TTE pilot with around 100 flights here. Some helpful mods: -Move the ESC forward and removing the plastic exhaust tubes will help with cooling greatly -require soldering, but split the ailerons into their own channels for Crow… this airplane lands amazing with Crow -Switch out the prop for 13x4. Much less current draw and heat but with nice thrust FYI this airplane can also take a beating in the sky. I’ve pulled 9 G’s on maneuvers frequently with no issues. Great airplane!
@@LifenSantaBarbara you need to reset the receiver and move the ailerons so they each have their own separate channel. Then you have to cut/split the harness and add a DuPont connector bc they are currently set up to same channel. The rest is done in the Tx. Basically do the opposite of “flapperons”
I tried hitting thrust reverse mid-flight with my RV-7 recently. I must not have had the prop nut on tight enough because it torqued right off along with the spinner. Never found either and Horizon Hobby doesn't sell that prop nut by itself. Only with the motor. So, to anyone reading this, learn from my mistake: Make sure your prop is on there securely if you want to play with thrust reverse in the air!
Take the prop shaft to any hardware/automotive shop. The prop nuts are regular nuts & can be gotten almost anywhere 🤷. Most are 5/16". I got tired of THAT crap happening, so i did the research
DEFENTLY gonna get this Bird. My OG timber is getting War Torn and time for a New Timber. Brian I have a Balsa P-51 2.0m size Id like to send you. Its a project and Id like to see it go to a good home Ya want it? Ill send it
What more needs finished on it. I use to build and fly DUCTED FAN jets from fiberglass with foam cut wings. I had to fiberglass the wings then fill it all with gap sealer. Sand then paint. Just beautiful finishes!!! So I can take your P-51and finish it for you then forward it to whomever. I'm on disability with nothing to do. Lemme know. I'll just do it to do it also. No charge.
Thank you for all you do. Even when you are not feeling 100%. You and Megan do way more than review planes to help (ALL) pilots. Your channel is more of an RC Aviation Course. Thank you both.
Best gift of the year for me. My son has the Night Timber X and wanted the float set for it. The hobby shop didn't have the float set is stock, so he bought the TT Evo so he could have the floats and gave me the plane!! 😲 Aren't kids amazing!! Another great video by the best team on the TH-cams!! Keep up the amazing work (and fun) you both do!!
Thank you Brian and Megan. Your sincerity for the hobby is huge. I have my EVO a year now. 4 fuselages and 2 wing sets later I love it. Learned a lot from you. Now if I could fly as good as you my venture into my new T-28 V2 would be less nerve racking 😳. Thanks again and GB.
Brian, I live in FL I've been flying a sport cub S2. ANY wind and its ALL OVER the place. Am I just trying to advance into a bigger more powerful plane too quickly? I don't really have any problems flying the sport cub it just seems to get tossed around a lot. I don't know anyone in the hobby. Does that get better with a little bit larger plane?
Yes, they get a lot better dealing with wind as they get bigger, but wind will always be a factor, even when you're into way more advanced planes. As for another choice that might get you flying in more circumstances, the Turbo Timber Evo would be a good choice, but it's a BIG leap from the Sport Cub S UMX, just so you don't feel like I mislead you in some way. Also, the UMX Turbo Timber and Timber X are GREAT choices too...but you need a REAL transmitter, if you want to really take advantage of these BNF planes... Tx bit.ly/3J05xSj - NX8 or more, if you really want to save a few bucks on very temporal middle steps Timber bit.ly/3OjD6jf - I prefer the Turbo Timber Evo 1.5m OR either of the UMX planes given your circumstances, and keep in mind, we have done all of them...so there's footage out NOW that you can look over.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for the awesome and thorough reply!!! I have a DX6E Radio but I would like at least an 8 CH. I deffinitely want a plan with flaps and would really like to have reverse thrust as well. I flew the sport cub yesterday in about 10 MPH gust and the poor thing was just getting tossed around. I was able to force it around but at WOT it was barely able to fly forward through the wind. Greatly appreciate your suggestions. I'll be doing a deeper dive on them as they were already on my radar.
I've used crow and have demonstrated how to do it, but I won't be changing this plane. It flies amazing on it's stock BNF setup. To add crow you'd basically have to tear out the Rx, and install a bigger one, since all the channels are used up as it is ;( If you want to do it, we added crow on the FMS Ranger 1220mm as well as the FMS Cessna 182, among others.
Guys, this is the Builtin I mentioned about moving the ESC... Product: E-flite® Turbo Timber Evolution BNF Basic and PNP (EFL105250, EFL105275) Issue: When flying on hot days (85+˚F/29+˚C), especially when flying aggressively with 4-cell batteries, the ESC can enter Thermal Protection mode (which reduces the maximum power to 60%). What To Do: Before running the motor, move the ESC from its original location under the battery tray to the front of the compartment. This change allows for better cooling, and prevents the ESC from entering Thermal Protection mode under the same conditions. To change the placement of the ESC for improved cooling, follow these steps: 1.Carefully slide the ESC to the front of the compartment below the battery tray. 2.Carefully pull the battery power leads and IC3® connector out from under the tray. Ensure the leads are not under strain or pressure. 3.Check to make sure the motor power leads are not touching the rotating part of the motor. Ensure the leads are not under strain or pressure. TIP: Use a zip tie, hook and look strap, etc. to carefully bundle the wire leads and secure them away from the motor. We apologize for this inconvenience. Horizon disclaims all liability and warranties for any consumer failing to act upon this product bulletin.
This was great . Thanks for the radio tips on how to set up reverse thrust . You do a good job explaining this stuff . I've just started flying my TT EVO and it really is an awesome plane . I felt really confident with it from the first flight so i'd like to practise using reverse thrust on this before trying it on some of the other planes I have that could really use it . That's me , I;m just getting back into flying after a very long break . I was into mostly helicopters and the collective pitch models had a steep learning curve back then . The new Spektrum stuff with AS3X and Safe is by far the best , and it's so much easier to set up than it used to be . I've figured out most of what i need to do fairly intuitively ., but I really appreciate the forward programming and downloadable radio and receiver models .
Totally agree - the Spektrum stuff just seems to work really good, even though it can take a bit to figure out at first, then you get a really nice product at the end. The Reflex stabilizer from FMS and the Vortex from Arrows have been nice additions, but they're still not as refined as the AS3X from Spektrum, in my experience.
