      @@FarmerFpvthey are actually two very different planes you know. Funcub is way better for bushflying and flying slow in confined areas. Funcub is great at maneuvering and doing tight turns at slow speeds. The timber struggles with that. But the timber is way better at aerobatics and handling wind. In my opinion.
      And I don’t think the timber is made just for bushflying.

    I love mine. 100's of flights. Had to replace an aileron servo. But, I've been dogging the plane for months. So, I'm not sweating a little maintenance. Just returned home from a trip to the Adirondacks NY. And the Baby Draco was a total sanity saver. Those long days with extended family at a lake seem so much more endurable with Baby Draco breaks. It definitely takes off and lands from beach sand.
    Fun video, fellas. Thanks for your $.02 😊👍

    So while replacing the servos, maybe use individual servos for the flaps, then switch couple them with the ailerons for 3D work. You could probably do some crazy STOL work if you had the ailerons droop with the flaps...

    I have had linear servos fail twice . The umx p-51 voodoo . It was the rudder servo , I landed fine , just no rudder and had to replace it . The second one I had fail was the umx air tractor . It was the elevator servo . It was locked full down and thank god I was flying over a hay field and I hadn’t cut it yet . It tumbled down about 50 foot like a brick and the grass was about 3 foot high and the only damage that was done was a dented spinner. I was lucky it hit just a few feet away from the yard . If it would have been a few feet over , i would have been picking up pieces . It’s still sitting on the table waiting to have a servo replaced .

    Fully agree on the linear servos. I have many of the UMXes and do love them with all of my heart, still, I also had the named lock on TT Evo and fixed this with limiting the max deflection. More annoying though is the jitter that quite some do have on neutral position. A brand new TT Evo had this even out of the box, and of course it wasn’t an aileron! No, it was the integrated rudder servo on the controller board. Who integrates this sensible mechanical piece of h/w into the very expensive controller, with the critical resistive stripe directly sitting on the circuit board - that is what I call bad design. HH should offer an official fix for that and stop newer models from having such boards. I guess though, that too few people are suffering from that or do not complain, so, why should they change the design for something more expensive ?!

    3) horizon makes them very difficult to replace on the reciever, on purpose of course.
