Product Description

RC Airplane

Introduction

Much like how the Super Cub and Super Decathlon are more feature-rich, powerful, and capable versions of the original designs, the E-flite Super Timber 1.7m is the same when compared to the world-renowned and best-selling Timber models that came before it. It’s not only larger than the Timber X 1.2m, Turbo Timber 1.5m, and Twin Timber 1.6m models but also features a more flexible and powerful 4S to 6S compatible power system. Plus, it’s equipped with even more “super” features and capabilities that set it apart from all the rest including inflatable tires with beadlock wheels, heavy-duty and articulated shock-absorbing landing gear, slats that can be installed without glue and removed easily in seconds, fastener-free wing and tail attachment, and more. It’s the most feature-rich, capable, and best flying Timber model to date which makes it perfect for everything from slow and easy cruising to sport and all-out aerobatic flying – along with the incredible STOL capabilities a wide range of pilots have come to expect.

  • 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
  • Optional-use motor/thrust reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities including shortened rollouts after landing
  • Spektrum AR637TA receiver with full-range telemetry and industry-leading DSMX technology
  • Easier to fly with innovative and optional-use SAFE Select flight envelope protection
  • The unmatched stability and locked-in feel of exclusive AS3X technology
  • 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

Skill Level 2 – Some Experience Required

Suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. And although this BNF Basic version is equipped with optional-use SAFE Select, it's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots.

RC Airplane

Exclusive Technologies

This model is equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying an even larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make it easier to take off, fly and land!

RC Airplane

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.

RC Airplane

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!

RC Airplane

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.

RC Airplane

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!

RC Airplane

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!

RC Airplane

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.

RC Airplane

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!

Un-boxed my plane in anticipation to fly on a calm spring day, only to find that I have two left-hand landing gears. Tried to contact E-Flite/Horizon Hobby, neither of which will accept phone calls. Any help would be appreciated

If you're thinking about getting the Super Timber... stop thinking and just do it. Seriously. This thing is pure FUN.Right out of the box, it looks awesome. Setup took like 10 minutes, mostly on the landing gear assembly.Got to flying real quick, It can cruise around super slow, and float forever with slats and flaps.I'm flying it on a 6S - 5000mAh battery most of the time and it has TONS of power for loops, rolls, you name it. Last about 12 minutes. Or 8 minutes if I'm leaning on the throttle.Bottom line: if you want a plane that’s easy, tough, and crazy fun, the Super Timber delivers big time.Buy it. Fly it. Grin like an idiot. Repeat.

This plane is fantastic! It flies well and it is a heavier model with the 6 cell battery. Definitely not for beginners! Glad I went with it.

It's a cool plane, looks great and flies awesome despite being a fatty, it flies just how you see on youtube - just fly it under power, it's an airplane, it needs power! and it's got it with 6s. Parts suck trying to find Right Now so buy your spares on Amazon. Not that I care about Amazon, that's just where they're available. Crashed twice lifting off because of my own fault AND, barely any dings. ( Tire popped initially due to my airfield having pokeys in the grass, had to replace the tire and I didn't tighten the wheel nut enough, so my wheel fell off during take off, then I had a sucky landing straight into a ditch and prop scraping landing on pavement and everything's good looking and functional still) You can store the wing support inside the fuselage And it has a no-mess wing clip system (unlike the Draco) so there's not extra stuff to lose on the way wherever you're going, plus removable battery tray. What's there to cry about I love this plane. my current favorite and I've been flying for 9 months, not sure what the other guy is complaining about but I'm brand new and I love this big dumb yellow brick

In seconds the winds snap into place, the wing joiner fits in a holder in the fuse! Loads of power! Long flights, it's very efficient. The only down fall is the tires. They are way too bouncy unless you're landing on grass. For grass ops you'll love it. I changed the tires as I fly off pavement.It's a relaxing plane to just fly... so much fun. Buy some $20.00 wing bags to protect the wings. The landing gear is tough as nails. If you had any of the other Timbers, it'll feel very familiar but more power and better control surfaces.You'll love this plane!

It says this plane flies slow and a stol plane. everything from slow and easy cruising to sport and all-out aerobatic flying – along with the incredible STOL capabilities this is not true I have been in the RC for 22 years I would not recommend this plane to anybody this is a very heavy plane it flies but this plane stalls very easily with the flaps on or off it does not matter you can tell it is a very heavy plane when you are flying it some of the maneuvers you see these things do on YouTube they must have did a different setup because this plane does not act like it does on YouTube I would not recommend buying this plane unless if you like heavy planes that fly not too easy

As I don't do 3D, I used a brand new 4S SMC battery on my first flight. I saw videos of others using 4S batteries. There were light winds. Our club has long paved and grass runways. On approach I was a little hot and long so I tried to do a go around as I have done with other aircraft. There was not enough power, the plane stalled, hit the ground breaking the gear off of the fuselage damaging it. The battery holder broke a tab. The rest of the aircraft including electronics were ok.I just sent it back to Spectrum Service hoping that they will replace the fuselage but I don't know.The outer box was damaged because it was left in the rain...the inner box as well. I had a very difficult time trying to find a box to ship it. The Spectrum customer service guy was not able to help. I had to make a custom box out of 2. I get to FedEx and find out not only do they have a big enough box, but for about 30 dollars they could pack it for me.Since Spectrum uses FedEx, you would think their support team would have known about this but this guy didn't. I did my best to pack the aircraft but I am worried more damage was done in transit.My main point is that this is a heavy aircraft and I think it should always be powered with 6S batteries. I won't know for certain until I get the plane back... if Horizon honors the warranty and helps me out. I will revise my review when I hear from them and if I get to fly it again.Edit: 11/9/2024 I emailed the customer service representative, Scott, the other day. He told me that Horizon is honoring the warranty not by replacing the fuselage which is what I asked for, but by sending me an entirely new aircraft. They were out at the time but I now see that they sent it by FedEx and it is expected to arrive in a few days.While I am obviously very happy about this because it was a brand new aircraft, I do wonder why they didn't just put all the electronics in a new fuselage. My guess is that either they are not available or it was just easier for them to do this. A fuselage is NOT available in the parts list for the Super Timber.Since this happened, I did see a YouTube video of a guy that had a stall crash due to pilot error causing the same damage as I had. He managed to use CA to glue the gear back to the fuselage.Foam is certainly forgiven... Much more so than balsa or composite. My first trainer, the Apprentice has more lives than a cat. It surely doesn't look great anymore. The fuselage was even broken about 2/3 down but still flies very well.Considering what I know now, there are a few points I will make. I'm not by any means an expert, more of an intermediate RC pilot. This is a tail dragger and a heavy aircraft. Horizon doesn't recommend this as a first step up after beginning with a tricycle gear trainer. I would definitely agree with that.Yes, it was designed to be able to run on 4S batteries and I am sure others can be successful doing that. Because of what happened to me, I will always stick to 6S batteries, probably the 5000 mah ones I already purchased.I will put the new one together and hopefully I will get some flying in before it gets really cold and update this again.If you are a pilot with experience, I think you will have a lot of fun with this aircraft. The gear assembly is sturdy but obviously in my situation the stall was such that though not high off the ground, the force was sufficient to separate the gear from the fuselage.I will be doing a lot more practice with the Sim.Kudos to Horizon Service for giving me a new aircraft.I am giving it 4 stars only because of my concern about the design of the gear. It might be unfair of me, that it is the pilot's responsibility to never crash rather than question the design of the plane. You will have to be the judge of that. Unfortunately, crashing is part of the Hobby!
