RC Smart Plane E-flite Night Timber X - 1.2M STOL 3D Airplane w/ LED Lights! - TheRcSaylors

I have a Knight Radian.

I don't understand... The Timber X has lights too.... the only thing that's different is the name and the color. And of course the receiver...

Hi, could you guys suggest any bi-planes that are beginner friendly?

Hi guys,follow you a lot,my question is I want to buy an X,maybe turbo,my problem is I have 3 Zop 4s 3500 new packs,if they will fit I'm going to purchase a plane,lol.Can you give me physical demensions of battery compartment to see if they will fit? Even if I have to trim slightly,lol.Thanks much,Rick

Hi Nate and Abby, first of all, great channel love the all the information you provide! I purchased the Carbon Cub S+ as my first because of the video you made. Anyway I really like the Night Timber X, but first I need to get another transmitter. I see you are using the spectrum DX8, is that the one you recommend for this plane, or can I use the dx6? I only have the one that came with my Cub. So I would need to purchase another one. Thanks for all you guys do!

It's truly a awesome plane. I didn't care for it when it first came out, because they discontinued the Ultimate2 at the same time(love that one), but now I do. The lights and smart are great additions. Nice flying, nice camera work Abby. You and Abby should fly them both at the same time!!?? AirHammer out!!

Big deal.

Nice, like the plane would be a lot of fun and an every day go to plane.

:-)

Very nice plane don't mind giro's but hate safe. Would rather a buddy box. Safe programs novice pilots into so many bad habits to start (i'm a club instructor). If they stay on it to long they end up thrashing about on the sticks in normal (proper) mode .Although does it allows novices to fly ish but it will never let them perform a victory roll but at least it safe. Plane looks cool in night livery thought

Well Imwas forced to order one. My first “real” plane. Thanks for all of your videos and imput !

New to RC Planes, and really enjoying this channel! Will this plane bind to a Taranis transmitter? I'm assuming I just won't get the added benefit of safe flight?

All your affiliate links don't work with my VPN, so I get denied dns or something.

I've flown the timber X with 1300 mah 4S and 3200 mah 4S. It doesn't matter, I bet it would fly fine with 1000mah. It flies great at all battery weights.

New sub here, excellent video, my mouth is watering, I ordered one of these, it will be here Monday! My first airplane, coming from drones and cars. I definitely intend on installing the slats, Im very excited about the low speed capabilities of this airplane. Im torn on starting with 3S or 4S, I have both, but Im concerned about getting in over my head with the 4S. I havent been this excited about something in a loooooonnnnnnggggg time. Maybe back to my first car, an Associated RC12E, I raced at a place called Rattys Raceway in N.Attleboro MA. Its long gone now, Im talking late seventies! Thanks guys, great channel, great review!

I just got mine!! Thank you for the review. Can you give some advice on the placement of the receiver antennas? I found one loose in the fuselage and the other in a protective tube. I just want to make sure there isn’t a specific place/position for the loose one. Thanks for you help.

I have 4 timbers, the timber x, turbo timber 1.5 and both timber umx planes. The timber x was my second plane that ended up being my trainer plane when I started flying last fall and is the best plane I have. It is perfect every time and always a blast to fly. It was easier fir me to learn to fly on the timber x than with my carbon cub with all of its bells and whistles. Abby if you have not flown the timber x you need to, it is so easy to fly, you will enjoy it so much.

Just wanted to say love you guys, and it's nice to see a couple enjoy a hobby together! Been into rc cars for over 30 years, just bought my first house and theres a rc airplane club and field across the road, thinking this planes going to be my 1st....

Thanks for the awesome video. On the XBC100 smart battery tester, when checking smart batteries you do not need to plug in the balance lead on the battery to see the individual cell voltages.

best job ever, work at home with family wake up late all play and no stress

I have a DX6 2gen, i amd new at this and need your help.
a friend of mine wanted to put new planes on my dx6. But he could not do it . so he ask me it he could delet all my planes. I said go on and do it. but he still could not put them on.
I don't know how to do it.
Can you tell me how to do it?????????
Thanks
Rick

Have you flown the E-Flite Maule? How does the Timber compare to the Maule or even the Durafly Tundra V2? I'm looking to make my first purchase on a plane. I'd Like a STOL. Have you looked at the specs for the E-Flite Freedom Fox?

If you had to pick between this plane and the Flex Innovations Extra 300 G2, which would you pick?

I am a new pilot with two planes under my belt, but only about tehn flights. I had a completely unexplained crash with my Carbon Cub S+ yesterday and I want a new plane. (So far, no one on the forums has been able to figure out what happened.) So I am confident enough to fly and land the plane, but that's about it.

I like that the FI 300 has an on/off switch for the lights on the transmitter, and I prefer the looks of the FI 300. But if the FI 300 is a bigger challenge than the Night Timber then I'll go with the Night Timber. I can't afford too many crashes.

