Hands down the BEST videos for RC aircraft on TH-cam!!! Professional quality, but more importantly, passes on lots of great information about how to improve things. Refreshing to see videos that actually help the RC air community, instead of just "showing off" what airplanes they have acquired. Especially like the way Adam allows you to HEAR the aircraft fly, versus constantly talking over the video!!! I recommend this channel to all our customers, especially the newer flyers. Keep up the great work! 👍
Nice work Adam! This model is a clear winner - your flying helps demonstrate why. Hopefully all the nay-sayers going "Not another Timber" will find something better to complain about.
Loved the moon shot Adam! Probably the coolest shot I've seen with an RC plane! Really appreciate the time and effort into the channel brother. Keep up the great work!🛩
Holy cow. A Twinber... Very interesting indeed. I love my OG TT 1.5M, but this is a whole new level.. What a fun plane.. Very complete and honest review and quality video, really enjoy watching your reviews.. Thanks for sharing with us. Will
Man, that was some nice flying, Adam. Smooth as silk. I'm glad HH includes both rudder and differential motors! Gotta Hava rudder. This is Mark @ RC Aviation and Motorsports II, which is down, I've lost both my youtube channels now, LOL! Great video, and filming by Heidi!
@Model AV8R I "Saved" my TH-cam password, so didn't write it down. But youtube doesn't "save" the password very long. Later, youtube account required me to sign in with my password, which I no longer have, as I thought it had been saved. Now I'm locked out. My brother was trying to help, but made things worse, as he lost my 2nd channel too inadvertently, now I have no channel. Have to start over with yet another channel, and after I buy a new laptop, UGH!
Probably one of your best reviews going my friend. This is not a plane I typically look at or for, however there are aspects that Im very attracted to. I knew you would give the best and hands down the most honest review that I could watch. Loved the bush flying!
@@ModelAV8RChannel I may have mentioned this to you but many years ago there was a twin made by Kyosho called the Duet. The single Timber looks very much like its suster tge Etude. There is very much an element of nostalgia with the twin as I owned the Duet way back when. This was of course back when we still used 6 and 7 cell nicads with sub c cells and 8.4 volts was a big deal! Regardless for its time the Duet was a wonderful flier and I cant help but see the similarities between the two. Obviously MUCH, has changed since then. Watching you put the twin through all its paces and seeing how much fun it is earned you a link click. Now if I could just figure out how to put tricycle gear on it lol
That is so cool David, I looked that plane up on line...I see what you're saying! Thank you brother for using our link, we very much appreciate that! With your modeling skill...you'll figure it out I'm sure. I run the packs as far back as I can get them, so there is room for a nose wheel set up right at the front, and maybe a separate 9g servo. The gear leg would have to be pretty long though, kind of like an Airacobra. Dang man, now I'm thinking about it! Lol
@@ModelAV8RChannel when mine comes we may have to make a project out of it 😉. Ill have to figure out tge reverse thrust also! Matbe someone can do a short setup video on rgat 🤔
Setting up reverse is pretty easy David, they cover it well in the manual. You do it twice...once for each side. It is a fun feature to play with, as long as you don't pull an Adam and hit it in flight...Lol.
I too mistaked my reverse throttle for flaps. Unfortunately for me I was going for a low and slow for photo op. it ended in disaster for my pristine Draco. My heart came out of my chest. Yes it is still flying to day. I did separate the two switches so I would not repeat the same mistake a second time. This is a great video. I am pre ordering my tiwnber today.
Great review of the Twimber and nice of you to put all that slow flying time in for Heidi. Lol. I don't know if it is in the card for initial release but I want one in my hanger. Thanks
Slow flying performance is outstanding ! Wouldn’t expect this from a heavier timber because of twin motors. I like the stand for the wing spar, and off course it retains the ease of disassembly from the timber evo. Great plane. 👌
My favourite all time is the original Timber & the Twin version should be a great companion. I love the Twin Nova so looking forward to this one being released here Adam. Fantastic job with the intro & putting her thru it’s paces. So well filmed Heidi.✅✅✅
As always you guys are on point. Thank you for putting out awesome information, it's always in a professional and easy to comprehend discussion. Keep up the good work that you do for the RC community.👍👍👍
Well first of all, great save Adam! That was a close one! Lol! Another great review and loved the moonshot! This is an amazing plane! I like the upgrade to the landing gear.
