E-flite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m BNF Basic, floats

Exclusive technology

The Turbo Timber® Evolution 1.5m RC Airplane features exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X is a 3-axis electronic stabilization to eliminate the effect of wind and turbulence, which makes it seem like you are flying a much larger aircraft. Optional use of the SAFE Select function offers a choice of slope limit and tilt angle, along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off with the flip of a switch! If you don't want to use the SAFE Select function, you simply pair the receiver in the normal way and only the AS3X 3-axis gyro remains active.

SMART technology

The Basic Turbo Timber® Evolution B is equipped with the exclusive Spektrum™ SMART Avian™ 70A controller, which offers a range of telemetry data related to the power system in real time, including motor speed, current, battery voltage and more via compatible Smart telemetry receivers (such as AR637TA installed in the BNF Basic version) and transmitters equipped with Spektrum AirWare™ (including DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8G2, DX9, NX6, NX8 and NX10, iX12, iX20) during flight. It is also equipped with selectable engine reverse that offers quick ground braking, reversing, etc.

Floats in the package

For fans of seaplanes, for operation on water surfaces, the package includes a set of floats. After a short assembly, you can enjoy flying over the surface of lakes and ponds. Thanks to the STOL characteristics, the launch is possible even where most models of this size can no longer handle it. Stronger reinforced hull mounts and shock-absorbing chassis, equipped with oversized wheels and tundra-style tires, soak up the bumps of rough surfaces and provide excellent support. The set of floats includes two rudders for safe control.

STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing)

The Turbo Timber® Evolution model aircraft wing is designed for STOL (short takeoff and landing) characteristics, so it has functional slotted flaps installed, and optional leading edge slots are included for even slower flight. These features, together with a light construction and a powerful AC motor, make it possible to start literally on the subway.

Powerful AC motor

The AC drive installed in the model is equipped with a SMART Spektrum™ Avian™ 70A controller along with a specially tuned BL10 AC motor and 3-blade propeller, which provide enough thrust with a 3S LiPol battery or high power for aerobatics with a 4S LiPol battery without the need for any modifications or adjustments . The advantage is access to the fuselage by folding the cover in front of the wing and more space for batteries, which allows the use of LiPol batteries from 3S 2200mAh, up to 4S 5000mAh, in order to achieve a wide range of performance and flight time.

A light and durable kite model

The Turbo Timber Evolution has a composite reinforced construction with a hollow core of rigid EPO foam and carbon reinforcements, therefore the model is extremely light while ensuring high structural rigidity and strength. The wing is equipped with reliable 9g digital servos with metal gears.

Model lighting installed

The model looks lifelike in flight with realistic LED landing, navigation and strobe lights already installed and powered by the flight battery.

Easy assembly

No glue is needed to assemble the Turbo Timber RC Model Airplane, as assembly is done with just a few screws, so the Turbo 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.

The electronics of the receiver is equipped with electronic 3-axis stabilization AS3X , which offers the highest level of stabilization flight corrections. It is a technology that can guide the model across the sky as if on a string. The microprocessor, based on information from the 3-axis gyroscope, constantly maintains the position of the model aircraft using the ailerons and rudders and elevator in the same position until you give an instruction via the transmitter to change the position of the model.

If you are not a very experienced pilot or if you want to have a greater degree of safety, or if you first get to know the model safely in flight, 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 automatically 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 .
  
• 7-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX7e DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility .
  
• 8-channel transmitter of the NX Spektrum NX8 DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  
• 14-channel transmitter of the NX+ Spektrum NX7e+ DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility .
  
• 20-channel transmitter of the NX+ Spektrum NX8+ DSMX series with the latest trends, Smart Technology compatibility, USB port and WiFi connectivity .
  

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 1.5/2.0/2.5/3.0 mm 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.
