Its been quite a while since I've spent my money on an ultra micro UMX plane. But this one caught my eye, I have a carbon cub, its been my camping plane to leave in the travel trailer and fly off land and water. It did OK, but this plane is 1000x better!

Here you will see the unboxing and what you get, some info, and some awesome flying. I have not installed the slats yet, but I will soon and take it back out to see if I can tell a difference. I plan to install the floats and fly it off water soon too! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss that!

Thanks GBLynden for the video help.

Overview
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 Eflite® 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 ultramicro offering versatile performance that harnesses both friendly flying characteristics and an abundance of power. Right out of the box, the fullyassembled UMX Timber comes complete with functional flaps and oversized 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 Eflite UMX float set that takes only minutes to install.

STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) Capabilities and an Abundance of Power

The UMX Timber wing is designed with STOL features like wingtip droops, enlarged functional flaps and optionaluse 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 3aXis) 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.

Optional SAFE Select Mode Delivers:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits

These keep the aircraft from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles during takeoff and landing.

Automatic SelfLeveling

Instantly returns the wings to level when the sticks are released. It's also helpful when hand launching the airplane.

Simple Setup

Brilliant LED Light System

Right out of the box, the UMX Timber airplane comes equipped with realisticlooking NAV lights, landing lights, wingtip strobes and beacons, all factoryinstalled and powered off the flight battery.