3S and 4S - I suggest 3200 MAX, but 2200mAh 4S would be my go to for this plane... 2200 4S bit.ly/3RQTafm 2700 4S bit.ly/3B558fl 3200 4S bit.ly/3ojE4S2 4000 4S bit.ly/3PKwLhV
Slats increase drag, reduce stall speed, and allow for higher AOA without stalling. AKA they make the plane more STOL capable. They're basically like Flaps, almost exactly in their function, only they're on the front of the wing. They are also FIXED, in this application, rather than controlled, or gravity operated. I like them, but I really like slow flight.
Technically yes, but it'll be a lot of work, and I definitely don't think it's worth it - SOME DO. Crow is not "hard" to add, but it's all about if you have to plop in a more expensive Rx to accomplish all the needs. We're gonna be adding it on our 2M SWS (the balsa wood one) soon, but that one has the equipment to do it built in, only just setup and a little re-wiring, whereas this 1.5m offering would need to bump up (If I'm remembering what Rx it has correctly & Assuming you don't want to give anything else up)
Hey Brian this is Lee from Newport NC l was about to buy a used turbo timber Elvo someone have for sale but had second thoughts of buying it so I took my Spectrum DX6e transmitter with me to check it out so I bind the plane everything works out good control works LED Lights l did the AS3X test move the plane up and down side to side none of them works Ali ELE RUDDER so l check out the receiver it comes with a Spectrum AR637TA instead it was switched out with a used AR637T so I didn't buy it so l will Just buy a new one so what are your options about this used airplane
I really wish I would have got that plane instead of the original. I hate that bottom battery box. Yea, um I'm trying to never crash to it being totaled. I'm too much of a tight wad. Did have to replace landing gear once though. Maybe my wife will get it for me from ya this Christmas.
Brian, why does this only fly for 7 minutes when I saw you fly the Carbon Cub 2m for 20 minutes? I'm getting ready to buy one through your link to use as a float plane on our club's RC Sailboat pond
Been busy and got behind on your video's.. But I'm back!! Haha Man, this is another that I've slept on.. I have the timber x and love it. This tho.. Looks much more tame. As in flight characteristics. Love the scheme of it as well. Great video!
I don't know if they will, since the Twin Timber is considerably bigger...but would love to see the best landing gear we can get on all of these planes. Soft tires are much appreciated, and we're ready to adopt them for all planes now and going forward!!!
I want that plane. Love my umx turbo timber and I learned to fly on it. Need to fly the planes I have more first. I joined a flying field but have only been a few times all summer. Wish I could fly from my driveway like you Id be flying everyday. At least im in georgia where we pretty much dont have winter. Lol
Very Informative Brian. I Am Just Getting Back Into Flying My Old 70mm a-10 After About 4 Years Of Not Flying It. And Yes I Watch All Of Your Vids From Start To Finish. You Put The Comic Back Into The Comedy As Well Thank You.
A new member at our club has this plane and I've landed it for him a few times. Very stable and easy to fly. Sorry that your voice is a pony. Pony ... little horse ... little hoarse! That was terrible but I still wrote it!
I just purchased a Timber Evo and my first flight was today. The entire front ripped off the plane on takeoff and the prop damaged the body of the plane. It looks like 4 metal bars connect somehow from the factory. They do not line up well and I am not sure what happend. I assume this was a factory defect but have you ever heard of this happening?
I've never heard of it happening on maiden, but I have personally had it happen to me on my red and white (original 1.5m) Timber (NOT Turbo or Turbo EVO)...and it was crazy...the whole battery and esc pulled out - it was hilarious, but also super annoying, since I was trying to sell the plane, and was showing a demo of how nice it still was!!! I ended up giving it to the guy for free, and he had it fixed in like 10 minutes, BUT I would be pissed if that happened ON MAIDEN! I'd 100% hit up HH about this and get them to make it right in some way. Good luck and sorry for the annoying problem!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks. HH told me to go to local hobby shop. Pretty wild to see that happen. Oh well. Your videos are amazing!!!!! I check everyday.
One more question. I read that a bunch of people have flown this plane with the 13x4 prop from the TImber x/Night Timber. They claim less esc loading and better performance. Of course the look is different and the prop clearance will be less. Is this a good idea to try in your opinion. I am interested to hear your thoughts. Thank you.
That sticks to bottom left to do holding pattern I can see a bunch of ppl who don't read all the instructions will be crashing these or if you make a mistake in entering hold pattern mode will cause a lot of destroyed timbers they should have a button to do left hold and double click for right hold I think the only reason they did it on the sticks is so that if you crash it they'll make more money off of parts or new planes as well that's just my opinion but yes these are very nice fine I own one and love it I put it in holding pattern so I can get used to what fpv looks like before I actually start flying with fpv on it cuz it's way different
Just got mine a couple weeks ago and just flew it again this morning! Basically my first RC plane "as an adult" (though I've flown full size C172s and destroyed a couple RC planes as an "in over my head" kid in the 90s. Love it so far - had no problem taking off and landing with no real practice to speak of.
I have set both the throttle cut and the reverse on the same 3 positions button. 0 position is forward, 1 position is throttle cut, 2 position is reverse. I added 1s delay on the throttle cut to make the swich less brutal. This is very intuitive and works like a charm.
Love your videos, I've probably watch over half of them and several a dozen times... you have been a Godsend in my learning process, but like you mentioned I have a great relationship with my local hobby shop and like to pick up things the day I need or want them. With that said, I would like to support your channel, I can't tell you how valuable it has been...what is your PayPal address? Thanks for making this hobby so much fun! Keith South Jordan UT
We're honored that you'd like to support us, and very glad you're here with us. Any time we hear feedback that we're actually helping people get over the hurdles of RC flight, we're very pleased. Thanks again
I have a Timber Turbo evo, 1.5 I have overheated three motors and two esc’s How can I fix this problem, love to fly this Timber but motors are expensive, HH hasn’t helped
They have a technical builtin out that states to move the ESC out of the original spot, back into the opening. This should help. If it doesn't, are you going crazy on 100% throttle all the time?
