Now that hurts, I even felt the "oh wt******" Sorry about that my friend. This morning at the flying field we had one plane that just lost its ailerons, and I do mean lost them. They came off mid-flight. Those things can do what they do and that’s sucks.

It is what it is indeed my friend, have a blessed day😎🇺🇸

Part of the hobby. I would always fly my planes until they eventually crashed. Not usually on the same day as its maiden flight. I will google twin timber. Looks like a nice plane.

I know this is not much consolation but I'd rather crash then have a model fly away on me never to be seen again. Ask me how I know. :>)

Reckum Roy Knows that impact sound 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸 Sorry to see such a great plane crash. Better luck next bird.

Pretty much same result for my Twimber on 12th flight. All electronics were still functioning, but the elevator servo horn snapped. Elevator started acting weak just after takeoff, tried to make a 180 to get back over our field. Got about 120° before i ran out of airspace. Excellent flying plane until it wasn't. The differential thrust made crosswind landings a little odd. Was sad to lose mine. Thanks for sharing!

Interested in what caused this. The stock servo horns look pretty beefy to me on these.

Happened to me as well, lost elivator control but did have a warning something was wrong. It needed lots of up trim on that flight so I tried to land asp but did not make it back and crashed not as bad as yours. I found the elivator servo cam e unglued so I checked the rudder servo and it basicley popped out with very little pressure. Glue was stuck to servo but none on the foam at all. 7 flights on a $600.00(canadian $) plane thank you Horizon

Sorry to see anyone's model get wrecked... but that was something else! Like you say, that's the hobby. I'd rebuild it and fly the goo out of it, but I understand the desire to just walk away.

For me such lock up has been once a bad soldering I made myself that got loose during flight, and twice a servo stall, that made the ESC overheat.

There is no doubt that this "TWIMBER" is an excellent Model Airplane, as is the case with virtually all E-Flite items, especially the TIMBER "series". But.... THE "SERVOS" IN GENERAL - ARE REALLY A BIG "CRAP" 🥵, WHICH IS VERY STRANGE BECAUSE THE "E-Flite" IS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE BRAND IN THE MARKET. On my 1st flight with my Twin Timber two weeks ago I had a lot of difficulties with the control of the plane regarding the "Rudder" where I had to trim it constantly and finally had to make an emergency landing. I inspected it right away and... voila, the Rudder Servo WAS COOL AND THEREFORE LOOSE IN ITS FIXING!!! On Flight 2, this past weekend, more difficulties controlling the "TWIN" and again an Emergency Landing. Right Aileron SERVO JUST "BURNED"!!!! So Dear Friends, SOLUTION??? TRASH with the Original and NEW BEST QUALITY Servos!!!! Obs. - In my "DRACO" I had to do the same and for the same reasons.JUST LOOSE, COOL IN ITS PLACE!!

It made a awesome impact noise. I've heard that before 😊

Sorry to hear that bronco, you may be onto somthing!

In all honesty I've seen the twin timber in person and it didn't really wow me enough to go out and buy one. Recently I lost the elevator servo (plane was less than a year old) on a Commander 1.4 MPD. I was able to get it around and almost made it to the runway, I landed it on the gear down the hill out of sight slow and what I thought was easy but when I got to the plane the fuselage and one of the wings were both busted beyond repair. I did however buy another one to replace it as it's such a good flyer and I really enjoy it. Got lots of parts for it too! ;) Sorry for your loss and that it happened. I've had a cherokee 1.3 and an apprentice lock aileron servos and crash in similar fashion. As you have said unfortunately it's part of the hobby, a sad and slightly expensive part though :( Shake it off, grab another plane and send it!!! :)

Sorry you lost your plane. I didn't watch the whole video but heard you say you lost communication with the plane. If that is the case, i would urge you to setup a failsafe on your receiver that will/can/should prevent a straight down nose dive. I noticed a SAFE decal on the wing. In case you may not be aware...you can program you receiver to switch to safe mode in case of loss of signal. It will not stop a crash but it will greatly minimize the damage by getting the plane in a wings level attitude, just sayin'. I program my receivers upon signal loss (fail safe) to do left aileron for an average turn, a little up elevator, and zero throttle.

I bet Your elevator servo came unglued, on my third battery with my twin timber mine come off while I was taxing out luckily it wasn’t in flight. On horizons webpage some else also left a review saying that when he did preflight check he noticed that the elevator servo was very loosely attached.

You did have a lot of controls activated and throttle all while in a dive (higher amps ) all simultaneously when the 2 holds occurred. Two separate hold which is why it changed direction briefly before Failsafe-ing again.

Multiple things going on that one could lean on like all that telemetry your running and jamming up the pipeline of communication, but all comes back to poor RF performance mostly caused by the transmitter. There was a time when mfgs would brag about latency right on the box. It's pretty embarrassing now with 2.4 though. A radio master t16s with a crossfire system is a really good option too. I have both. Honestly thinking about converting everything I have to crossfire.

IF the servo burned out it was likely due to how stiff the elevator usually is when the planes arrive new. I'm just trying to give you a fighting chance to find the smaller problems by having good Link. I pop the controls free and check freedom of movement before maiden ..... usually, lol. I have noticed Timbers usually arrive with very stiff elevators caused by the foam in the hinge area. I spend a few mins flexing and repeatedly wiggling the elevator until it breaks in the hinge area and becomes noticeably free-er movement. ....but if you had good link ..... 😜
