Great plane! Okay Using a Radiomaster transmitter
When you buy a Eflite plane you are buy up to a good standard. The optional leading edge slats come with the plane and I did install them. The plane comes assembled (other than the optional slats). Radiomaster transmitter: no bind plug needed. Safe or safe off should programmed on channel 5. (Actually it's Safe on and AS3X on). I used a slider for the flaps and mixed-in 35% down elevator for full flaps. Don't think I will be using any more than 50% flaps. I have already maidened the plane (flying great with some minor trim adjustments needed). Mechanically adjusted the elevator for 1mm down elevator a little bit more than a eyeball level when looking at the elevator surface. Binding was a snap: DMX and then set to auto before binding (on the radiomaster). Bought two 300mah batteries and get about 6minutes flight time I got the lipo battery that has the balance plug, Eflite ph2.0 connector and also has a jst plug as well (this makes it a little bit more versatile). Ordered a 450mah to test flight times: this is a very light plane, so every gram you add weighs down the plane, and produces less flight time.. so be careful of this tradeoff! As always center of gravity is extremely important so balance you plane with battery positioning!!!PS: loving this plane (it's my second plane (first was an Eflite Apprentice). Don't recommend this for your first plane!!!!!!

Great RC plane for advanced beginner to intermediate to expert pilots
After 2 months: Like the plane better and better. I am an advanced beginner and can only fly the plane in very low wind and large open spaces. I've flown the plane about 6 times with about 50 landings with no significant crashes or damage. I have to use full stabilization but hope to fly without it soon. My son is an intermediate expert and flew the plane withouth stabilization and did amazing aerobatics including hovering and inverted flight in my 50 foot backyard and in and around nearby bushes without significant crashes or damage. My only complaint is that the plane should be more durable. That is generally true of almost all RC planes and is not specific to this model.After 1 week: Well designed durable plane. Less than 130 grams and high thrust lets intermediate to advanced pilots fly it in small parks or indoors in gyms, or maybe even in a large living room. Turning on safe select automatically levels plane after a maneuver, so advanced beginners can fly it in medium sized parks with no wind conditions. Plane is very light so winds over about 2-4 MPH require more skill. Plane cruises nicely at lowest power settings. High thrust enables vertical climb and 3D aerobatics for more advanced pilots.

Not a beginner plane like the box says BUT not very difficult to fly!
This is truly the perfect second RC airplane! If you can takeoff and land with your trainer then you are ready for this plane. You'll really enjoy the flops and the low speeds. The STOL is amazing! 8-12' of dirt to get airborne is all that's needed. Stay in SAFE mode a while and flip it off, practice and if you get into trouble flip it back on or hit the panic button. It's a very well made plane with all the whistles! With a spectrum transmitter you can read battery life while flying. This is a great little plane! Don't fly when there's more than 5knots of wind when learning

Best easiest plane to fly
Buy it. Dont listen to the reviews saying its weak or poor quality. I have helicopters, planes, etc, and this plane is easy to fly, has cool lights, and flies and lands so easily. The landing gear has alot of cushion, so when you land it, it does NOT bounce. It makes me look like a pro every time. It just sucks up the landing and stick it. Multiple flights so far, and it can also handle decent wind and I'm not that great at flying. Plus the stabilizing system makes every movement smoothe.

twice damaged, incredibly fragile
I have been flying for a while and this is my 3rd plane. I normally build flite test models and fly fpv quads but I thought I'd pick up this plane to try out. Both damaged out of the box, and in handling them I can see why. As another review mentioned (and what the youtubers don't tell you) is that they are made of ridiculously fragile foam, while lightweight means if you don't keep this in a box at all times it's definitely going to get damaged.I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, and other brand planes I've flown from overseas vendors (volantex particularly) are way more durable even if the electronics are more questionable.

SO MUCH FUN!
Although I'm not a "beginner" I had been out of the hobby for a number of years. Due to not having the time or huge space to setup a full size nitro plane I wanted a small electric plane to fly in front of my house after the kids go to bed. This thing charges up in about 25 minutes and I can have it up and flying in absolutely no time at all if I notice the wind is down and I have a few minutes. I was able to pick this plane up and fly it right away with no problems. It's relatively calm especially with the factory set servo linkage settings. Throw in a little expo and its as tame as any other high wing plane. After about 20 flights I maxed out the throws and the plane has come alive! Knife edge, quick rolls, inverted, hovering you name it this plane can do it! I would absolutely recommend anyone this plane. Enjoy

wasted on first flight
I am so angry right now. 250 bucks and now its useless after the first flight. It was not my first plane. I have mastered the p51 400mm from Amazon, and it flies like a dream. I took the time to make sure all the controls were set up correctly. I got the Spektrum dx6 transmitter. Took it out with max gusts of 10km/h. The rudder stuck right after take off and it crashed after 3-4 seconds. Readjusted and trimmed everything again. This time it crashed in 2-3 seconds and fractured the foam to an unfixable state in multiple pieces on a grassy ballfield. How can Eflite get away with such brittle foam?? In my learning stages I literally flew the Volantexrc mustang p51 into a metal football goal post - popped back on the propeller and away she went again. I feel like I have been robbed of a substantial chunk of money. Do not buy.

UMX Turbo-Timber, das Spaßmodell
Betreibe die Turbo Timber mit einer mc20 Hott mit Spektrum-Modul, macht viel Spaß mit dem Modell zu fliegen, auch bei mäßigem Wind. Habe allerdings die Servoeinstellungen aus der Anleitung nicht wie dort angegeben übernommen, sondern selbst erflogen.
