Let me know if you would like me to review the new E-flite UMX Twin Otter on this channel.

This is how Hobbyking describes this plane UMX Micro Tundra:

First, we had the Tundra which took the modeling world by storm, then because "bigger is better" this was followed by the Grand Tundra which also proved to be immensely popular. Now we have "small is beautiful" and as quoted by Ernst F. Schumacher, "It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction". The petite Micro Tundra, its small size makes it great for "Back Yard Bush Flying".

The Micro Tundra is available in 2 color schemes, either the "Classic Green" or the slightly more outrageous and colorful "Graffiti". Both look great on the ground and in the air and can be flown with either a standard wheeled U/C or with floats and water rudder, both versions are supplied in the box.

The Micro Tundra comes in the usual Durafy Plug N Fly format so it has the motor, ESC, and 6 micro servo's pre-installed, these also include pre-fitted pushrods. You will require either a 5/6ch micro receiver with Molex 1.25 connectors or a 5/6ch micro receiver with standard JR type connectors and then use the supplied adaptors. The Micro Tundra has working flaps which are unusual for such a small model, they are really helpful and great fun for landing in tight places. The large main wheels finish off the Tundra look and enable it to easily take off and land on most surfaces. Swap the wheels for the supplied floats and the tailwheel for the water rudder and ponds, streams and other small waterways become your playground.

Assembly is very straightforward and quick, literally, 5 self-tapping screws hold it together so you can be flying within minutes of opening the box. The Micro Tundra is great fun to fly and being small and agile can be flown in very small areas including indoor venues. It is perfect to sit on the rear parcel shelf of your car and be ready to fly just about anywhere. For those with a bit of initiative, it is small enough to almost hide away from the wife in the holiday suitcase!

This is how Horizon Hobby describes the E-flite Turbo Timber Ultra Micro RC Bush Plane:

"The E-flite UMX Turbo Timber updates the original Timber with new features and more power - resulting in extreme aerobatic performance and incredible STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) capability in addition to legendary fly-anywhere versatility.

Scaled down from the legendary E-flite Timber 1.5m, the E-flite UMX Timber was the iconic ultra micro model best-equipped for exciting STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) adventures and beyond…until now. The UMX Turbo Timber updates the original design with a modern turboprop-styled nose and 3-blade propeller, plus a higher-power 3400Kv brushless motor. When using the same 2S 280mAh batteries, this Turbo version provides even better STOL performance with shorter takeoffs and faster climbs. You'll also enjoy extreme aerobatic capabilities and have the power to hover, then climb out vertically. In the hands of experienced pilots, the UMX Turbo Timber can be flown in more places — even off of water with the optional floats (sold separately) — and in smaller spaces. Plus its high-wing configuration and exclusive optional-use SAFE® Select technology provide plenty of stability to make the UMX Turbo Timber a great choice if you've mastered flying at least one model before. This makes it a model that pretty much every pilot, from low-time to long-time experienced alike, should own because everyone will enjoy flying it!"
