E-flite Twin Timber 1.6m SAFE Select BNF Basic

Bind-N-Fly version

Already own a Spektrum™ RC transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft are already ready to fly, thanks to a ready model aircraft with a Spektrum receiver. A motor with a regulator, servos and a Spektrum 2.4 GHz receiver are installed. Therefore, just pair the receiver in the model with your compatible transmitter, complete the final assembly and fly (transmitter, battery and charger sold separately).

Exclusive technology

Twin Timber 1.6 m 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 you look like you're flying in a much larger aircraft. Optional use of SAFE Select offers pitch and roll limits and automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch! And if you don't want to activate the SAFE Select functions, pair the receiver in the normal way and only the AS3X 3-axis stabilization will be active.

SMART technology

The Twin Timber 1.6m RC model airplane is equipped with a Spektrum Avian dual controller, which can provide a variety of real-time telemetry data, such as motor speed, current, battery voltage. With compatible Spektrum RC transmitters equipped with Spektrum AirWare™ (including DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX14 , iX20 and others), you can see this data on the transmitter display. The dual controller supports differential thrust, which improves flight characteristics, taxiing on the ground and allows for special flight maneuvers.

Versatile possibilities of use

Thick grass, gravel, dirt roads - even local lakes and ponds - you can fly these and many other surfaces that most models of this size cannot handle. The shock-absorbing chassis is the strongest Timber model yet, and features large Tundra-style wheels that absorb bumps on rough surfaces. An optional float kit (sold separately) includes a pair of rudders for superior control on the water. Whatever gear you choose to fly, the landing gear or floats are easy to install and can be changed in minutes.

STOL - short takeoff and landing (Short Takeoff and Landing)

The wing has a larger span and area than the Timber X 1.2m and Turbo 1.5m models plus special trailing arcs and can be fitted with the included optional wing leading edge slots for even slower flight and STOL performance. These features, along with a lightweight design, oversized flaps and high-performance AC drive, allow it to take off or land at a distance of just a few meters.

Two AC motors, more options

The 40A Spektrum™ Avian™ Dual Smart AC controller, together with specially tuned motors, provide great thrust with a 3S LiPo battery or offer even higher speed and unlimited vertical power with a 4S LiPol battery with no setup required. Additionally, wing-mounted engines make it impossible to break counter-rotating propellers or damage engines and nacelles.

Strong and durable

The lightweight yet durable composite-reinforced and fully molded EPO airframe features a wealth of detail. Therefore, the model is extremely light, while high structural rigidity and strength are guaranteed. The wing is equipped with reliable digital servos with metal gears. No glue is needed to assemble the RC model, as assembly is done with just a few screws, so the Twin Timber is ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge the flight battery. The two-part wing makes it easy to transport and store.

LED model lighting

The model looks alive in flight, thanks to the realistic LED landing, navigation and strobe lights, which are already fully installed in the model and powered by the flight battery.

The electronics of the receiver is equipped with electronic stabilization AS3X , which offers the highest level of accuracy and stabilization in flight. It is a completely new flight experience thanks to the latest technology that can guide the model straight as if on a line. Based on information from the 3-axis gyroscope, the microprocessor constantly maintains the position of the aircraft using the ailerons, rudder and elevator in the same orientation until you give an instruction via the transmitter to change the position of the model.

If you are not a very experienced pilot or want to ensure a greater degree of safety, or to get to know the model safely first, you can activate the optional SAFE Select technology, which is integrated in the receiver. No programming is required, simply pair the receiver with or without SAFE, and if SAFE is selected, set the switch to turn the function on and off according to the instructions. The SAFE function secures the flight envelope by limiting the extreme flight limits of yaw and pitch. Electronic stability is also active, when the control levers of the transmitter are returned to neutral, the model is leveled into horizontal flight.

Recommended Spektrum transmitters

To pair the BNF version model, we recommend modern SPEKTRUM programmable transmitters:

• 
  
• 6-channel DX Spektrum DX6e DSMX series transmitter with telemetry, 250 models in memory .
  
• 6-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX6 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  
• NX Spektrum NX8 DSMX series 8-channel transmitter with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connection option .
  

Recommended batteries

To power the model, we recommend a driving LiPol battery with 3 or 4 cells (11.1 V, 14.8 V).

• 
  
• For regular flying Spektrum SMART LiPo battery 11.1 V 2200 mAh 30C IC3 with Smart technology.
  
• For longer flights LiPo battery Spektrum Smart LiPo 11.1V 3200mAh 30C IC3.
  
• For maximum performance and acrobatics LiPo battery Spektrum Smart LiPo 14.8V 2200mAh 50C IC3 with Smart technology
  

Spektrum batteries with Smart technology currently represent the most modern and safest way to maintain and charge batteries. The benefits of Spektrum Smart technology can be found here.

Recommended chargers for conventional LiPol and Smart batteries

If you decide to use modern Smart LiPo batteries in RC models of airplanes or helicopters, or to charge your batteries from other manufacturers, then we recommend the following chargers:

• 
  
• Network charger Spektrum S155 with one output 1x 55W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S1100 with one output 1x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2100 with one output 2x 100W .
  
• Network charger Spektrum S2200 with two outputs 2x 200W .
  

Accessories for normal operation

For the normal operation of flying RC models, you need suitable adhesives, a set of tools and a storage case for LiPol batteries. From our assortment, we recommend a quality set of 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0mm allen screwdrivers and Modelcraft Phillips screwdrivers (set of 6). Modelcraft mini pliers in a case (set) will certainly come in handy for assembly, and for cutting a Modelcraft cutting knife with an A6 pad.

For quick repair of model airplanes, we recommend the fast-curing 4-minute Epoxy glue. From our offer, we recommend Speed Epoxy 4 min. 71g

Protective covers for accumulators

Protective packaging is intended to limit the risk associated with the transport and charging of accumulators. LiPo accumulators, while maintaining small dimensions and low weight, can provide high discharge currents and have a large capacity. The LiPo battery is particularly susceptible to mechanical damage and therefore needs to be thoroughly protected.
