the urge again. this seems perfect but i cant find it anywhere in europe (FMS and hobbyzone dont ship to my country)
So, when I first saw this... yea, I was thinking it was a TAD larger. Nice photo, though! And only a 1/2 hour to assemble? Better then most home-builts I look at!
EDIT: But seriously, though... I'd love to see a full size aircraft that could hover like that.
I can tell from now that i am not a beginner, i flew the old Beta-1400, the thing is it didnt fly 7 years, it never flew, so when ee bought new controler reciever and battery, threw it, it started to stall out on the side into the flat spin. Luckily i know how to get from flat spin but it was the most scary thing u ever seen, then we found out why it stalls out, the wings didnt have the metal tube between them so the wings started to wiggle... When we put something in it it was a lot better and somehow i managed to fly it for one hour, its still tailheavy but its nothing some nuts wouldnt fix
What prop would you recommend for 4s if I stuck my spektrum 60a esc in it? :)
Bravo.perfect
Yea, This model is heavy for a Cub of this size for sure!!
REVIEW A MICRO PLANE!! I wanna see you guys hover the umx timber x or something. That plane is seriously squirley. OR the durafly micro tundra, umx regular timbers. They fly so closely similar to the big bois, but you can fly them in way sketchier spots and not kill anyone.
I mean we’ve flown the full size Timber into sketchy spots and not killed anyone… 😁 We owned the OG UMX Timber and loved it. It hovered (albeit barely) with a fresh pack and was super fun to do rolling circles with. Maybe one day, but micros really aren’t on our shopping list as we aren’t limited on flying space wherever we fly.
Awesome!
could you please review the UMX Turbo Timber and maybe some other UMX planes?
Hey I’m think to buy it but I want to know does it come with a radio transmitter ?
Because those who would wondered will it slope without wheels and can a folding prop be added ?
Have you done a video on the 1700mm version?
Great review again guys. What do ya’ll think of the 1700 mm one for more advanced bush flying? BTW my flying style is fairly similar to ya’ll’s.
Thanks! The 1700mm is great and takes just as much abuse, but forget about trying to even remotely come close to a hover with it if you want that option.
i just bought one been watching lots vids its got a 3536 850kv motor 40amp esc 11x7 prop , if i run it on 4s can i drop the prop to a 11x5 or 10x6 my 3 s packs only last like 5 mins and its a pita taking 10 of em to the park i got some real nice 4s packs would last longer if i wont burn anything ?
What's the "in air time" with either 3s.or 4s batt?
Can you test the wilga 2000 from t2m please
Good morning so I'm new to the RC world it's been like 30 years things have changed what would you recommend as far as receiver and transmitter. I found this playing on Amazon but it's like 350 the link you provided is sold out. Trying to get this under 500 don't think so though what's your thoughts
Man $199 is one hell of a good price for that much plane. I gotta get one now
Hi guys great content! Now, I am seriously looking at getting this plane after such a great video.
I am now not too sure after seeing the RCSaylors video where he ends up breaking the front of the plane. I was hoping it could take a bit more indestructibility, but I am not sure now.
What do y’all think about how his video played out and how it broke do bad? Just curious to know what y’all think.
You’ll love it! No plane we’re aware of can survive harder impacts especially nose in so I wouldn’t discredit the plane over it. Accidents happen. That’s what glue is for. 😁
The landing gear looks great. Why does the Turbo Timber Evo springs break so easy? These look like the same type. Great video!
Thanks! The springs are the only thing that takes the load on the Timber, whereas this bird’s gear design allows the gear structure to take the load combined with the springs. These springs also don’t have the limiting clips that break easily on the Evo springs.
Should try the Eflite draco cause I’m a bit curious on what you think of it
We do get asked about reviewing the Draco a lot. Here’s the reply we usually give when asked.
Unfortunately, we don't plan to purchase or review a Draco having flown a few ourselves already. It's way too heavy for what it's trying replicate due to the weight of all the added plastic scale features amongst other things. It definitely is a nice fun replica of Draco to fly around as a scale plane though! Love the reverse thrust of course, too. 😁
Interesting Channel . Hi from New Zealand
Welcome!
Hey, great video! I want to start flying RC (did RC cars before); do you recommend buying the RTF version and just go out and fly? Or are some preliminary steps required? Cheers!
Thanks! We haven't tried the RTF set up but you shouldn't have any issues. We'd suggest doing some studying watching basic rc flying 101 videos online (flite test is a good resource) before going into it. Either that or find a local RC field and get help there, too. Good luck!
@@TailHeavyProductions Thanks for the tip!
Before seeing your video, I planned to do the "Horizon Beginner Progression Special"; that is Real Flight Simulator, then a trainer like the Carbon Cub and after that achieving the Horizon skill levels, lol.
Is a gyro mandatory for beginning or would you advise against it?
Awesome! That plane looks like it works great!!! Tho it is a bummer that you cannot buy them without the Reflex anymore... And that the 1300mm is not available in Europe just yet...
Easy enough to take it out and the price point of the planes doesn’t seem to have been affected by them being added. 👍
Now time to over power it 🙂✈️
Pls do a glider tow with this and the beaver
you are the reason that my parents said yes to the plane as my birthday gift
btw its my birth day am 15!!!
Happy Birthday!
Thanks for the reply
