First Flight of My UMX Turbo Timber #RCPlane After a Massive Rebuild!
A new flying location, low altitude, and a BIG change—switched to Mode 1 from Mode 2! 😅 I'm a total RC noob, but this little plane handled like a champ after the repair. Foamies FTW!

After just 3.5 months of RC Flying time, here's the Maiden Flight of my  BRAND NEW E-Flite 1.1m Sportix, which was a birthday gift from my lovely wife!  It is an absolute must-have for my growing #hangar. 

After just 3.5 months of flying RC planes, I'm took the leap from STOL trainer to sport plane with the E-flite Sportix 1.1m — a birthday gift from my amazing wife! 💝

This beauty is an absolute must-have for any growing RC hangar, and its maiden flight was a total blast. We had a lot of fun filming this, so we hope you'll enjoy watching it all the way through.

🎮 Flown with: Spektrum TX
🌤️ Calm day, ideal for test flight
🛫 Confidence boost after STOL success

Maiden Flight of My BRAND NEW E-Flite Sportix 1.1m #rcplane – Post-Trainer Upgrade!
I'm getting the hang of this wonderful RC Plane and the proof is in this short video.  That's not to say I'm not crashing anymore ... but I am crashing a whole lot less!

Keep an eye out for my next video, coming soon, flying this amazing little plane.
Smooth Clean flight of my UMX Turbo Timber #rcplane - Still a beginner but learning fast!
This foam RC Plane repair video is after practicing my driveway landings and take-offs. At this point I'd only been flying this beauty for a total of about 2 - 3hrs hours.

The last attempt to take off again after a pretty successful landed resulted in the first major breakage of my brand new toy :-(   

These foam planes are pretty easy to fix and get flying again so if you are a noob like me, don't panic!  Get into it and enjoy your bird - hopefuly your next plane stays crash free and pretty LOL

UMX TIMBER TURBO foam EPO #RCPLANE repair job - my first serious #rcplanecrash broke the nose off
In this video I practice my driveway landings and take-offs and as I'm very new to flying RC Planes it's still a bit of a learning curve for me. 

I've only been flying this beauty for a total of about 2 - 3hrs hours at this point so over the next few minutes in this video you will see me trying to land on quite a tricky strip.  The last attempt resulted in the first major breakage of my brand new toy :-(

UMX Timber Turbo, Driveway Landing and Take Off Practice Session - Beginner #rcplane training!
In this video I practice my grass landings and take-offs and as I'm very new to flying RC Planes it's still a bit of a learning curve for me. 

I've only been flying this beauty for a total of about 1.5 hours so over the next few minutes in this video you will see every landing attempted I made in quick succession.  

Stick around to see how I improve my landing and take-off skills and keep a look out for My Driveway Landing Practice Video which resulted in the first major breakage of my brand new toy :-(

UMX Timber Turbo, Grass Landing and Take Off Practice Session - Beginner #rcplane training!
As a beginner and after only ever flying the Volantex Mini Warbird for a short time, I rather quickly invested in a Spectrum NX8 transmitter and the Umx Timber Turbo Evolution.  These are my very first flights with a real RC Plane and a fancy Transmitter.

This video is a couple of days after my maiden flight of my brand new UMX Turbo Timber Evolution that nearly ended in tears because the wind caught it!

I got it down by turning it off safe mode and pointing it at the ground but it was pretty close to a disaterous maiden.  

Feel free to like and subscribe as I get stuck into this very addictive hobbie!
My First Proper RC Plane is a Umx Timber Turbo Evolution
My new hobbie has spun a little out of control when the maiden flight of my brand new UMX Turbo Timber Evolution nearly ended in tears because the wind caught it once it cleared the shelter of the hedge!

I got it down by turning it off safe mode and pointing it at the ground.  This was my very first flight with a real RC Plane and a fance Transmitter

Keep an eye out for my next video flying this amazing plane, which went pretty well after all the panic.
