LEARN To FLY 3D RC Planes

Very impressive man sweet setup

How do you get so good?😭

Rolling Harriers ——-> Goals!

When watching you bottom load it, the way you are holding it the veins on your both your wrists are exposed directly to the propeller, and the model is pointing directly towards you. If it were to start the motor on connection due to a malfunction or mistake with throttle cut you would have a serious problem. There is probably very little starting torque on the motor so it might be possible to rig something up to jam the propeller while loading it which would improve the safety.

Wow Jon, as always your flying is very impressive and a joy to watch. You could fly a piece of wood and a prop and make it look great 😃

I thought we were doing the new umx. Great video all the same. 👋

Nice showmanship at the start there 🤣

Like always some excellent flying Jon. Thanks for sharing all your experience with us

You list three servos that you switch over to for the plane. What locations for three servos? I'm guessing the HS-85 mg is for the rudder?

How do you like this on 3200mah vs 2200mah, I fly this on 2200 and the plane is pretty heavy already is the extra weight noticeable?

Are you flying it with any stabilization?

Great video! Amazing the way you can control the NTX. I have all but given up on mine. I have been bitten so many times by the stall tendencies of this plane due to my lack of ability to not stall the plane or recover from a stall. This is the only plane I have that I crash every time I take it out of SAFE. Still love it though. It looks amazing at night. I just need to fly it to my skill level.

Been waiting for this video for a while, your channel actually first caught my attention with a video of you flying this at the lake, many months ago.
Glad I got a NTX too, you gave the best advice, just practice, and while my skills flying are maybe 1% of yours I'm glad to see I'm not the only one flipping it on landing 😀
Really curious to see what you think of the UMX version, can't wait to get mine.

Great flying as usual Jon! As I watch your fingers, I have to figure you have a fair amount of dual rate and expo built in to your flight configurations. I’m probably stating the obvious. Jim

Jon, your flying is next level. I try to watch your hands on the sticks, but they are way to fast. I would love to see a video with you explaining some of you moves and what your doing with the sticks. Cheers.

I'm intrigued you manage to keep within CG with a 4s 3200mAh battery. With a 4s 2200mAh battery I have it pushed as far back as it will go and I have had to insert the steel rod in the tail to get CG midway along rear window. I'm also struggling with wing-rock despite having your flap/elevator setup. I have leading edge slats fitted. Do you think that's a problem. I have a spare set of wings I might try which don't have slats fitted.

......I had rather hoped your video was going to teach how you got to where you are with your 3D flying 😩

I have the original Timber X green and white, and I use an APC 12x6 slow fly prop, and 4s 2200 60c battery. It makes hovering and other slow maneuver's easier to me anyways. I haven't tried elevator flaps for harrier flying, but I think I'll try that. Thanks Jon for that tip. Oh also I have changed out all the wing servo's to Corona 9g MG Digital, and put smaller main wheels, 3in DU-BRO, and commander aluminum landing gear.

I'd love to see a video of all the setup you did on the Tx with mixes. Or if you could make the Tx file available for download :) Great info and flying!

Jon - excellent video! Question on the B11DLS servos - what horn do you use, since the included ones are shorter than what typically comes on the eFlite planes? I work with AGF on RC car servos and curious to know if you would find it useful to have plastic or very light aluminum arms with 19-20mm radius from center hole to outer-most linkage hole? Thanks, Mike

crazy cool tutorial, timber X is one of my fun to flies you have me wanting to push for more progress.. subscribed with first video! well done 🎉

When doing a flat spin, do you have full span ailerons enabled? For me, it is almost impossible to enter a flat spin without the plane wanting to barrel roll when i copy your stick movements. With full span ailerons off, it is much easier.

On that note, in a future video it would be great to see how to enter a flat spin. Seeing the stick movements is very helpful, but some commentary on how to set up the entrance would be great.

Something else I’d love some commentary on is handling with and without floats. Where do you notice specific differences and how do you handle them?

Finally, these videos are great. Keep doing what you’re doing.

I have a DX6e and just bought a used Night TimberX 1.2 how you have managed to use the full Ailerons and flaps tried to program it cause am using AR6610 RX don't have a manual for that. Please guide???

How do you get the turbo timber evolution to be crazy mine doesn't have enough elevator throws and I can't even fly inverted because the nose just drops but that's where it Flys perfectly upright

She's a fun bird. When I got mine it flew like ass! Took some time to dial it in. Now she's a 3D beast! Sloppy, but still a beast!

So jon, whats the cheapest TX i can get that can do all these custom configs? I have the dx6e right now.

Hey Jon I been trying my hand at 3D and can’t seem to find anything about where best spot to balance this timber at the front 82 or 98 or in middle what’s your opinion? You mention in video don’t get tail heavy for it so wonder where sweet spot is? Mine is level balanced at the 82. Any advice would extremely help me thank you

Try putting full deflection Crowe mixed in with Throttle, so open throttle and Crowe reduces, closed throttle full Crowe. Great for landing. Brilliant for EOLs - flick throttle cut on then use throttle stick to control Crowe as you glide in to a perfect landing.

I've probably said it before. Well done for discounting this silly term 'tip stall'. In >40yrs as a professional aviator I've never heard the term until I connected with this hobby.

This is very cool. I may try this with my timber x

You mentioned that you've custom modified the AS3X. Did this help with getting it to knife edge? I'm getting some serious coupling to the wheels when I put it into a knife edge. been Messing with all my settings/setup to get it to perform these. I can do about everything else, beside Harrier need to try your flap set up to prevent the wing rock. Excited to try that.

very expected, that the accelerated stall is less critical with your snapflap configuration, since it would stall first on the flaps (similar to higher AOA), while the outer part of the wing still 'works' to stabilize the plane

hi timbers are good.

Hi: if I were still into rc or doing things in general, I would go for one of those very tiny timbers of the umx type. But, I don't get into things these days. lol cheers. ie: whenever I get an inkling to get back into soemthing, I just watch a lot of videos of that thing and realize that I really don't have a sustained interest to do any of it. So, videos like these really help. I get over it quickly. lol;

Really enjoy your honest flying and the close camera work with your control inset - some of the best out there. Thanks!

So I am assuming this is your job correct?

What does planes mean 3D ?

Is there any difference between this and the green timber x?? Other than the obvious lights throughout the Night Timber x.

So the question I have is can you reduce the expo to make it fly level, no 3d, or less 3d? Thank you fit your videos, always informative.

Your skills are crazy good! I like that you didn't edit out your mistakes as they do happen even to the best of them like you! ;) Thanks for this clip.

Dont know your mix

How do u practise a 3d flying

Could the timber x be good for bush flying if I used a 3s 1300

Thank you for this fantstic clip

How is the motor battery mounted? Velcro on bottom?

Hello, what battery are you using how many amps?
What you recommend 4s or 3s
Thanks
