- Getting the new UMX Turbo Timber Evolution out of the box and comparing it to the original.
Introduction
The E-flite® UMX™ Turbo Timber Evolution is a scaled-down ultra-micro version of the extremely popular Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m! It's also an updated and upgraded version of the best-selling UMX Turbo Timber that features a reinforced airframe and stronger linkages to handle the added power, performance, and capability the new 2S and 3S compatible power system delivers. It's equipped with LED landing, navigation, and strobe lights, delivers real-time battery voltage and other telemetry to compatible transmitters, plus it can be equipped with the optional UMX floats (sold separately). And because of its ultra-micro size, the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution can be flown outdoors in many yards, parks, and sports fields - or even indoors in gymnasiums and other suitable spaces! It's affordable, convenient, capable - and easy to fly - which makes it a great choice for a wide range of pilots interested in a flying experience they can't get with any other model.

Functional oversized flaps for shorter takeoffs and landings
Fully factory-assembled and ready to fly right out the box
Overview
For low-time to experienced pilots interested in an ultra-micro sized version of the incredibly popular Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, the E-flite® UMX™ Turbo Timber Evolution is an easy-to-fly, smooth handling, STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) capable airplane with unmatched fly-anywhere versatility! It's also an updated and upgraded version of the UMX Turbo Timber that now features a 2S and 3S compatible power system for added power and capability - especially when using popular and affordable 3S 300mAh batteries for unlimited vertical performance! Plus it can perform inverted flight, knife edge, snaps, spins and other advanced aerobatic maneuvers with ease. Functional oversized flaps, along with the optional-use leading-edge slats, offer improved STOL and slow flight performance. Equipped with oversized tundra-style tires like its predecessor, the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution can take off and land on grass and other rough surfaces due to the landing gear design that secures the fairings to the fuselage. Experienced pilots can fly it indoors in spaces as small as a single basketball court, and almost anyone who's mastered flying at least one other airplane before can fly it successfully outdoors in large yards, small parks, sports fields, at RC flying fields and almost anywhere else! Install the optional floats (sold separately) and you can add large pools, small ponds, and lakes to your flying site options. Included LED landing, navigation and simulated strobe lights add to the fun and make it possible to fly from earlier to even later in the day. Best of all, the reinforced airframe with stronger ball-link equipped linkages arrives 100% factory-assembled - and is ready to fly as soon as you charge up a battery and bind the installed Spektrum™ receiver to your compatible transmitter!

Great little plane. Most days I get in both a morning and an evening flight. I'll rotate flying with both 2s and 3s batteries.
I really need to try for some early morning flying. It is usually dead calm, but other priorities always seem to take over and I don't get out to fly in the morning.
Very nice
Thanks!
Another great video, Bryan!! Looks like the new plane will be fun to fly!!
Thanks Steve. This one is quickly becoming one of my favorites. It is the smoothest flying UMX plane I have ever flown.
Does horizon wind tunnel test their planes? This one just flys so good
no as wind tunnel testing isn't done very much anymore. Most of the aerodynamic testing is done through CFD in CAD. The computer can simulate the effect of the air moving around the aircraft. So much of the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution is carried over from the original design, but somehow the Evolution is just so much smoother! I think the updated servos, electronics, and ball links on the control surfaces all work together to make what I think is the smoothest flying UMX ever made. Although, people tell me the UMX Air Tractor is even better. I haven't flown it yet, but interested knowing how good the Timber is.
@@BRGT350 usually to really tune slats i would think they did a smoke test but I guess it’s such slow non compressible speeds that the cfd is closer to truth. Yeah tighter control linkages deff make it smoother. They could have increased the sample rate of the flight controller too so it’s doing more corrections per second.
Yeah, I wouldn't doubt there was some tuning to the AS3X as well, or possibly the updated linkages just make AS3X better since there is less slop in the linkages so the inputs from the flight controller are better translated to each control surface. The slow speeds the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution flies at wouldn't need any wind tunnel testing and not even sure if much CFD was done, other than perhaps seeing how the cooling air flows through the fuselage. Much of the design is scaled down from the bigger Timber, which is already an awesome flying aircraft. I was out flying my UMX Turbo Timber Evolution the other night and once again just amazed at how good it is. I had my older 2S UMX P-51 out as well and I could hear the motor and servos the entire flight. The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution on the other hand is whisper quiet as it cruised around the evening sky. I have flown around 12 UMX planes over the years and none of them have been as impressive as the the Turbo Timber Evolution. I have heard the UMX Air Tractor is as good, which is telling me I may need to update my UMX fleet with some of the newer models if they are flying as good as the new Timber does.
@@BRGT350 I have the UMX tte and UMX air tractor and they both fly super smooth. I can definitely tell the difference between horizons flight software and others. I’m pretty new to this, I will probably get the full size TTE at the end of the year. I love how quiet everything is too, it doesn’t bother anyone.
The 1.5m Turbo Timber Evolution is a wonderful aircraft. I fly mine a lot! I go between floats and landing gear depending upon the season.
What preset should I use as it’s not listed?
Thanks.
Not sure what you mean by preset. The transmitter setup?
@@BRGT350 yes the pre-loaded list of models
I haven't ever used the downloadable setups for my planes. I either start a new one from scratch or copy an existing. For the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution, I just copied my original Timber program. I wanted to keep the setup the same to start with so I could compare how the two fly.
I'm new to this hobby. I'm just amazed at how weak and fragile these things are. I got the UMX TTE and it feels like it could fall apart with just a light breeze hitting it without even flying. The Fuselage is held together with some small pieces of scotch tape and a wish, Lame.
if you are new to the hobby, the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution shouldn't be your starting point. It isn't a trainer. RC planes, much like their full scale counterparts, are designed to be as lightweight as possible in order to fly. This means selecting materials and fastening methods that provide the required strength with the least amount of weight. It sounds like you are not well versed in aviation nor with UMX planes. The UMX Timber is designed for intermediate pilots that can handle flying the plane without resulting in a high number of crashes. Totaling up my UMX flights, I have well over one thousand flights on these types of aircraft and have not had a single failure or damage. They are very well built and engineered. As for the tape, that is actually a fantastic method to hold sections of the fuselage together. The tape adhered to the sides of the fuselage are in tension, in which the tape is strong. Internal ribbing and cross section provide good torsional and compression strength. If the fuselage needs to be take apart for repairs, slitting the tape gains access easily vs glue. To reassemble, just use tape. I can also tell you don't have a lot of experience around full scale aircraft as if you did, you would be shocked at how fragile they are. Good structural engineering makes them just as strong as they need to be in order to achieve their primary function, just like an RC plane. In fact, RC planes are far more robust than they need to be. The additional robustness comes to aid in case of a mishap so the plane can be flown again instead of writing it off. Good luck doing that on a 737.