Follow this link, bit.ly/3z3ycSP - then click on the "Important Bulletin" (sorry, it wouldn't let me copy the link to the builtin) There's pictures too if you look at the document... Product: E-flite® Turbo Timber Evolution BNF Basic and PNP (EFL105250, EFL105275) Issue: When flying on hot days (85+˚F/29+˚C), especially when flying aggressively with 4-cell batteries, the ESC can enter Thermal Protection mode (which reduces the maximum power to 60%).

After reading many others comments about the motor getting very hot, they all recommend cutting the cowling open around the spinner, and cutting the vent under the spinner 1/4 “ larger, and then only running 3c 2200 batteries, this plane has serious overheating problems, I love this plane if I can only overcome these problems
I share this all the time, so try watching this explanation on any of many Unbox, Build, Radio Setup videos. This short description won't do it justice... AS3X - Artificial Stabilization Three Axis - This is used to help the plane keep going the direction it's going. It will help mitigate the effects of wind, thermals, down-drafts, etc...and help you feel more in control, as an RC pilot. SAFE - Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope - This uses AS3X, and adds another layer to keep the plane level, when you let go of the sticks. I like to tall this feature "Auto-leveling" to the laymen, but it's got some more features too, like limiting your bank and pitch angles, to help keep you out of trouble. You can, of course, tune many of these values to make the plane respond the way you want it to respond, but most of the time, if you need / want SAFE, you're going to be on the beginner side of things, and won't have the wherewithal to make such adjustments. This is where we come in - watch our Unbox Build Radio Setup videos, and we'll help you figure this stuff out. It takes time and some effort, but a well tuned plane will be the envy of most RC clubs...and you'll enjoy a much higher survivability and enjoyment.
I love my Evo TT. But I opted to remove the leading edge slats, as I thought it has plenty of lift even without. I also removed the internal spring retainers in the landing gear springs...this stops the end coils from bending.
Brian. This is no doubt the best of the Timber line up. Yes. I have and had them all. Glad Horizon updated it. I have the V1 of this permanent setup for float flying. It’s still great too when you get past the bottom feed for the lipo. I highly recommend the Turbo Timber Evo. 👍👍😊
Got this plane just over 2 weeks ago love it. Unfortunately I flew into a tree 3 days ago now waiting on a new fusalodge as it squashed the engine mount.
One year anniversary of the TTEvo, so perfect timing. I bought mine because of your original video in May 2021 and received it July 21, 2021, my first pre-order experience :) Its an awesome plane, and mine is still in mint condition because its so easy to fly.
Brian, I was hoping you could give your input on a controversial issue. Do you prefer the TTE with or without flaps? Do you notice better slow flight performance? Some say that the scale of the plane prevents the slats from increasing the potential AoA.
Yes, I meant slats. I just did an interesting experiment. I covered the front of one slat with painters tape to impede airflow through it, then I took it out to fly. At low speeds and high AoA, the plane consistently stalled hard to that side. I did this to see if slats on scale models actually function the way they do on full sized planes, these results suggest they do. If I had more courage, I’d take the slat off one side and try the same tests; however, the asymmetrical drag concerns me.
Thanks for the review Brian, watched your review and build, so inspired bought via the link, she is such a beauty, love the deep grunt of the motor, got 3s 4000 and 4s 2200 .. Im ex heli 3d.. but i love this ...she booms !
Thanks for revisiting this fun plane. May I ask you for your % throw and % elevator compensation for flaps, you really seem to have those down and I’m still struggling with my setup.
I have this plane too, it really is the most relaxed one I have out of all the Horizon planes, for myself its great even on the 3s 2200, high winds not even a problem because it so predictable. I only had one thing weird setting it up to a DX8...the "D" switch was reversed so I just reversed 'it', I got the memo about the ESC overheating in its original spot but instead of moving it to the front I removed the plastic 'turbo' exhausts and never had a problem even on a 90+ degree day with a 4s. Super nice plane, Its the ONLY plane Ive had that I can hover for any length of time without really moving...and no Im not a 3d flier.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yea! The oval hole left by removing them is at an angle to the nose....probably a lot of air rushing in and exiting through that vent in the belly. Ive put my finger on the esc after landing on hot days and its not what you'd call hot at all.
I'm kind of liking these bigger ones if only because you can still see them a bit farther out. The small ones can be hard to still see. Reverse thrust in a prop ... 😲 And how slow it can fly without head wind. OK, I like this plane.
After watching your videos for years now I want to ask if you made your driveway longer just to use as a runwway? You have the perfect back yard. I moved more into helicopters because of having to load up and go fly. But I’m back into planes and getting a turbo timber next. Iv moved to TN and found plenty of places to fky
We build this runway as a runway that we use for getting cars back and forth from the OTHER runway - LOL - but sometimes other pesky people use our BIG runway to also drive their cars back and forth - how rude, right??!??!? LOL But seriously, we did build this as a runway, and we'll eventually extend it, if all goes to plane. We have just send a HUUUUUGE check to have the power lines buried too, so no longer will we see those ugo power lines ;) And I don't have to worry about hitting them and getting killed when I PPG - also good!
I went on the wait list for tt evo from hobbie shop here in Australia got mine Dec 2022, it's seems Horizon has listened to us once again. I knew about the esc overheating due to position and they I think have lengthened the leads from battery to esc and to the motor and moved the ecs position forward staight out the factory, I was only running 3s but it didn't get hot at all the slightest bit warm of course could nothing one wouldn't expect and the esc's position was located forward close to airflow coming the front of the craft. I believe the proplem is fixed and if you want to move it there is plenty of length in power leads to accommodate our needs now.
Great work Brian and Camera Crew Megan! I love your videos :) I ordered a TT Evo, NX8, 4 gen 2 3200 batteries and a S2200 charger after seeing your videos. Looking forward to get her up in the air :)
I lost control of mine due to overheating with the revision implemented . I now wait a minimum of 15 minutes between flights and I cut a NACA duct in the battery cover just forward if the ESC and battery. I also move my battery as far back as possible to allow more ESC exposure. After a flight on 4s 4000 the ESC is still over 200F but it’s not as bad as before. About 10-15F less. Has anyone else had this experience? I’m in North Carolina but it wasn’t over 80F outside at the time.
@@TwoBrosRC Thanks, Jon. I’ve seen your video on mods for the TT Evo but I keep forgetting to get a 13x4 when I go to Hangar 18. I definitely plan to try it soon as in this weekend. I bought the last EC-1500 from H18 at the end of July, so I’m kind of consumed with that at the moment.
