Super Timber 1.7m PNP Electric Airplane, from E-flite

The E-flite® Super Timber® 1.7m is the most feature-rich and capable Timber yet! It includes a long list of “super” details from inflatable tires and heavy-duty articulated landing gear, to slats that can be installed and removed in seconds, a 4S to 6S compatible power system, and much more.

• A long list of “super” details makes this the most feature-rich, capable, and best flying Timber model to date
• Incredible Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) plus sport and aerobatic flight capabilities for a wide range of pilots
• Specially tuned Spektrum brushless motor compatible with 4S to 6S batteries without the need for modifications
• Popular and common 3200–5000mAh batteries deliver a wide range of performance and flight times
• Convenient top hatch plus a quick-release, multi-position mounting tray for easier battery changes
• 85-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC provides real-time battery voltage, current, and other data via compatible receivers and transmitters
• Six durable and factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos for precise and reliable control
• Optional-use leading-edge slats that clip into place without glue for quick and easy installation/removal
• Inflatable rubber tires with beadlock wheels plus heavy-duty articulated and shock-absorbing landing gear
• Plug-in wing panels featuring hands-free servo connections and innovative wing lock mechanisms, so no fasteners are required to install them
• Composite wing joiner tube plus a custom-designed clip in the fuselage to hold the joiner when the wing panels are removed
• Oversized control surfaces with double-beveled hinge lines for added control and aerobatic capabilities
• Functional flaps that can travel both ways for optional use as full-span ailerons
• Includes hardware to mount the optional float set (sold separately) to fly from water
• Functional and factory-installed LED landing, navigation, and strobe lights
• Lightweight yet durable composite-reinforced EPO construction
• Fast and easy assembly – no glue required

Skill Level 3 – Experience Required
Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. This PNP version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF Basic version because you will need to install a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. It’s not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots or “next step after a trainer” model for low-time to intermediate RC pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly mid-sized STOL-capable models like the E-flite Timber X 1.2m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, Twin Timber 1.6m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the Super Timber 1.7m.

Plug-N-Play Completion Level
The Plug-N-Play (PNP) version comes out of the box with a factory-installed power system and servos that are ready to connect to the compatible receiver of your choice (sold separately), plus the transmitter and battery you provide (also sold separately). Simply install the receiver, finish any final assembly, and fly!

Smart Technology
Both the PNP and BNF Basic versions of the Super Timber 1.7m are equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian 85A Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data, including overall battery voltage, motor RPM, current draw, and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA installed in the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20, and others) while you fly. It also features optional-use motor/thrust reversing to offer special ground handling and other capabilities.

Super Power
The factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor is 4S to 6S compatible to offer a wide range of “mild to wild” performance – from sport flying and basic aerobatics with 4S batteries to hovering and unlimited vertical performance with 6S batteries! The convenient top-mounted and magnetically secured hatch plus a quick-release, multi-position mounting tray makes it easy to install and remove common and popular 3200–5000mAh batteries.

Super Capable
Double-beveled hinge lines make it possible to deflect all the oversized control surfaces to high angles for outstanding control and aerobatic capability. Plus, the flaps can travel both ways for optional use as full-span ailerons for even more aggressive capabilities. Or on low rates, the controls can be smooth and docile so you can fly as mild or as wild as you'd like!

Super STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing)
The wing design has a larger span and more area than the Timber X 1.2m and Turbo 1.5m models, plus it features drooped wingtips and can be equipped with the included optional-use leading edge slats for improved slow flight and STOL performance. The slats clip into place for easy installation without the use of glue or tools – and can easily be removed then reinstalled in seconds! These features, along with the lightweight design, oversized flaps, and high-power brushless power system, make it possible to spring into the air or float down to land in as little as a few feet or less.

Super Versatile Gear
From thick grass to gravel paths and dirt trails—even local lakes and ponds—you can easily fly off of these and many other surfaces with the Super Timber 1.7m. The heavy-duty, articulated, and shock-absorbing landing gear is angled forward to help prevent nose-overs making it the best and strongest installed to a Timber model yet! It’s also equipped with inflatable rubber tundra-style tires (air pump included) mounted to unique beadlock wheels to better soak up the bumps of rough surfaces and not-so-great landings. Extra hardware is also included to mount the optional float set (EFLA550; sold separately) that features a water rudder for superb steering control. Whichever gear option you choose to fly with, both are easy to install and can be swapped out in minutes!

Super Easy Assembly
No glue is required for assembly, and the Super Timber can be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge the flight battery. The horizontal stabilizer halves snap into place, and the plug-in wing panels featuring hands-free servo connections are secured with innovative wing lock mechanisms so no fasteners or tools are required to install/remove them. Plus, a custom-designed clip in the fuselage holds the wing joiner tube so you never forget it when the wing is removed for more convenient storage and transport!

Super Durable
Composite-reinforced, hollow-core construction with EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe. And the factory-installed digital, metal-geared servos are precise, durable, and reliable. In the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.

Super LEDs
Like most other Timber models, the Super Timber comes with realistic-looking LED landing, navigation, and strobe lights that are factory-installed and powered by the flight battery. It even has additional position and landing lights for added visibility!
