Here are my review notes after John and I took our Timbers out for some flight testing:
Pros:
- The Timber UMX handles wind very well
- There is plenty of power for all kinds of flying
- It is easy to fly, beginner friendly in SAFE mode provided they fly in a wide open space because it takes a while to maneuver in that mode.
- The Tundra Tires look cool and allow it to take-off from and land on a variety of surfaces.
- It accommodates floats
- The lights are really cool for something at this price point and it has more lights than the E-flite UMX Cirrus
- This is the 2nd best E-flite UMX RC Plane, right behind the E-flite UMX PItts, not to be mistaken by the new 850 sized E-flite Pitts
Cons:
- It does not taxi well
- The stickers were not properly applied
- The manual did not have complete instructions for SAFE or flaps.
- The flaps were off out of the box

I also need to say that I Hobby King is missing out on making something like this with their Durafly Tundra.
This is who Horizon Hobby describes this RC Bush Plane:
"About the only thing that can top an airplane you can fly just about anywhere is an airplane small enough to fly everywhere else. With the E-flite® UMX™ Timber™ airplane, small spaces, indoors and out, is flying country you can conquer. Like its larger brother, Short Take Off and Landing (STOL) is a specialty of this Ultra Micro offering versatile performance that harnesses both friendly flying characteristics and an abundance of power. Right out of the box, the fully-assembled UMX Timber comes complete with functional Flaps and oversized Bush Wheels. Combined with light wing loading and brushless motor power, getting out and back into tight spaces is possible. Installation of the included leading edge slats means you can land even slower and takeoff in shorter distances. AS3X technology with optional SAFE Select mode means you get the ultimate in control performance no matter when you choose to fly, even if it's a bit windy. Plus the brilliant LED lighting adds a special touch of realism and the ability to buzz the bush after sundown. And, if you want to fly from pools and ponds, all that's needed is the addition of the E-flite UMX float set that takes only minutes to install.
STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) Capabilities and an Abundance of Power with this Baby Timber.
The UMX Timber wing is designed with STOL features like wing-tip droops, enlarged functional flaps and optional-use leading edge slats. These, along with the model's lightweight construction and powerful 3000Kv brushless motor, allow it to spring into the air or float down and land in less space than any other model in its class.
AS3X® Receiver with Optional SAFE® Select Flight Mode
The model's AS3X (Artificial Stabilization - 3-aXis) receiver works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence so you enjoy a sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying a larger, expertly tuned aircraft. If you're new to flying UMX models or want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can activate the optional SAFE Select flight mode.
Brilliant LED Light System
Right out of the box, the UMX Timber airplane comes equipped with realistic-looking NAV lights, landing lights, wing-tip strobes and beacons, all factory-installed and powered off the flight battery.
Fully-Assembled and Bind-N-Fly or BNF Ready"
After rewatching this flight, I am even more excited about the just released the E-flite Turbo Timber 1.5m BNF Basic that just came out right after they announced the E-flite Timber X.
Also look for the second flight with my E-flite Su-30 Twin 70mm EDF Jet and Unboxings of the E-flite UMX Ultrix BNF Basic (EFLU6450) & E-flite UMX Turbo Timber BNF Basic (EFLU6950) coming soon!