I love my TT Evo but it's so hard to land. It just floats to will it's hard to get it to come down. Plus flipping the switch and then giving reverse full throttle is counterintuitive. I crashed by trying to thrust reverse but it was actually still in normal thrust. It took off and instantly slammed into tree. Luckily no damage. Gonna have to try and figure it pilot fatigue. I don't have any extra channels though.
I assume you're landing with full landing flaps? Are you gliding in? If so, ALSO give about 5-15% throttle to make the prop spin under load...this will help slow down the plane too...I know it sounds like BS, but it's a huge surface when it's spinning, and will create a ton of drag. Also, pilot fatigue setup is in a bunch of radio setup videos we've done, if you want to try it out. You could steal the SAFE channel, but make sure you re-assign it to G or some other switch so you don't get confused and accidentally end up turning on REVERSE when you're looking for SAFE!!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes full flaps. I will try the 5-15% throttle. I have seen your pilot fatigue setup a couple times, need to go back and watch. Problem is I don't have safe channel. I have a DX 6 and 6th channel is thrust reverse. I just need to make that the pilot fatigue I guess. Thanks for the info as always. 🙂
I've said it before and I'll say it again.....Brian we love your videos keep it up buddy!!! I git into flying a couple years ago now and thanks to you, you've helped me so much along the way everything from watching your setup videos, to listening to your "rc planes 101 for dummies " tutorials, to answering my questions I've sent you in the comments sections. You've been a great help to me making my new hobby less difficult than it has to be ,I really appreciate all you and your wife does for us and the hobby!
So what do you prefer to fly... jets or planes like the Turbo Timber? My blood says jets. Because I want harder, more challenging, complex, and faster. Also for anyone, if you've flown the Crescendo Glider, do you think it could fly on a large baseball field/park?
Just got mine last week, WEnt together pretty easily. Got reverse set up today and it works great. Have not done maiden yet. I use the Radiomaster TX16s transmitter. I can't get an answer what TBEC monitors nor the TFET monitors. It shows temps but not sure if its for the ESC or motor temps. The A2 is suppose to show the battery level on the plane but that doesn't work right. Can you tell me what to use for engine temp or ESC temp. Also what is the temp range for both of those readings. Thanks for the help. Al
I bought this a year ago "Because Brian Phillips Said So And That's The Bottom Line" LOL. It was a winter Flyer and loved it !! Tail dragers are Awesome !! I decided to sell because of issues with flying privilege's being revoked till further notice. This was my relaxation from Heli flying in the winter months. Awesome video once again Mr. Phillips and crew
Thanks, but why did you sell? Sounds like the hugest issue of RID (remote ID) may be getting solved right now. Bummed you did, but glad you got to love it for some time. Maybe you could get the UMX Timber for a revisit ;) Timber bit.ly/3OjD6jf
@BrianPhillipsRC by the time we get back to the field ! Thebsnow will be gone 🤦 that is the whole reason for the planes for me. I am a heli guy, and now back in the office everyday, not workingbfrom home anymore so weekends will be spent with the family, not fair to dissappear on the weekends anymore ! And I have 2 UMX TT, awesome Park Fliers ! If you know what I mean, those are keepers
Hi Brian I have been watching your plane videos for the last couple of years in NewZealand. You kind of got me started. unfortunately somebody convinced me the timber x would be OK for my first big plane (I have since destroyed it hahaha) I went back to basics and have been flying a carbon cub s 1.3m. I'm trying to work out what my next plane will be. All of my flying is off thick grass and concerned if I buy the valiant for $500 I will struggle. Am I better to save my money and get the turbo timber evolution for $700
Brian I purchased a eflight commander.Standing in front of plane the prop is pointing down and to the right. I always believed the motor was to the left and down. Please let me know what is correct.
Great as always. I felt like you were describing me with the 20 year hiatus comment but you guys are helping me thru. Have you ever done flightline planes
TTE pilot with around 100 flights here. Some helpful mods:
-Move the ESC forward and removing the plastic exhaust tubes will help with cooling greatly
-require soldering, but split the ailerons into their own channels for Crow… this airplane lands amazing with Crow
-Switch out the prop for 13x4. Much less current draw and heat but with nice thrust
FYI this airplane can also take a beating in the sky. I’ve pulled 9 G’s on maneuvers frequently with no issues. Great airplane!
How to you setup crow on the TTE ?
@@LifenSantaBarbara you need to reset the receiver and move the ailerons so they each have their own separate channel. Then you have to cut/split the harness and add a DuPont connector bc they are currently set up to same channel. The rest is done in the Tx. Basically do the opposite of “flapperons”
I tried hitting thrust reverse mid-flight with my RV-7 recently. I must not have had the prop nut on tight enough because it torqued right off along with the spinner. Never found either and Horizon Hobby doesn't sell that prop nut by itself. Only with the motor. So, to anyone reading this, learn from my mistake: Make sure your prop is on there securely if you want to play with thrust reverse in the air!
Take the prop shaft to any hardware/automotive shop. The prop nuts are regular nuts & can be gotten almost anywhere 🤷. Most are 5/16".
I got tired of THAT crap happening, so i did the research

What more needs finished on it. I use to build and fly DUCTED FAN jets from fiberglass with foam cut wings. I had to fiberglass the wings then fill it all with gap sealer. Sand then paint.

Brain, you sound a little chugged up, you been sick buddy😉
What do you suggest for elevator at flap mixing?
Thank you for all you do. Even when you are not feeling 100%. You and Megan do way more than review planes to help (ALL) pilots. Your channel is more of an RC Aviation Course. Thank you both.
Best gift of the year for me. My son has the Night Timber X and wanted the float set for it. The hobby shop didn't have the float set is stock, so he bought the TT Evo so he could have the floats and gave me the plane!! 😲 Aren't kids amazing!! Another great video by the best team on the TH-cams!! Keep up the amazing work (and fun) you both do!!
What do you think about the Ovonic 3s Lipo 4500 mAh 11.1 V battery, for the Turbo ?TimberEvo
I think it might be too big, but not 100% sure
I’m so sorry for all of your batteries 😂
Thank you Brian and Megan. Your sincerity for the hobby is huge. I have my EVO a year now. 4 fuselages and 2 wing sets later I love it. Learned a lot from you. Now if I could fly as good as you my venture into my new T-28 V2 would be less nerve racking 😳. Thanks again and GB.