Another fab and groovy review, Adam! Whatever next from HH? An edf, canard, autogyro Timber? Looks like a very flexible platform and it was only a matter of time until a twin Timber showed up. I like this Twin Timber a lot and you've produced a well-rounded instructional video. Bravo!
@@ModelAV8RChannel We have actually moved now, but there's so much 'house' stuff to do right now that there's no time for flying. All models are still in boxes, but I might do a quick video comparing our new field with the last one. I'm itching (or Jonesing, as you chaps say) to get out and fly something! 😄
Great video and shirt color choice (matchie matchie) LOL Ugg I'm going to have to get one of these, where the heck am I going to put it! It looks just awesome.
Another great review Adam. What a great plane too. If I had known that Twin Timber was on the horizon I would most certainly have held off on my purchase of the Turbo Timber Evo. At *every* level the Twin beats the Evo. The Evo has been killed.
Great review again. I love the prop clearance , I too am a bush pilot so fun. Hard plane not to buy. I wonder if that landing gear will fit on my evo? I will have to investigate. Awesome video.
Thank you! I just recently found your channel. I am just getting back into RC after more years than a care to admit. Thank you for the videos you post. Subscribed and liked! I do have one question, where do you fly? It's beautiful there.
Jim glad you found us...welcome, and we are glad you like what we do! Thanks for the kind words and the sub! We fly in Georgia. One of the venues was a private field, and the other was Fayette Flyers RC Club.
Yep. They just keep getting better. Not the Twin I was expecting BUT. Horizon hit another home run as far as I’m concerned. Pre-ordered thru your link my friend. I understand those folks may not be a fan of the Timber line and that is ok. To each their own. There’s a lot of choices out there for all. We that love RC are the benefactors. Adam, you a steller pilot and we really appreciate your perspective on reviews. HH is lucky to have you. 👍😉
Thanks Brad for the kind words my friend! The Timber line is a winner, they are all good, but I really love the twin! Thanks very much for using our link, we appreciate it!
I have a Bush Mule and a Grand Tundra so won't be getting one of these. BUT this looks like it has the Bush Mule licked! Much better gear and wiring made so easy (I had to spend some time on mine converting to a single plug), non-exploding props and decent wheels are just 3 examples I noted. The Grand Tundra is very nice, though, and hard to pick any fault with it. The Twimber looked the best balance on 4S with slats to me (but I bow to your opinion as I'm only watching video). Love the moon shot (thought it said 'money shot' for a second, lol) and the wrong switch quick recovery.
I will say the GT is a great airplane. That said I'd chose the Twimber just because its different and a bit more capable. You're on to something with the slats. I'm leaving them on for what I like to do best with it, and its still very capable when you push it even with them on. Guys that key on aerobatics most will want them off. Yeah man I saw that moon and got right behind Heidi so I could line it up with her line of sight. Dude...that switch snafu was close!! LOL
Another awesome plane from Horizon, great flights Adam.. I wasn't expecting a twin timber. looks awesome.. So i noticed you never got a totally flat spin out of it didn't look like inverted or upright did you play with moving the packs back to get it more tail CG to get flat? I loved doing a pop top then going straight into a Flat spin with my Timber x's It looks like the new Landing gear are beefed up. I never had a ton of issues with mine on the X's but seems like everyone else does. I really glad they keep the colors of the Umx Evo.
It is Chris! Really a great plane! It will flatten out a bit better if you stay tight and on the throttle out of a blender. It won't go totally flat normally, but close. We had the battery all the way back.
Adam awesome as always. I already have mine on pre order. Off topic tho. What camara are you using. I love the clarity. I've been looking for a decent camara to record my flights.😊
@Model AV8R odd they did a uodat3 on moving the ESC forward the evo. Figured you would have heard of that. I added a scoop to the bottom.and placed th3 esc over it. Thanks for the info though.
Appreciate the video and all of the hard work and information! Question: I fly a few of the little 400mm mini war planes (+ FPV quads) - would this be a reasonable first "real" plane given that level of skill? Thanks!
Thanks! So, I'm not sure what 400mm warbirds you're talking about? I don't want to advise you wrong. If you have a grasp on planes with full 3 axis control...that are not in some kind of self - leveling mode, and are pretty competent with them, then yes this should be in your wheelhouse.
Glad you found us! Welcome. Yes you can, but if you bind it with SAFE you wouldn't be able to mix in full span ailerons or use thrust reverse. If you bind it with AS3X only you could do one of the other two but not both.
