Introduction

Much like the Super Cub and Super Decathlon are more feature-rich and powerful versions of their original version, the E-flite® Super Timber® 1.7m is the ultimate step up from the world's most popular Timber models. Not only is it larger than previous Timber models, it is also equipped with even more "super" features and capabilities that set it apart from all other versions - including air-filled tires with beadlock rims, a robust shock-absorbing chassis and Slats that install in seconds without glue and are easily removed, a tool-free wing and tail mount, and more. It's the most feature-rich, capable and best-flying Timber model ever, excelling across the entire spectrum of flight, from slow cruising to sport and aerobatics. Of course, it also boasts the incredible STOL capabilities that Timber Design is known for.

Overview

The E-flite Super Timber 1.7m is equipped with a long list of “super” features that make it the most feature-rich and high-performance Timber ever! Starting with air-filled Tundra tires on unique beadlock rims, mounted on a robust, forward-angled, shock-absorbing chassis to prevent rollovers. It is the best and strongest landing gear ever installed on a Timber model to provide maximum durability and STOL capability when flying over almost any terrain! The optionally usable slats can be clicked in without glue and then removed again in a matter of seconds. As expected, there is also LED lighting, which has been supplemented with additional position and landing lights for better visibility. The horizontal stabilizer halves lock into place when plugged in and the pluggable wing halves with self-connecting servo connectors are secured with innovative wing locking mechanisms, so no tools are required for assembly/disassembly. There's even a specially designed clip in the fuselage that holds the extension tube so you never forget it when transporting the model! The digital servos with metal gears enable precise and reliable control of the oversized control surfaces. For additional rudder effect, the landing flaps, which can deflect in both directions, can also be used as ailerons.

A custom-tuned motor is matched to an exclusive 85A Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC that delivers a variety of propulsion system telemetry data in real time via compatible receivers using smart and non-smart batteries (including the AR637TA installed in the BNF® Basic version; in combination with Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters). The BNF® Basic version is equipped with an AR637TA receiver that provides comprehensive real-time telemetry data, including total battery voltage, ESC temperature and more. In addition, the receiver offers engine thrust reversal for special ground handling maneuvers and the advantages of AS3X® and the optional SAFE® Select technology. The Super Timber 1.7m also features a large upper fuselage cover for quicker and easier battery changes using a quick-release battery compartment that allows multiple positions to accommodate most 4S to 6S 3200-5000mAh batteries. You even have the option to mount floats (sold separately) to fly from ponds and lakes! All of these great details and features make this Timber the most versatile, everyday and aerobatic STOL model (Short Take Off and Landing) for a wide range of pilots.