Thanks guys for another great video especially when unwell. Well done too to Megan who has to put up with you Brian!
I have flown r/c heli's before would this be a good trainer for transition to straight wing???
You could do this plane, but it's very capable. Might want to consider something more beginner friendly, if you want to lock in a good experience...

Brian, I live in FL I've been flying a sport cub S2. ANY wind and its ALL OVER the place. Am I just trying to advance into a bigger more powerful plane too quickly? I don't really have any problems flying the sport cub it just seems to get tossed around a lot. I don't know anyone in the hobby. Does that get better with a little bit larger plane?
Yes, they get a lot better dealing with wind as they get bigger, but wind will always be a factor, even when you're into way more advanced planes.
As for another choice that might get you flying in more circumstances, the Turbo Timber Evo would be a good choice, but it's a BIG leap from the Sport Cub S UMX, just so you don't feel like I mislead you in some way.
Also, the UMX Turbo Timber and Timber X are GREAT choices too...but you need a REAL transmitter, if you want to really take advantage of these BNF planes...
Tx bit.ly/3J05xSj - NX8 or more, if you really want to save a few bucks on very temporal middle steps
Timber bit.ly/3OjD6jf - I prefer the Turbo Timber Evo 1.5m OR either of the UMX planes given your circumstances, and keep in mind, we have done all of them...so there's footage out NOW that you can look over.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks for the awesome and thorough reply!!! I have a DX6E Radio but I would like at least an 8 CH. I deffinitely want a plan with flaps and would really like to have reverse thrust as well. I flew the sport cub yesterday in about 10 MPH gust and the poor thing was just getting tossed around. I was able to force it around but at WOT it was barely able to fly forward through the wind. Greatly appreciate your suggestions. I'll be doing a deeper dive on them as they were already on my radar.
Add crow and explain how to program the NX8 for it please.
I've used crow and have demonstrated how to do it, but I won't be changing this plane. It flies amazing on it's stock BNF setup. To add crow you'd basically have to tear out the Rx, and install a bigger one, since all the channels are used up as it is ;( If you want to do it, we added crow on the FMS Ranger 1220mm as well as the FMS Cessna 182, among others.
Guys, this is the Builtin I mentioned about moving the ESC...
Product: E-flite® Turbo Timber Evolution BNF Basic and PNP (EFL105250, EFL105275)
Issue: When flying on hot days (85+˚F/29+˚C), especially when flying aggressively with 4-cell batteries, the ESC can enter Thermal Protection mode (which reduces the maximum power to 60%).
What To Do:
Before running the motor, move the ESC from its original location under the battery tray to the front of the compartment. This change allows for better cooling, and prevents the ESC from entering Thermal Protection mode under the same conditions.
To change the placement of the ESC for improved cooling, follow these steps:
1.Carefully slide the ESC to the front of the compartment below the battery tray.
2.Carefully pull the battery power leads and IC3® connector out from under the tray. Ensure the leads are not under strain or pressure.
3.Check to make sure the motor power leads are not touching the rotating part of the motor. Ensure the leads are not under strain or pressure.
TIP: Use a zip tie, hook and look strap, etc. to carefully bundle the wire leads and secure them away from the motor.
We apologize for this inconvenience.

This was great . Thanks for the radio tips on how to set up reverse thrust . You do a good job explaining this stuff . I've just started flying my TT EVO and it really is an awesome plane . I felt really confident with it from the first flight so i'd like to practise using reverse thrust on this before trying it on some of the other planes I have that could really use it .
That's me , I;m just getting back into flying after a very long break . I was into mostly helicopters and the collective pitch models had a steep learning curve back then .
The new Spektrum stuff with AS3X and Safe is by far the best , and it's so much easier to set up than it used to be . I've figured out most of what i need to do fairly intuitively ., but I really appreciate the forward programming and downloadable radio and receiver models .
Totally agree - the Spektrum stuff just seems to work really good, even though it can take a bit to figure out at first, then you get a really nice product at the end. The Reflex stabilizer from FMS and the Vortex from Arrows have been nice additions, but they're still not as refined as the AS3X from Spektrum, in my experience.
What kind of batteries can you run in the turbo Timber evolution
3S and 4S - I suggest 3200 MAX, but 2200mAh 4S would be my go to for this plane...
2200 4S bit.ly/3RQTafm
2700 4S bit.ly/3B558fl

Love to see a review of the FMS 800mm Corsair. Awesome video!
Haha the only planes I haven't crashed are ones I haven't flown yet. Lol
LOL - Very nice!
Hi Brian , can you tell me what the slats do and how the airplane acts with the slats on.
Slats increase drag, reduce stall speed, and allow for higher AOA without stalling. AKA they make the plane more STOL capable.
They're basically like Flaps, almost exactly in their function, only they're on the front of the wing. They are also FIXED, in this application, rather than controlled, or gravity operated.
I like them, but I really like slow flight.
I dont have money four bay
on the trudo timber i was thinking to us 4S 14.8V 3200 50c IC3 { SPMX 32004550 } what your opinion
Should be fine - 3200 4S bit.ly/3ojE4S2
Don't really NEED 50C but it's not gonna hurt anything but your wallet.
Could crow be added to this plane? If so, How would you do it?
Technically yes, but it'll be a lot of work, and I definitely don't think it's worth it - SOME DO.
Crow is not "hard" to add, but it's all about if you have to plop in a more expensive Rx to accomplish all the needs.
We're gonna be adding it on our 2M SWS (the balsa wood one) soon, but that one has the equipment to do it built in, only just setup and a little re-wiring, whereas this 1.5m offering would need to bump up (If I'm remembering what Rx it has correctly & Assuming you don't want to give anything else up)
Hey Brian this is Lee from Newport NC l was about to buy a used turbo timber Elvo someone have for sale but had second thoughts of buying it so I took my Spectrum DX6e transmitter with me to check it out so I bind the plane everything works out good control works LED Lights l did the AS3X test move the plane up and down side to side none of them works Ali ELE RUDDER so l check out the receiver it comes with a Spectrum AR637TA instead it was switched out with a used AR637T so I didn't buy it so l will Just buy a new one so what are your options about this used airplane
I really wish I would have got that plane instead of the original. I hate that bottom battery box. Yea, um I'm trying to never crash to it being totaled. I'm too much of a tight wad. Did have to replace landing gear once though. Maybe my wife will get it for me from ya this Christmas.