What is the best plan for me I have not ever had a rc plan

I had a Carbon Cub S+ which I flew about 6 times before it inexplicably crashed. Horizon Hobby thought it was a problem with the GPS so they agreed to send me a new plane, but this time around I picked the Night Timber X. I have also purchased a Conscendo glider based on your reviews of each plane. But now everyone is telling me I’ve purchased two planes I’ll surely crash. So some questions:

1. I have six Carbon Cub S+ flights under my belt. Do you think I’ll be able to fly this plane in SAFE without much worry?
2. .Someone told me this plane is easier to fly than the Conscendo. Is that true?
3. I don’t mind slowing the plane down with the front slats. Are there other downsides to the slats I should consider?

i have a problem i am new i have been flying the carbon cub s+ now moving up to the Ranger 1800mm i have a DX6E and got everything done except for the high and low rate the book tells me to 16mm but my radio has it into percentage don,t know what to do Please Help never seen a video

E-flite as really taken their planes to a all new level with the safe mode and the GPS fence. Someone like me thats never flown before and pick one up throw it in safe mode and its look mum no hands..hahahaha!
Gone are the days of a beginner's plane being some little rink dink tiny plane. these 1.2mm to 2.0mm planes are perfect for beginners. and depending on where you shop online or off they area very budget minded plane.

I am Beginner eyelid I’m just trying to figure out what kind of plane I need to learn how to fly because on the 51 Mustang I really like that yellow on the plane from horizon third Street what would I look four

I own 1millon square foot mini storage. You wanna rent have from me for a discount to store all your planes? How about "2 for a $1" on ebay😄

Same as the vision aire night

what's better , the TIMBER X 1.2 STOL (a bit of an aerobatic) or this plane ? ALso , what about comparing those 2 to the TIMBER TURBO 1.5 ? I need the best one for the money (i dont' like bottom feeders but maybe these are good enough to overcome )?

@TheRcSaylors, recently came across your channel, great videos thanks for your work! Question, have you ever tested the top speed of the Timber X series planes?

I plan to return to this hobby after 25 yrs. This plane looks like a good start thou its a bit price. Would the Valiant be a better choice?

Hey great vids! There’s Safe and I have a few. But still confused...what does as3x give that safe doesn’t have? Thanks!

Love it. That's the problem I had with my temper is the landing gears seem to break very easily so you have to be very easy on landing the timber. I learned that the hard way. Lol . God bless you guys you guys are great

Hello, What Radio do you use with this plane? Great Video, thanks.

Thoroughly enjoyed this video showing the excitement of flying one of these Timber X 3D planes. The interaction between both people is entertaining and you can feel the emotions they experience while flying the Timber X. I plan on buying the Timber X BNF some time in the near future as I am training with my Apprentice STS and also flying the Timber X on a Buddy Box and Trainer who is allowing me to use his Timber X. Took off and landed the X and am amazed how well it can be controlled by me in Safe Mode. Not attempting any 3D moves yet, of course, but enjoying how comfortable it flys. Short takeoffs are fun and landings are slow and sure. A wonderfully designed foam plane.

I have the NX 8 transmitter with the BNF templates. Does it only have one setting for throws! I thought with the template it was completely set up in the radio already.

I'd love to see a demo of the heavy steel spar in the tail with flaperons on for some awesome 3d flight!

So what is the difference between nx6 and the dx6 which do you prefer and recommend

I just bought this plane, and is a snappy wipper snapper!!! The throw on the control surfaces are impressive, fly with cuation, I actually just used a flysky 6, so there's no safe select on it., The dsx radio has the controls to reduce throw. I actually did a loop and it hit a she'd crashing, it only broke the prop! The plane is beefy!!!! So I went with a 11*7 prop, the original was a 13*4 prop.

If anyone doesn’t have a Night Timber ….you need one!!! Especially someone looking for there 2nd or 3rd plane. This plane makes flying in the later light hours and even at night much easier, and even enjoyable. Even though I can fly in my yard it sometimes is after dark when I get home from work and this plane allows me to fly at any time. Even in pitch black darkness.

Does using a lot of Rudder in a turn cause a stall?

I greatly enjoyed the video and your thoughts are a great addition. The way that you have set up your format draws a person into the excitement that you folks are feeling and makes the time go by quickly. Keep it up!
I’m trying to decide on my first plane and am doing a “run through” of your videos to find the right one and the right transmitter. Very helpful…..

What transmitter should I buy for this knight timber? I really don’t want to throw good money after bad. And Buy a DX and whish I woud have got The NX

love the climbing knight edge lol

Damn I love this plane it’s gonna be my next one ☝️

With a 4S 2200mAh could this plane fly for 10 minuts or more in a scalle flight (no acrobatic)????

Ok, you crashed your Timber X. That worries me, since I was thinking of getting one as my 3rd plane and limited experience. Since someone with your flying experience crashed the plane, I was wondering why. Was it strictly pilot error or a characteristic of the plane. Is it hard to fly.
