  • Yea is heavy but
It's a cool plane, looks great and flies awesome despite being a fatty, it flies just how you see on youtube - just fly it under power, it's an airplane, it needs power! and it's got it with 6s. Parts suck trying to find Right Now so buy your spares on Amazon. Not that I care about Amazon, that's just where they're available. Crashed twice lifting off because of my own fault AND, barely any dings. ( Tire popped initially due to my airfield having pokeys in the grass, had to replace the tire and I didn't tighten the wheel nut enough, so my wheel fell off during take off, then I had a sucky landing straight into a ditch and prop scraping landing on pavement and everything's good looking and functional still) You can store the wing support inside the fuselage And it has a no-mess wing clip system (unlike the Draco) so there's not extra stuff to lose on the way wherever you're going, plus removable battery tray. What's there to cry about I love this plane. my current favorite and I've been flying for 9 months, not sure what the other guy is complaining about but I'm brand new and I love this big dumb yellow brick ... show more

  • Do Not Use 4S Batteries
As I don't do 3D, I used a brand new 4S SMC battery on my first flight. I saw videos of others using 4S batteries. There were light winds. Our club has long paved and grass runways. On approach I was a little hot and long so I tried to do a go around as I have done with other aircraft. There was not enough power, the plane stalled, hit the ground breaking the gear off of the fuselage damaging it. The battery holder broke a tab. The rest of the aircraft including electronics were ok. I just sent it back to Spectrum Service hoping that they will replace the fuselage but I don't know. The outer box was damaged because it was left in the rain...the inner box as well. I had a very difficult time trying to find a box to ship it. The Spectrum customer service guy was not able to help. I had to make a custom box out of 2. I get to FedEx and find out not only do they have a big enough box, but for about 30 dollars they could pack it for me. Since Spectrum uses FedEx, you would think their support team would have known about this but this guy didn't. I did my best to pack the aircraft but I am worried more damage was done in transit. My main point is that this is a heavy aircraft and I think it should always be powered with 6S batteries. I won't know for certain until I get the plane back... if Horizon honors the warranty and helps me out. I will revise my review when I hear from them and if I get to fly it again. Edit: 11/9/2024 I emailed the customer service representative, Scott, the other day. He told me that Horizon is honoring the warranty not by replacing the fuselage which is what I asked for, but by sending me an entirely new aircraft. They were out at the time but I now see that they sent it by FedEx and it is expected to arrive in a few days. While I am obviously very happy about this because it was a brand new aircraft, I do wonder why they didn't just put all the electronics in a new fuselage. My guess is that either they are not available or it was just easier for them to do this. A fuselage is NOT available in the parts list for the Super Timber. Since this happened, I did see a YouTube video of a guy that had a stall crash due to pilot error causing the same damage as I had. He managed to use CA to glue the gear back to the fuselage. Foam is certainly forgiven... Much more so than balsa or composite. My first trainer, the Apprentice has more lives than a cat. It surely doesn't look great anymore. The fuselage was even broken about 2/3 down but still flies very well. Considering what I know now, there are a few points I will make. I'm not by any means an expert, more of an intermediate RC pilot. This is a tail dragger and a heavy aircraft. Horizon doesn't recommend this as a first step up after beginning with a tricycle gear trainer. I would definitely agree with that. Yes, it was designed to be able to run on 4S batteries and I am sure others can be successful doing that. Because of what happened to me, I will always stick to 6S batteries, probably the 5000 mah ones I already purchased. I will put the new one together and hopefully I will get some flying in before it gets really cold and update this again. If you are a pilot with experience, I think you will have a lot of fun with this aircraft. The gear assembly is sturdy but obviously in my situation the stall was such that though not high off the ground, the force was sufficient to separate the gear from the fuselage. I will be doing a lot more practice with the Sim. Kudos to Horizon Service for giving me a new aircraft. I am giving it 4 stars only because of my concern about the design of the gear. It might be unfair of me, that it is the pilot's responsibility to never crash rather than question the design of the plane. You will have to be the judge of that. Unfortunately, crashing is part of the Hobby! ... show more

  • This Thing is an Absolute BLAST!
If you're thinking about getting the Super Timber... stop thinking and just do it. Seriously. This thing is pure FUN. Right out of the box, it looks awesome. Setup took like 10 minutes, mostly on the landing gear assembly. Got to flying real quick, It can cruise around super slow, and float forever with slats and flaps. I'm flying it on a 6S - 5000mAh battery most of the time and it has TONS of power for loops, rolls, you name it. Last about 12 minutes. Or 8 minutes if I'm leaning on the throttle. Bottom line: if you want a plane that’s easy, tough, and crazy fun, the Super Timber delivers big time. Buy it. Fly it. Grin like an idiot. Repeat. ... show more

  • Great plane if you know what you’re doing!
This plane is fantastic! It flies well and it is a heavier model with the 6 cell battery. Definitely not for beginners! Glad I went with it.

  • This plane does not fly slow and it is not a stolplane
It says this plane flies slow and a stol plane. everything from slow and easy cruising to sport and all-out aerobatic flying – along with the incredible STOL capabilities this is not true I have been in the RC for 22 years I would not recommend this plane to anybody this is a very heavy plane it flies but this plane stalls very easily with the flaps on or off it does not matter you can tell it is a very heavy plane when you are flying it some of the maneuvers you see these things do on YouTube they must have did a different setup because this plane does not act like it does on YouTube I would not recommend buying this plane unless if you like heavy planes that fly not too easy ... show more

  • Dont Buy Floats!! Not A Float Plane
I bought this with the idea of buying the Elfite floats with it to make it a float plane. The plane even comes with hardware to install the floats and make it so you can move the rudder on the floats. This was not a good setup at all. It is a metal cable that runs down the side of the plane from the air rudder to the water rudder and because it is a cable, it can pull but not be pushed back in. This makes it to where you can only turn left in the water because when you try and turn right, the cable is just pushed and crinkles on itself and doesn't push the rudder. I've seen people ghetto rig it and make it kinda work but its just not work that price to me if I have to ghetto rig something to make it work on the water. I ended up buying a twin otter for float flying and also I cant return this plane because I put reverse thrust on it and I guess that torqued the prop onto the plane so tight that I cant get the prop unless I hurt the plane by twisting so hard. Moral of the story, Its a cool STOL plane, it is a bit heavy but I like heavy plane for the realism aspect but if you don't land right you can hit pretty hard. It does take off and can land in a short area and can be flown in different places than just a airfield which is cool. Its a cool plane just don't get floats or you will be disappointed. ... show more