Hello brian rc, its true if US must have standar remotID for All aircraft models at sept 2022?
Corn hole isn’t sticks in , it’s both sticks in same direction. Upper left or upper right together. Stick in would cause a crankshaft I believe.
Brian, why does this only fly for 7 minutes when I saw you fly the Carbon Cub 2m for 20 minutes?
I'm getting ready to buy one through your link to use as a float plane on our club's RC Sailboat pond
Been busy and got behind on your video's.. But I'm back!! Haha Man, this is another that I've slept on.. I have the timber x and love it. This tho.. Looks much more tame. As in flight characteristics. Love the scheme of it as well. Great video!
Bryan please convince horizon to scrap this landing gear and go with the twin timber landing gear it is far superior, beefier and less hassel
I don't know if they will, since the Twin Timber is considerably bigger...but would love to see the best landing gear we can get on all of these planes. Soft tires are much appreciated, and we're ready to adopt them for all planes now and going forward!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks Brian, I am using the twin timber springs on my turbo timber and love it ,no issues, I appreciate your response.
I want that plane. Love my umx turbo timber and I learned to fly on it. Need to fly the planes I have more first. I joined a flying field but have only been a few times all summer. Wish I could fly from my driveway like you Id be flying everyday. At least im in georgia where we pretty much dont have winter. Lol
Thanks for yoz videos .... What happend if I loose signal ? There is fail safe programmed in BNF version or not?
Why does the ESC cut out on my second battery? Seems like it cuts out on overheating? Major weakness for this plane.
Very Informative Brian. I Am Just Getting Back Into Flying My Old 70mm a-10 After About 4 Years Of Not Flying It. And Yes I Watch All Of Your Vids From Start To Finish. You Put The Comic Back Into The Comedy As Well Thank You.
A new member at our club has this plane and I've landed it for him a few times. Very stable and easy to fly. Sorry that your voice is a pony. Pony ... little horse ... little hoarse! That was terrible but I still wrote it!
Loved it "PONY" - we could start it up here on Brian Phillips RC - people don't surely already think I'm a huge dork??? LOL
I just purchased a Timber Evo and my first flight was today. The entire front ripped off the plane on takeoff and the prop damaged the body of the plane. It looks like 4 metal bars connect somehow from the factory. They do not line up well and I am not sure what happend. I assume this was a factory defect but have you ever heard of this happening?
I've never heard of it happening on maiden, but I have personally had it happen to me on my red and white (original 1.5m) Timber (NOT Turbo or Turbo EVO)...and it was crazy...the whole battery and esc pulled out - it was hilarious, but also super annoying, since I was trying to sell the plane, and was showing a demo of how nice it still was!!! I ended up giving it to the guy for free, and he had it fixed in like 10 minutes, BUT I would be pissed if that happened ON MAIDEN!
I'd 100% hit up HH about this and get them to make it right in some way.
Good luck and sorry for the annoying problem!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks. HH told me to go to local hobby shop. Pretty wild to see that happen. Oh well. Your videos are amazing!!!!! I check everyday.
One more question. I read that a bunch of people have flown this plane with the 13x4 prop from the TImber x/Night Timber. They claim less esc loading and better performance. Of course the look is different and the prop clearance will be less. Is this a good idea to try in your opinion. I am interested to hear your thoughts. Thank you.
so true!! Keep the conservative flying for the end of your battery pack. haha
That sticks to bottom left to do holding pattern I can see a bunch of ppl who don't read all the instructions will be crashing these or if you make a mistake in entering hold pattern mode will cause a lot of destroyed timbers they should have a button to do left hold and double click for right hold I think the only reason they did it on the sticks is so that if you crash it they'll make more money off of parts or new planes as well that's just my opinion but yes these are very nice fine I own one and love it I put it in holding pattern so I can get used to what fpv looks like before I actually start flying with fpv on it cuz it's way different
Just got mine a couple weeks ago and just flew it again this morning! Basically my first RC plane "as an adult" (though I've flown full size C172s and destroyed a couple RC planes as an "in over my head" kid in the 90s. Love it so far - had no problem taking off and landing with no real practice to speak of.
I have set both the throttle cut and the reverse on the same 3 positions button. 0 position is forward, 1 position is throttle cut, 2 position is reverse. I added 1s delay on the throttle cut to make the swich less brutal. This is very intuitive and works like a charm.
Go fix you a hot toddy...🤪 you guys take care excellent video well executed👍🤠
Love your videos, I've probably watch over half of them and several a dozen times... you have been a Godsend in my learning process, but like you mentioned I have a great relationship with my local hobby shop and like to pick up things the day I need or want them. With that said, I would like to support your channel, I can't tell you how valuable it has been...what is your PayPal address? Thanks for making this hobby so much fun!

Question,, will the nx6 fly the comander,, hope you get over that sore throat stuff soon
Great information and flight, cool plane, subscribed
Hello Brian😁😁😁😁😁its great Airplane,its super 🏆🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
I have a Timber Turbo evo, 1.5 I have overheated three motors and two esc’s
How can I fix this problem, love to fly this Timber but motors are expensive, HH hasn’t helped
They have a technical builtin out that states to move the ESC out of the original spot, back into the opening. This should help. If it doesn't, are you going crazy on 100% throttle all the time?
Follow this link, bit.ly/3z3ycSP - then click on the "Important Bulletin" (sorry, it wouldn't let me copy the link to the builtin)
There's pictures too if you look at the document...
Product: E-flite® Turbo Timber Evolution BNF Basic and PNP (EFL105250, EFL105275)

@@BrianPhillipsRC yes, I do like to fly 3/4 throttle or more, some guys say cut vents around the motor, it’s gets very hot
After reading many others comments about the motor getting very hot, they all recommend cutting the cowling open around the spinner, and cutting the vent under the spinner 1/4 “ larger, and then only running 3c 2200 batteries, this plane has serious overheating problems, I love this plane if I can only overcome these problems
What is the difference between AS3X and SAFE?