This is pretty cool. The price its at for BNF although not cheap, I thought it'd be in the 400's for sure. I might have to preorder this baby before the price goes up.
Or before they sell out. HH told me a couple of hours ago that half the first shipment was already sold. I agree, in today's economy, considering what you get...the price is fair.
@Model AV8R Very true. They def sell out faster nowadays than I've ever seen. Must do smaller orders because I certainly DO NOT see people flying these all over near me. Occasionally, you might catch someone at the park with either a drone or a smaller plane. Rarely do I see anyone. I just wonder where they're all going? 😆 Anyway, excellent content like usual. You always seem to answer every question someone may not have even thought about, or, didn't realize they needed to n know.
I'm flying the Turbo Timber Evolution at this time and would like to get a second airplane. I would like your opinion if you compare the Twin Timber to the Cessna 150T. I know they are in a different size category but advantages for the bigger Cessna that appeal to me are better visibility and i am wondering if it would also be a big difference in stability when flying in the wind ? Also would like your opinion on the power difference between the Twin Timber and the Cessna ?
Hey Patrick. I've owned both and have a lot of time on the 150. The 150 is a good bit bigger, and it is a great example of "bigger flies better". It is smoother, less affected by the wind, and as you say much easier to see with a more substantial presence in the air. The downside is it takes up more room in the hangar, and is harder to transport. That said, it is the easiest to assemble (Field assembly) giant scale plane I've ever owned. Only takes about a minute. Power wise it has plenty, but not as much as the Twimber. They are both fun airplanes and worthy additions to a hangar, but hands down I'd say if you have never had the pleasure of owning a giant scale plane before, you should. You already have a Timber, so I'd advise going for the 150. It will fly fine on a lot of batteries as well, but I think the sweet spot is 6s 5000's or 6000's. You'll get about 8 to 10 minutes of flight time. When they get that big it is just a different experience, and a great one at that.
Thanks very much! Maybe. In the video we show a pic of me holding the regular Timber springs right next to the Twin Timber springs. It looks like the mounting positions are close. That said its worth pointing out that the spring mounting area on the Twin has been beefed up as well. EDIT: Jason from HH said they do not fit the other Timbers, but they are working on something for them.
Hi Adam, another great review . As to the Slats goes. I was thinking of installing them with velco, that way I can have them on and off at will. Do you think that might work? Thanks
@@ModelAV8RChannel - Some way to install and remove slats would be great. Maybe if they made the slat with a plastic strip that slid into a thin slot on the leading edge. Then a couple screws to lock it in.
I couldn't stop smiling during the flights. I just found out about this plane and it looks like a perfect fit for my flying. Frankly I was surprised it's as aerobatic as it is being a high wing, but it looks like inverted flying and even knife edge are no problem. Speaking of knife edge, what is your preferred battery? (considering weight and balance)
Wayne we put every pack we used as far back as we could get it. The sweet spot for us was the 3200 and 3300 4s packs. Best combination of performance and flight time. Very aerobatic, but you have to be hauling to sustain a knife edge because of the differential thrust. It will do it, but not a high beta KE.
Thanks for the quick response. I have a few glow fuel airplanes that I am "reserrecting" from about 10 years ago. But this one's getting ordered this week. Thanks for the links.
Great video as ever Adam. Like you I love practising low and slow bush plane stuff, in particular tight circuits and sideslipped approaches. In this Twin Timber review, I didn't see you testing the plane in sideslips, or knife edge flying it. Do you have any comment on how well it flies those manoeuvres? Also, I have a DX9 transmitter - can the plane be set up out of the box (1) with reverse thrust and (2) ailerons drooping 50% with flaps (ideally with differential being applied when drooped). I can see this plane being a candidate for my next purchase when it becomes available in UK, provided it can be sideslipped well. And if anyone is talking with E-Flite R&D, ask them to think about a model where slats deploy only when flaps are lowered. They could then extend even more into the airflow to maintain unstalled airflow instead of fixed slats that have to use a (poor) compromise position. And if they want to get REALLY whacky, a way to duct propwash into a hollow core in the wing to then blow it out over the ailerons would be really interesting. The leading edge duct opening would only open when flaps were lowered. Oh and make those flaps Fowler flaps. With all that we could have real fun in the STOL envelope.; Keep the great videos coming 👍
Thanks Mike! Yeah we slipped it a bunch (strange I didn't use any of that footage). But yes, anything with a rudder will slip. Knife edge is another story, it won't with the differential thrust working, but you can turn that off through forward programming with the TX. Then it will, but you need a bit of speed. It won't do a slow, high beta KE. With a properly updated DX9, yes, forward programming for AS3X, SAFE, and the ESC works...so yep you can program reverse. You could do the aileron drop mix if you keep then flaps on a Y harness and give the ailerons each a channel. If you want flaps and ailerons all on separate channels you'll need more channels.
