Thick
grass, gravel paths, dirt trails- even local lakes and ponds- you can fly off of
these and many other surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size
to handle. The shock-absorbing landing gear is equipped with oversized,
tundra-style wheels that soak up the bumps of rough surfaces and provide
excellent prop clearance. The included float set matches the trim scheme of the
airplane and features dual water rudders for superb steering control. Whichever
gear option you choose to fly with, both are easy to install and can be swapped
out in minutes.
STOL
(Short Take Off and Landing) Capable
The
Turbo Timber's wing is designed with features like drooped wingtips, functional
slotted flaps and to accept optional-use leading edge slats (included) for
improved slow flight and STOL performance. These features, along with the
lightweight design and high-power brushless motor, make it possible to spring
into the air or float down to land in as little as two feet or less.
More
Power
The
factory-installed brushless power system features a 50-amp ESC plus a
specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop that deliver an abundance of thrust with
a 3S LiPo battery, or more power and vertical performance with a 4S battery
without the need for any modifications or upgrades.
More
Durable
Composite-reinforced,
hollow-core construction with EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable
airframe. The Turbo Timber also features a stiffer wing that improves aileron
authority and roll rates, plus it's equipped with more durable and reliable
metal-geared servos all around.
LED
Lights
Like
the original, the Turbo Timber 1.5m comes with realistic-looking LED landing,
navigation and strobe lights that are factory-installed and powered from the
flight battery.
Easy
Assembly
No
glue is required for assembly, and because the few parts that need to be
assembled easily bolt into place, the Turbo Timber can be ready to fly in less
time than it takes to charge the flight battery. The two-piece wing also makes
transport and storage as convenient as possible.
Bind-N-Fly
Completion Level Advantage
Already
own a Spektrum¢â transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air
quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They
come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver
installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible
transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
This
Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX¢ç receiver
featuring AS3X (Artificial Stabilization- 3-aXis) technology that works behind
the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence so you enjoy a sense
of stability and precision that makes it feel like you're flying a much larger,
expertly tuned aircraft.
If
this is your first model of its type, or you want an extra margin of safety
while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use
SAFE¢ç Select flight envelope protection technology built into the receiver. No
programming is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in
the manual.
With SAFE
Select enabled, you get:
Pitch and
Bank Angle Limits
These
envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They
also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.
Automatic
Self-Leveling
The
airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are
released and in the center position. It's also helpful for keeping the wings
level during takeoffs/launches and landings.
Easy
Switch Assignment- No Programming Required
The
simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features
on and off doesn't require any programming and takes just a few
seconds.
If
you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver
normally and it will function like a standard AS3X
receiver.
Introduction
Many
RC pilots got their first taste of flying a Short Take Off and Landing (STOL)
capable airplane with the original E-flite¢ç Timber¢ç 1.5m model. Its
fly-almost-anywhere abilities, friendly handling and nimble sport performance
helped it become one of the most popular RC aircraft of all time. The Turbo
Timber 1.5m marks the latest evolution of the iconic design with the addition of
metal-geared servos, a 3S and 4S compatible power system, plus a
turboprop-styled nose and 3-blade propeller for more performance and
capabilities than ever before.

The
Turbo Timber 1.5m is equipped with an unbeatable combination of features that
make it possible for everyone from low-time to expert pilots to enjoy a
versatile STOL and sport flying experience unlike any other. Shock-absorbing
landing gear equipped with oversized, tundra-style wheels plus the optional-use
float set and leading edge slats, functional slotted flaps and the LED light
system from the original are all standard. Add to that a turboprop-styled nose,
capped off with a 3-blade prop and spinner that are driven by a more powerful 3S
and 4S compatible power system- supported by a stiffer airframe that's equipped
with more durable and reliable metal-geared servos- and you have enhanced
performance and capabilities that make this the most fun you can have with a
Timber yet!
