Now make a video all the timbers in a contest OG timber, timber x, turbo timber, timber evo, timber 110 35-50cc, timber sws, twin timber, monster timber, UMX timber x, UMX og timber, UMX turbo timber evo, and super timber.
@@FarmerFpvthey are actually two very different planes you know. Funcub is way better for bushflying and flying slow in confined areas. Funcub is great at maneuvering and doing tight turns at slow speeds. The timber struggles with that. But the timber is way better at aerobatics and handling wind. In my opinion. And I don’t think the timber is made just for bushflying.
Bright red is great for the tiny ones, seeing them clearly always helps. White ones make my distance glasses overheat. And thanks for your attitude to linear servos!
I love mine. 100's of flights. Had to replace an aileron servo. But, I've been dogging the plane for months. So, I'm not sweating a little maintenance. Just returned home from a trip to the Adirondacks NY. And the Baby Draco was a total sanity saver. Those long days with extended family at a lake seem so much more endurable with Baby Draco breaks. It definitely takes off and lands from beach sand. Fun video, fellas. Thanks for your $.02 😊👍
Eflite has some crazy price on all there planes ,its still foam and at some point it will desintgrate and your left with some electronics ....anyways awsome video guys
I love mine! A little on the expensive side, but has lots of lights and good scale appearance. I’m not a fan of the linear servos, but over the years have had pretty good luck with them. Had plenty of 9g servos go bad too.
So while replacing the servos, maybe use individual servos for the flaps, then switch couple them with the ailerons for 3D work. You could probably do some crazy STOL work if you had the ailerons droop with the flaps...
You can also use those 4s/300 batteries in all newer umx everything! Try em in the umx evolution, umx concendo! They are BOTH much more aggressively agile flying!😁😁😁😁😁
I think linear servos are great for small 1s planes like the sport cub s and such, but when the planes are so powerful it locks out... I disagree with that choice. Thanks for mentioning street fixes, that might come in handy.
Would love to see a follow up video where you replace some or all of the servos with some 3.7 gram servos. I despise those linear servos. I have replaced both aileron servos in my well-used UMX Timber Turbo Evo, and now the rudder servo is starting to become sluggish when you first power it on (seems to get better with a shot of fader spray). That one is built into the receiver board. The good thing is I have a spare board from an identical plane I crashed early on. I have already cannibalised it for the aileron servos, and I can install the spare receiver board.
I have had linear servos fail twice . The umx p-51 voodoo . It was the rudder servo , I landed fine , just no rudder and had to replace it . The second one I had fail was the umx air tractor . It was the elevator servo . It was locked full down and thank god I was flying over a hay field and I hadn’t cut it yet . It tumbled down about 50 foot like a brick and the grass was about 3 foot high and the only damage that was done was a dented spinner. I was lucky it hit just a few feet away from the yard . If it would have been a few feet over , i would have been picking up pieces . It’s still sitting on the table waiting to have a servo replaced .
I've been replacing the pinion gear's on the umx linear servos with brass gear's and they are far more reliable! Most jams I've seen so far have been a cracked pinion. as for sourcing the pinion gears I've been getting them from dead coreless servos
I have a box of those crap linear servos and im always going thru them looking for a good gear set to replace in my current UMX line up. Wish they could do better on that end.
Very nice plane, I'd love to have one. But 200 bucks buys you only the plane, no transmitter, no battery. Question: Would it bind to the XK X6 transmitter that came with my XK 110S helicopter? Or the SkyFly 6 ch, which I also have?
Fully agree on the linear servos. I have many of the UMXes and do love them with all of my heart, still, I also had the named lock on TT Evo and fixed this with limiting the max deflection. More annoying though is the jitter that quite some do have on neutral position. A brand new TT Evo had this even out of the box, and of course it wasn’t an aileron! No, it was the integrated rudder servo on the controller board. Who integrates this sensible mechanical piece of h/w into the very expensive controller, with the critical resistive stripe directly sitting on the circuit board - that is what I call bad design. HH should offer an official fix for that and stop newer models from having such boards. I guess though, that too few people are suffering from that or do not complain, so, why should they change the design for something more expensive ?!
The only case I'd see where you'd have a 300mah 4s is if you want a really sporty toothpick quadcopter so sporty that you don't even use the usual 450 or 550mah pack
do a review on the XK J3 cub, no liner servos to my knowledge, under $120 surprising scale detail. I only heard about one flaw in which it likes to fall out the sky if you bank a little to much.
You got to lower the elevator travel to 97 …I have more of problem with the servos chattering all the time …just had a brand new apprentice stol and aileron servo running and I’m not even moving it … I sent it back …went thru two in two weeks … HH is lacking in quality lately and I chose a different company to get a plane …crazy how much they charge for a plane then it’s crap
A friend of mine got a new micro Draco from HobbyTown and tried to fly it yesterday. Got ready to try it and the elevator didn’t work and almost burnt up from how hot it felt.
Total noob question: Do most people NOT take chargers to the field? Does everyone charge all their batteries the night before? What if you don't fly? Do you spend the next evening putting a storage charge on? I've been a rubber band guy forever, and these newfangled E-Lectronics have me vexed.
I HATE those micro servos. They make them better, and LIGHTER now. Not some little chip with a brushed motor and railshoot. 1) they are very sensitive 2) they always end up jittering now matter how well you take care of them 3) horizon makes them very difficult to replace on the reciever, on purpose of course.
I can't justify getting one after having the umx timber X and umx p51 voodoo. Umx timber X seems way more responsive. Plus I don't need another battery architecture. At least the 3s 300 is shared between 5 different models
Picked it up on my lunch break 😮 what a beauty 😍 local hobby shop was out of 4s 300s and there seems to be none in Australia atm 😂 i have heaps of 450 3s so will see how they go 😂 thanks for the videos guys🎉
@@TailHeavyProductions I had a umx Evo Timber that locked up an aileron mid flight and crashed. Total loss. They really need to stop making planes with those stupid linear servos
Anyone noticed that RC planes are rising in price much faster than inflation? Horizon is at the forefront of this. I also wonder why people keep buying that Styrofoam garbage; that stuff stopped being innovative after the year 2000.
I can't stand the linear servos. I ripped mine out of my umx timber and threw in some 3.5 gam servos. Got rid of the crappy as3x and it's got all the throw with gobs of power. That's how it should have came from the factory
If anyone has anything bad to say about this video you are crazy. This best review video I have ever seen. I love your videos. It's like a review but how people actually fly planes
Yes! This video sure was worth the wait you guys did a fantastic job on it I would think judging by HH making this slightly bigger then a UMX with the 3s to 4s power option actual real servos with be a no brainer for them right? I really hope that if this new Micro class starts becoming a better seller for them that they would start to listen to people like yourself and many others to 86 those liner servos already.
I crashed beyond repair mine in 5minutes. I have 1year experience on umx turbo timber and bigfoot 1.2m and they both are still in great shape. I dont recommend this draco. too expensive too heavy and too many plastic peices for the average flier.