@@ModelAV8RChannel Fantastic and thanks for the quick reply. Knife edging isnt a big deal for me and I have the Extra for that anyway, but STOL Sideslipping is so thats great to know. Probably not a great plan lowering ailerons with flaps either but great to get advice on how to. Pleased to see increasing numbers of people are appreciating your thorough and expert videos. Keep 'em coming👍
I've been out the rc world for 8 years, I just got back in last month, bought a carbon cub s2 bnf and picked up a used dxs transmitter. Love the plane but obviously I want to step up already, you think I could get by with a nx8 or do I need the nx10? I'll mostly stick with stol planes like the timbers and cubs bc I fly off grass and occasionally water. My next plane i was considering the timber evolution but now since this released this twin looks awesome and might get this instead.
The NX8 is a great transmitter. That said you can never have "too much transmitter". I use the NX8 for most things, but I have an older DX18 for when I need more channels. It's nice to have options, and with all the features the newest stuff is coming with, you may eventually have a need for more than 8 channels. When it comes to transmitters and chargers I recommend getting as much as you can...you'll always be glad you did. NX10 for the win...
@@ModelAV8RChannel appreciate the quick reply, ill maybe buy a warbird or 2 with retracts, but id like to keep safe, as3x and reverse thrust so that puts me i think at 8 channels. A buddy has a dx9 for sale in great condition and told me it has forward programming, so does that mean I can keep it updated years to come with all the new tech if id consider a dx9?
DX9 is a good TX. I have a DX9 Black as well (I have too many transmitters...lol). It does have forward programming, but the NX series has more capability going forward. If it is possible, it is worth spending the money to get more than you need right now, and know it will be useful to you later. It will be. I see it all the time, and I did this. You get "enough", and a year or so later you're spending the money anyway. Same with chargers.
@@ModelAV8RChannel that makes perfect sense, I switched to drones 8 years ago so I havent really seen the evolution of the rc world but I've seen spektrum releasing tx all the time, ill check out the nx10 then. Love the channel and in dept reviews you do, just subscribed and if I ever have more questions I'll be sure to reach out
do u set aircraft type as 2 flaps and 1 aileron and in channel assign do u put one of the flaps in channel 5 and the other in channel 6 or just leave channel assign alone
@V8RChanneli changed my gear channel to 7 and my 5th 6th channels to the left and right flaps so channel 7 is my gear switch plus i unlocked the rx so if wanted to go with 3 modes i could
Hey Steve, only if I screwed up...lol. It does take a soft touch to do a wheel landing on a hard surface, but three pointers are much easier not to bounce a little bit.
I like them both for different reasons. The Twimber is easy to fly well and the look is different enough to be very interesting. The differential thrust and reverse thrust give it capabilities the Bison can't match. The Bison is more of a challenge to fly well ...especially slow, and very good rudder skills are a must to get the most out of it. I like that. The challenge will make a better pilot out of anyone who has the patience to stick with it. Basically, the Twimber is easier to fly, and is a more laid back experience. It has some features that require a bit more skill to master, but you don't have to use those to fly it well. The Bison is more demanding, and for a less skilled pilot probably a bit nerve racking. When flown well by a higher skill pilot, it is a capable, fun plane. Both are worth owning honestly, but for different reasons. Hope that helps!

Thanks Brad for the kind words my friend! The Timber line is a winner, they are all good, but I really love the twin! Thanks very much for using our link, we appreciate it!
@@ModelAV8RChannel ❤️
I have a Bush Mule and a Grand Tundra so won't be getting one of these. BUT this looks like it has the Bush Mule licked! Much better gear and wiring made so easy (I had to spend some time on mine converting to a single plug), non-exploding props and decent wheels are just 3 examples I noted. The Grand Tundra is very nice, though, and hard to pick any fault with it. The Twimber looked the best balance on 4S with slats to me (but I bow to your opinion as I'm only watching video). Love the moon shot (thought it said 'money shot' for a second, lol) and the wrong switch quick recovery.