I share this all the time, so try watching this explanation on any of many Unbox, Build, Radio Setup videos. This short description won't do it justice...
AS3X - Artificial Stabilization Three Axis - This is used to help the plane keep going the direction it's going. It will help mitigate the effects of wind, thermals, down-drafts, etc...and help you feel more in control, as an RC pilot.
SAFE - Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope - This uses AS3X, and adds another layer to keep the plane level, when you let go of the sticks. I like to tall this feature "Auto-leveling" to the laymen, but it's got some more features too, like limiting your bank and pitch angles, to help keep you out of trouble. You can, of course, tune many of these values to make the plane respond the way you want it to respond, but most of the time, if you need / want SAFE, you're going to be on the beginner side of things, and won't have the wherewithal to make such adjustments. This is where we come in - watch our Unbox Build Radio Setup videos, and we'll help you figure this stuff out. It takes time and some effort, but a well tuned plane will be the envy of most RC clubs...and you'll enjoy a much higher survivability and enjoyment.
Thanks
I love my Evo TT. But I opted to remove the leading edge slats, as I thought it has plenty of lift even without.
I also removed the internal spring retainers in the landing gear springs...this stops the end coils from bending.
Brian. This is no doubt the best of the Timber line up. Yes. I have and had them all. Glad Horizon updated it. I have the V1 of this permanent setup for float flying. It’s still great too when you get past the bottom feed for the lipo. I highly recommend the Turbo Timber Evo. 👍👍😊
Hello Brian if I order the EVO now will it be the one with new revision? And how do I tell from the box if I find one at a local shop?
Brian I have a question will the Nx-8 bind to the old e flight recievers that are in the Apprentice S ?
Got this plane just over 2 weeks ago love it. Unfortunately I flew into a tree 3 days ago now waiting on a new fusalodge as it squashed the engine mount.
Can you show us how to setup individual throttles for a twin engine plane?
One year anniversary of the TTEvo, so perfect timing. I bought mine because of your original video in May 2021 and received it July 21, 2021, my first pre-order experience :) Its an awesome plane, and mine is still in mint condition because its so easy to fly.
How is this conpared to tje apprentice for a first time flyer?
You guys do a great job! I value your videos very much. Was out of the hobby for almost 20 years and you helped me get back into it. Thanks
Brian, I was hoping you could give your input on a controversial issue. Do you prefer the TTE with or without flaps? Do you notice better slow flight performance? Some say that the scale of the plane prevents the slats from increasing the potential AoA.
I think you mean with or without SLATS (right???)
100% Slats ON ;) I want them to be ACTIVE on the next Carbon Z Timber ;)
Yes, I meant slats. I just did an interesting experiment. I covered the front of one slat with painters tape to impede airflow through it, then I took it out to fly. At low speeds and high AoA, the plane consistently stalled hard to that side.
I did this to see if slats on scale models actually function the way they do on full sized planes, these results suggest they do. If I had more courage, I’d take the slat off one side and try the same tests; however, the asymmetrical drag concerns me.
Thanks for the review Brian, watched your review and build, so inspired bought via the link, she is such a beauty, love the deep grunt of the motor, got 3s 4000 and 4s 2200 .. Im ex heli 3d.. but i love this ...she booms !
Ohhhh yeahhh! Get her in the air :)
Thanks for revisiting this fun plane. May I ask you for your % throw and % elevator compensation for flaps, you really seem to have those down and I’m still struggling with my setup.
16% for takeoff and 30% for landing.
I have this plane too, it really is the most relaxed one I have out of all the Horizon planes, for myself its great even on the 3s 2200, high winds not even a problem because it so predictable. I only had one thing weird setting it up to a DX8...the "D" switch was reversed so I just reversed 'it', I got the memo about the ESC overheating in its original spot but instead of moving it to the front I removed the plastic 'turbo' exhausts and never had a problem even on a 90+ degree day with a 4s. Super nice plane, Its the ONLY plane Ive had that I can hover for any length of time without really moving...and no Im not a 3d flier.
Nice! So you made the exhausts REAL ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC Yea! The oval hole left by removing them is at an angle to the nose....probably a lot of air rushing in and exiting through that vent in the belly. Ive put my finger on the esc after landing on hot days and its not what you'd call hot at all.
Do you think it would be a good starter plane?
Thanks Brian just bought this one and I can't even fly. If I have a product I'm having you sell it. Lol
AWESOME!!! Thanks :)
I'm kind of liking these bigger ones if only because you can still see them a bit farther out. The small ones can be hard to still see. Reverse thrust in a prop ... 😲
And how slow it can fly without head wind.
OK, I like this plane.
yes, I prefer big ones too ;)
Oh No...No...your rc like a model walking on the catwalk. Very Nice
Wow, thanks ;)
Our favorite E-flite plane! we have two! Forward programming should also work with the DX8 Gen2, correct?
Not to butt in but "forward programming?" mines bound to a DX8 G2 and have no idea what you mean...just curious.
After watching your videos for years now I want to ask if you made your driveway longer just to use as a runwway? You have the perfect back yard. I moved more into helicopters because of having to load up and go fly. But I’m back into planes and getting a turbo timber next. Iv moved to TN and found plenty of places to fky
We build this runway as a runway that we use for getting cars back and forth from the OTHER runway - LOL - but sometimes other pesky people use our BIG runway to also drive their cars back and forth - how rude, right??!??!?
LOL
But seriously, we did build this as a runway, and we'll eventually extend it, if all goes to plane. We have just send a HUUUUUGE check to have the power lines buried too, so no longer will we see those ugo power lines ;) And I don't have to worry about hitting them and getting killed when I PPG - also good!
I went on the wait list for tt evo from hobbie shop here in Australia got mine Dec 2022, it's seems Horizon has listened to us once again. I knew about the esc overheating due to position and they I think have lengthened the leads from battery to esc and to the motor and moved the ecs position forward staight out the factory, I was only running 3s but it didn't get hot at all the slightest bit warm of course could nothing one wouldn't expect and the esc's position was located forward close to airflow coming the front of the craft. I believe the proplem is fixed and if you want to move it there is plenty of length in power leads to accommodate our needs now.
Thanks for the heads up! I wasn't yet aware of the change
Hi Brian,
Would be great if you could advise the best plane to begin with, in your opinion what plane would be the easiest to learn to fly.
