The E-Flite Timber is one of the world's most popular RC aircraft. It is a bit like the Cessna 172 in the full-scale world in that respect. While popular, like the 172, it has its issues.

In this video I go over what I learned in my 3 summers of flying the Turbo Timber, the original and the Evolution. I really like this airplane and want to offer some solutions I have found for its weak areas. I had to leave out many details or this video would have been hours long. See the links for additional information I have vetted for accuracy.

The video is also divided into chapters so that you can look for solutions you are interested in viewing and skip the rest. Keep in mind though that you may not have seen some of these issues and those could happen with your Timber.