I will say the GT is a great airplane. That said I'd chose the Twimber just because its different and a bit more capable. You're on to something with the slats. I'm leaving them on for what I like to do best with it, and its still very capable when you push it even with them on. Guys that key on aerobatics most will want them off. Yeah man I saw that moon and got right behind Heidi so I could line it up with her line of sight. Dude...that switch snafu was close!! LOL
@@ModelAV8RChannel I would love to see a comparison video/your thoughts between this Twin Timber and the Bush mule if you are able too.
@@FlailinMonkey I've flown a Bush Mule, very nice airplane, but the Twimber is on another level to be fair.
that thing is so cool!
It is!
Question: Adam, when you set the plane up as you mentioned to do the full span ailerons, do you also lose Safe and AS3X on any surface?
You don't, but the ailerons only correct on the outboard ailerons (not the flaps). Works out fine.
Another awesome plane from Horizon, great flights Adam.. I wasn't expecting a twin timber. looks awesome.. So i noticed you never got a totally flat spin out of it didn't look like inverted or upright did you play with moving the packs back to get it more tail CG to get flat? I loved doing a pop top then going straight into a Flat spin with my Timber x's It looks like the new Landing gear are beefed up. I never had a ton of issues with mine on the X's but seems like everyone else does. I really glad they keep the colors of the Umx Evo.
It is Chris! Really a great plane! It will flatten out a bit better if you stay tight and on the throttle out of a blender. It won't go totally flat normally, but close. We had the battery all the way back.
I have alot of rc planes. I LOVE IT!
Me too!
Adam awesome as always. I already have mine on pre order. Off topic tho. What camara are you using. I love the clarity. I've been looking for a decent camara to record my flights.😊
Thank you John! Heidi uses a Canon M50.
I'm headed to work and couldn't watch the part review. Did they fix the overheating ESC problem the timber evolution has???😊
Kyle it is a completely different Dual ESC. That said I've never had an issue with the EVO overheating either...
@Model AV8R odd they did a uodat3 on moving the ESC forward the evo. Figured you would have heard of that. I added a scoop to the bottom.and placed th3 esc over it. Thanks for the info though.
Suggest trying the Smart G2 4S 4000mAh pack on this plane. How will you think it will do on that setup?
It should be fine depending on how you want to fly it. My personal preference is to use lighter 2700 and 3200 packs.
Appreciate the video and all of the hard work and information!
Question: I fly a few of the little 400mm mini war planes (+ FPV quads) - would this be a reasonable first "real" plane given that level of skill?
Thanks!
Thanks! So, I'm not sure what 400mm warbirds you're talking about? I don't want to advise you wrong. If you have a grasp on planes with full 3 axis control...that are not in some kind of self - leveling mode, and are pretty competent with them, then yes this should be in your wheelhouse.
Just found your great channel. Can you use a DX6i transmitter with a twin timber.
Glad you found us! Welcome. Yes you can, but if you bind it with SAFE you wouldn't be able to mix in full span ailerons or use thrust reverse. If you bind it with AS3X only you could do one of the other two but not both.
This is pretty cool.
The price its at for BNF although not cheap, I thought it'd be in the 400's for sure. I might have to preorder this baby before the price goes up.
Or before they sell out. HH told me a couple of hours ago that half the first shipment was already sold. I agree, in today's economy, considering what you get...the price is fair.
@Model AV8R Very true.
They def sell out faster nowadays than I've ever seen.
Must do smaller orders because I certainly DO NOT see people flying these all over near me.
Occasionally, you might catch someone at the park with either a drone or a smaller plane.
Rarely do I see anyone.
I just wonder where they're all going? 😆
Anyway, excellent content like usual.
You always seem to answer every question someone may not have even thought about, or, didn't realize they needed to n know.
Thanks man...really appreciate that!

I'm flying the Turbo Timber Evolution at this time and would like to get a second airplane. I would like your opinion if you compare the Twin Timber to the Cessna 150T. I know they are in a different size category but advantages for the bigger Cessna that appeal to me are better visibility and i am wondering if it would also be a big difference in stability when flying in the wind ? Also would like your opinion on the power difference between the Twin Timber and the Cessna ?
