The Best Beginner DIY RC Airplane

This is a 60" (1.5m) foam built Timber. I was inspired to recreate the Timber from foam in a large scale. This plane flies so well, its so stable and handled huge gusts and lots of wind on its maiden. The UMX Timber is the best beginner plane, and is a plane I have had for years - it's my go-to. Now, this large foam Timber is my go-to and I would say its as reliable and would be awesome for a beginner as well!! Thanks to Jeff from Las Vegas Flying Club for flying it with me on the maiden flight.