Thanks
Alfred, we suggest these beginner planes as great choices, and would be happy to help you refine from this list, or if you see another plane on another of our thousands of videos ;)

Thanks John!!!!!!
Thank you for what you do, Brian. 👏🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Thanks for the "Super Thanks"!!! It is much appreciated!
Number 1 baby , hope you feel better Brian!!!
hopefully your voice gets better soon
SECEND
I preorder mine. STILL have not had it in the air
How would this fly with a 3200 3 cell pack
It would be fine, but a bit less punchy on power, and slower. It would do fine though.
@@BrianPhillipsRC
Thanks. Your videos are the best!
Love your videos you help me to understand how safe works and just buy one, I can't wait to fly it or crash it whichever comes first
You can do it Robbie! So much fun ahead of you!!!
Going to buy one timber TTEVO
Love my turbo timber one of my favorites with the air tractor
Brian, thanks for doing what you do in the RC world! Flying tips are much appreciated, and the camera crew makes every video top notch!
Thank you sincerely Dan!!! Megan does a great job!
what is 3d plane i am new at RC flying
It's when you fly a plane 3D, where the plane is hovering around and doing lots of highly technical aerobatics.
More than just loops and rolls like a real plane could do...this includes harriers and prop hangs, and all sorts of craziness
You're losing your voice.
I lost control of mine due to overheating with the revision implemented . I now wait a minimum of 15 minutes between flights and I cut a NACA duct in the battery cover just forward if the ESC and battery. I also move my battery as far back as possible to allow more ESC exposure. After a flight on 4s 4000 the ESC is still over 200F but it’s not as bad as before. About 10-15F less. Has anyone else had this experience? I’m in North Carolina but it wasn’t over 80F outside at the time.
Go with a 13x4, my man. It'll keep from overheating. You know us, we're local. 😉
@@TwoBrosRC Thanks, Jon. I’ve seen your video on mods for the TT Evo but I keep forgetting to get a 13x4 when I go to Hangar 18. I definitely plan to try it soon as in this weekend. I bought the last EC-1500 from H18 at the end of July, so I’m kind of consumed with that at the moment.
Awesome plane , It’s on my list.
I love my TT Evo but it's so hard to land. It just floats to will it's hard to get it to come down. Plus flipping the switch and then giving reverse full throttle is counterintuitive. I crashed by trying to thrust reverse but it was actually still in normal thrust. It took off and instantly slammed into tree. Luckily no damage. Gonna have to try and figure it pilot fatigue. I don't have any extra channels though.
I assume you're landing with full landing flaps? Are you gliding in? If so, ALSO give about 5-15% throttle to make the prop spin under load...this will help slow down the plane too...I know it sounds like BS, but it's a huge surface when it's spinning, and will create a ton of drag.
Also, pilot fatigue setup is in a bunch of radio setup videos we've done, if you want to try it out. You could steal the SAFE channel, but make sure you re-assign it to G or some other switch so you don't get confused and accidentally end up turning on REVERSE when you're looking for SAFE!!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes full flaps. I will try the 5-15% throttle. I have seen your pilot fatigue setup a couple times, need to go back and watch. Problem is I don't have safe channel. I have a DX 6 and 6th channel is thrust reverse. I just need to make that the pilot fatigue I guess. Thanks for the info as always. 🙂
I've said it before and I'll say it again.....Brian we love your videos keep it up buddy!!! I git into flying a couple years ago now and thanks to you, you've helped me so much along the way everything from watching your setup videos, to listening to your "rc planes 101 for dummies " tutorials, to answering my questions I've sent you in the comments sections. You've been a great help to me making my new hobby less difficult than it has to be ,I really appreciate all you and your wife does for us and the hobby!
So what do you prefer to fly... jets or planes like the Turbo Timber? My blood says jets. Because I want harder, more challenging, complex, and faster. Also for anyone, if you've flown the Crescendo Glider, do you think it could fly on a large baseball field/park?
Gotta love the Evo!
yes!
I love my turbo timber evolution. It flies great.
Just got mine last week, WEnt together pretty easily. Got reverse set up today and it works great. Have not done maiden yet. I use the Radiomaster TX16s transmitter. I can't get an answer what TBEC monitors nor the TFET monitors. It shows temps but not sure if its for the ESC or motor temps. The A2 is suppose to show the battery level on the plane but that doesn't work right. Can you tell me what to use for engine temp or ESC temp. Also what is the temp range for both of those readings. Thanks for the help. Al
I bought this a year ago "Because Brian Phillips Said So And That's The Bottom Line" LOL. It was a winter Flyer and loved it !! Tail dragers are Awesome !! I decided to sell because of issues with flying privilege's being revoked till further notice. This was my relaxation from Heli flying in the winter months. Awesome video once again Mr. Phillips and crew
Thanks, but why did you sell? Sounds like the hugest issue of RID (remote ID) may be getting solved right now. Bummed you did, but glad you got to love it for some time.
Maybe you could get the UMX Timber for a revisit ;) Timber bit.ly/3OjD6jf
@BrianPhillipsRC by the time we get back to the field ! Thebsnow will be gone 🤦 that is the whole reason for the planes for me. I am a heli guy, and now back in the office everyday, not workingbfrom home anymore so weekends will be spent with the family, not fair to dissappear on the weekends anymore !
And I have 2 UMX TT, awesome Park Fliers ! If you know what I mean, those are keepers
During winter you should try the floats out on the snow and make a third thoughts on the evo
We should! Good idea!
Hi Brian
I have been watching your plane videos for the last couple of years in NewZealand. You kind of got me started. unfortunately somebody convinced me the timber x would be OK for my first big plane (I have since destroyed it hahaha) I went back to basics and have been flying a carbon cub s 1.3m.
I'm trying to work out what my next plane will be. All of my flying is off thick grass and concerned if I buy the valiant for $500 I will struggle. Am I better to save my money and get the turbo timber evolution for $700
nice update,really enjoy mine

Brian I purchased a eflight commander.Standing in front of plane the prop is pointing down and to the right. I always believed the motor was to the left and down. Please let me know what is correct.
Great as always. I felt like you were describing me with the 20 year hiatus comment but you guys are helping me thru. Have you ever done flightline planes