Hey Patrick. I've owned both and have a lot of time on the 150. The 150 is a good bit bigger, and it is a great example of "bigger flies better". It is smoother, less affected by the wind, and as you say much easier to see with a more substantial presence in the air. The downside is it takes up more room in the hangar, and is harder to transport. That said, it is the easiest to assemble (Field assembly) giant scale plane I've ever owned. Only takes about a minute. Power wise it has plenty, but not as much as the Twimber.
They are both fun airplanes and worthy additions to a hangar, but hands down I'd say if you have never had the pleasure of owning a giant scale plane before, you should. You already have a Timber, so I'd advise going for the 150. It will fly fine on a lot of batteries as well, but I think the sweet spot is 6s 5000's or 6000's. You'll get about 8 to 10 minutes of flight time. When they get that big it is just a different experience, and a great one at that.
Outstanding video Adam!! Do you think the new landing gear springs will fit the regular timbers?
Thanks very much! Maybe. In the video we show a pic of me holding the regular Timber springs right next to the Twin Timber springs. It looks like the mounting positions are close. That said its worth pointing out that the spring mounting area on the Twin has been beefed up as well.
EDIT: Jason from HH said they do not fit the other Timbers, but they are working on something for them.
Best Timber yet 👊👊👊👊😊😊
I agree Roland. My favorite for sure.
Man…how do you keep finding air planes to match your shirts🤣🤣🤣 another excellently done video buddy, thanks for sharing👊🏼👊🏼
Thanks brother! Lol...its all about matching...
Hi Adam, another great review . As to the Slats goes. I was thinking of installing them with velco, that way I can have them on and off at will. Do you think that might work? Thanks
Thank you John! I would think velcro wouldn't hold well enough and would sit them up out of position. Maybe in the future they'll be bolt on.
@@ModelAV8RChannel - Some way to install and remove slats would be great. Maybe if they made the slat with a plastic strip that slid into a thin slot on the leading edge. Then a couple screws to lock it in.
I couldn't stop smiling during the flights. I just found out about this plane and it looks like a perfect fit for my flying. Frankly I was surprised it's as aerobatic as it is being a high wing, but it looks like inverted flying and even knife edge are no problem. Speaking of knife edge, what is your preferred battery? (considering weight and balance)
Wayne we put every pack we used as far back as we could get it. The sweet spot for us was the 3200 and 3300 4s packs. Best combination of performance and flight time. Very aerobatic, but you have to be hauling to sustain a knife edge because of the differential thrust. It will do it, but not a high beta KE.
Thanks for the quick response. I have a few glow fuel airplanes that I am "reserrecting" from about 10 years ago. But this one's getting ordered this week.
Thanks for the links.
@@waynemiller6070 Thank you Wayne, we appreciate you watching and using our links!
Great video as ever Adam. Like you I love practising low and slow bush plane stuff, in particular tight circuits and sideslipped approaches. In this Twin Timber review, I didn't see you testing the plane in sideslips, or knife edge flying it. Do you have any comment on how well it flies those manoeuvres? Also, I have a DX9 transmitter - can the plane be set up out of the box (1) with reverse thrust and (2) ailerons drooping 50% with flaps (ideally with differential being applied when drooped). I can see this plane being a candidate for my next purchase when it becomes available in UK, provided it can be sideslipped well. And if anyone is talking with E-Flite R&D, ask them to think about a model where slats deploy only when flaps are lowered. They could then extend even more into the airflow to maintain unstalled airflow instead of fixed slats that have to use a (poor) compromise position. And if they want to get REALLY whacky, a way to duct propwash into a hollow core in the wing to then blow it out over the ailerons would be really interesting. The leading edge duct opening would only open when flaps were lowered. Oh and make those flaps Fowler flaps. With all that we could have real fun in the STOL envelope.; Keep the great videos coming 👍
Thanks Mike! Yeah we slipped it a bunch (strange I didn't use any of that footage). But yes, anything with a rudder will slip. Knife edge is another story, it won't with the differential thrust working, but you can turn that off through forward programming with the TX. Then it will, but you need a bit of speed. It won't do a slow, high beta KE. With a properly updated DX9, yes, forward programming for AS3X, SAFE, and the ESC works...so yep you can program reverse. You could do the aileron drop mix if you keep then flaps on a Y harness and give the ailerons each a channel. If you want flaps and ailerons all on separate channels you'll need more channels.
