Timber 10-year Anniversary Edition PNP

This Special Edition of the Timber 1.5m celebrates the 10th anniversary of the very first Timber, which laid the foundation for one of the most popular and best-selling radio-controlled airplane series of all time. It retains the distinctive short-nose design and color scheme of the original. At the same time, it is equipped with all the modern features and technologies of the current Timber models, including an upper maintenance hatch, reinforced landing gear mounts, robust landing gear springs and many other improvements that make it better than ever.

E-flite Timber 1.5m 10th Anniversary Special Edition Intro

Many model pilots had their first experience with a "e;Short Take Off and Landing "e; (STOL) capable airplane with the original E-flite® Timber® 1.5m model. Thanks to its smooth handling, agile sport performance and ability to take off and land almost anywhere, it became one of the most popular RC airplanes of all time. It has been widely praised and recommended as a great "next step" after a trainer, a perfect first STOL airplane and one of the best all-round models for a wide range of pilots.
This Special Edition celebrates the 10th anniversary of this iconic model with the same striking design and color scheme - but with all the modern amenities, features, technology and capabilities expected of a Timber model today. From a top-mounted battery hatch for quicker and easier battery changes, reinforced main landing gear mounts and sturdy springs, to combined connectors for easier wing assembly and disassembly, to many more features that make the model more durable, practical and capable than ever before!

E-flite Timber 1.5m 10th Anniversary Special Edition Overview

Both versions are equipped with reliable and durable metal geared servos, a 3S and 4S compatible motor and a more powerful 70-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC. The receiver provides real-time telemetry data such as total battery voltage, amperage and more to compatible radio controls - both smart and non-smart batteries. Additionally, it enables motor/thrust reversing for special ground maneuvers and other functions. The hole EPO construction with composite reinforcements makes for a lightweight but strong airframe that allows for a variety of aerobatic maneuvers while keeping wing loading low. This ensures impressive STOL and slow flight characteristics. Optional slats can be installed for even better slow flight performance or the included floats to take off from the water as well. All these features continue to make the Timber 1.5m the best "e;next step "e;, the perfect everyday sport model and the ideal STOL machine for a wide range of pilots - and in this Anniversary Special Edition it's better than ever!

Skill Level 3 - experience required
Skill Level 3 aircraft such as this are aimed at experienced RC pilots who already have the necessary skills to assemble, set up and safely fly models in this class. This PNP version requires more experience and skill than the BNF Basic version, as a separate receiver must be installed that does not already have correctly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. You should have sufficient experience with training models such as the HobbyZone AeroScout 1.1m and the Carbon Cub 1.3m, or with more advanced trainer models such as the E flite Apprentice STS 1.5m and the Habu STS 70mm EDF, before attempting to fly the Timber 1.5m 10th Anniversary Special Edition in the PNP version.

Plug-N-Play® equipment advantage
The Plug-N-Play (PNP) version comes with a factory-installed power system and servos that connect directly to a compatible receiver of your choice (sold separately). You will also need a suitable remote control and battery (also sold separately). Simply install the receiver, complete the final assembly steps and you're ready to go!

Versatile chassis options
Dense grass, gravel roads, dirt tracks - even local lakes and ponds - with this model you can conquer all these and many more surfaces that would be insurmountable for most models of this size. The reinforced brackets in the fuselage, combined with a shock-absorbing chassis and more robust springs, reliably absorb the shocks of uneven surfaces and less-than-perfect landings. The large Tundra wheels and tires provide excellent propeller clearance, while the included float set with two water controls enables precise control on the water. No matter which equipment you choose, both options are easy to fit and can be swapped in a matter of minutes.

STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) capable
The wing of the Timber offers practical details such as lowered winglets and functional flaps. In addition, the optional slats (included in the scope of delivery) can be fitted to optimize low-speed flight characteristics and STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) performance. In combination with the lightweight design and the powerful brushless motor, this enables take-offs and landings at very short distances - often in just a few meters.

Flexible power
The factory-installed brushless motor includes a Spektrum Avian 70A Smart Lite ESC, a specially tuned motor and a 2-blade propeller. With a 3S LiPo battery, it delivers plenty of thrust, while a 4S battery provides even more power and unlimited vertical performance - without any additional modifications or upgrades. Plus, the convenient top maintenance hatch and larger battery compartment make it easy to use batteries between 3S 2200mAh and 4S 5000mAh to provide a variety of performance options and flight times.

Increased durability
The composite-reinforced hollow core construction made of EPO material ensures a lightweight yet robust airframe. The Timber 1.5m also features a reinforced wing that improves aileron control and roll rate. In addition, durable and reliable servos with metal gears are installed all round.

LED lighting
Like the original, the Timber 1.5 m 10th Anniversary Special Edition is equipped with realistic-looking LED landing, navigation and strobe lights, which are installed ex works and powered by the flight battery.

Simple assembly
No glue is required for assembly, and as the few parts are simply screwed together, the Timber 1.5 m is ready to fly faster than the flight battery is charged. The two-piece wing with integrated servo and LED connectors also makes transportation and storage easier than ever before.