@@ModelAV8RChannel Fantastic and thanks for the quick reply. Knife edging isnt a big deal for me and I have the Extra for that anyway, but STOL Sideslipping is so thats great to know. Probably not a great plan lowering ailerons with flaps either but great to get advice on how to. Pleased to see increasing numbers of people are appreciating your thorough and expert videos. Keep 'em coming👍
Thanks man!
I've been out the rc world for 8 years, I just got back in last month, bought a carbon cub s2 bnf and picked up a used dxs transmitter. Love the plane but obviously I want to step up already, you think I could get by with a nx8 or do I need the nx10? I'll mostly stick with stol planes like the timbers and cubs bc I fly off grass and occasionally water. My next plane i was considering the timber evolution but now since this released this twin looks awesome and might get this instead.
The NX8 is a great transmitter. That said you can never have "too much transmitter". I use the NX8 for most things, but I have an older DX18 for when I need more channels. It's nice to have options, and with all the features the newest stuff is coming with, you may eventually have a need for more than 8 channels. When it comes to transmitters and chargers I recommend getting as much as you can...you'll always be glad you did. NX10 for the win...
@@ModelAV8RChannel appreciate the quick reply, ill maybe buy a warbird or 2 with retracts, but id like to keep safe, as3x and reverse thrust so that puts me i think at 8 channels. A buddy has a dx9 for sale in great condition and told me it has forward programming, so does that mean I can keep it updated years to come with all the new tech if id consider a dx9?
DX9 is a good TX. I have a DX9 Black as well (I have too many transmitters...lol). It does have forward programming, but the NX series has more capability going forward. If it is possible, it is worth spending the money to get more than you need right now, and know it will be useful to you later. It will be. I see it all the time, and I did this. You get "enough", and a year or so later you're spending the money anyway. Same with chargers.
@@ModelAV8RChannel that makes perfect sense, I switched to drones 8 years ago so I havent really seen the evolution of the rc world but I've seen spektrum releasing tx all the time, ill check out the nx10 then. Love the channel and in dept reviews you do, just subscribed and if I ever have more questions I'll be sure to reach out
Thanks man. Don't hesitate to reach out if we can help you!
I like all the extra carbon rods, so I don’t have to add them . Maybe the manufacturer are getting the messages on more carbon rods.
do u set aircraft type as 2 flaps and 1 aileron and in channel assign do u put one of the flaps in channel 5 and the other in channel 6 or just leave channel assign alone
Yep, you have to set the wing type, then remove the Y harness and plug the two flap plugs in the ports assigned by the TX wing configuration.
@V8RChanneli changed my gear channel to 7 and my 5th 6th channels to the left and right flaps so channel 7 is my gear switch plus i unlocked the rx so if wanted to go with 3 modes i could
Adam, did you notice any issues with the Twin Timber bouncing when landing on a hard runway?
Hey Steve, only if I screwed up...lol. It does take a soft touch to do a wheel landing on a hard surface, but three pointers are much easier not to bounce a little bit.
Thank you.
Will those wings fit on the timber evo fuse so we can have a triple engine timber?
Ha! No they won't, but that would be cool...
Hey Adam how does this guy compare to the bison ?
I like them both for different reasons. The Twimber is easy to fly well and the look is different enough to be very interesting. The differential thrust and reverse thrust give it capabilities the Bison can't match.
The Bison is more of a challenge to fly well ...especially slow, and very good rudder skills are a must to get the most out of it. I like that. The challenge will make a better pilot out of anyone who has the patience to stick with it.
Basically, the Twimber is easier to fly, and is a more laid back experience. It has some features that require a bit more skill to master, but you don't have to use those to fly it well. The Bison is more demanding, and for a less skilled pilot probably a bit nerve racking. When flown well by a higher skill pilot, it is a capable, fun plane. Both are worth owning honestly, but for different reasons. Hope that helps!
@ModelAV8RChannel yea thx my next thing is taking slats off will be more my flying style I believe
@@KennethWhiteakaruckusbringa That will definitely make it easier to fly slow.
Which do you prefer between this one and the Beechcraft?
The Beech to me is the prettiest twin out there, but less capable than the Twimber. Really different genres.
What kind of material is it made out of
EPO foam
Too bad they never put pin hinges I'm all the control surfaces
If you could only own one bush plane.... ?
In foam? V2 Carbon Z Cub.
@@ModelAV8RChannel oh wow, she’s a big girl! Thanks!
She is, but man she flies SO good!
