Description

The E-flite UMX Turbo Timber Evolution is a scaled-down ultra-micro version of the extremely popular Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m! It's also an updated and upgraded version of the best-selling UMX Turbo Timber that features a reinforced airframe and stronger linkages to handle the added power, performance, and capability the new 2S and 3S compatible power system delivers. It's equipped with LED landing, navigation, and strobe lights, delivers real-time battery voltage and other telemetry to compatible transmitters, plus it can be equipped with the optional UMX floats (sold separately). And because of its ultra-micro size, the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution can be flown outdoors in many yards, parks, and sports fields – or even indoors in gymnasiums and other suitable spaces! It's affordable, convenient, capable – and easy to fly – which makes it a great choice for a wide range of pilots interested in a flying experience they can't get with any other model. For low-time to experienced pilots interested in an ultra-micro sized version of the incredibly popular Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, the E-flite UMX Turbo Timber Evolution is an easy-to-fly, smooth handling, STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) capable airplane with unmatched fly-anywhere versatility! It's also an updated and upgraded version of the UMX Turbo Timber that now features a 2S and 3S compatible power system for added power and capability — especially when using popular and affordable 3S 300mAh batteries for unlimited vertical performance! Plus it can perform inverted flight, knife edge, snaps, spins and other advanced aerobatic maneuvers with ease. Functional oversized flaps, along with the optional-use leading-edge slats, offer improved STOL and slow flight performance. Equipped with oversized tundra-style tires like its predecessor, the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution can take off and land on grass and other rough surfaces due to the landing gear design that secures the fairings to the fuselage. Experienced pilots can fly it indoors in spaces as small as a single basketball court, and almost anyone who's mastered flying at least one other airplane before can fly it successfully outdoors in large yards, small parks, sports fields, at RC flying fields and almost anywhere else! Install the optional floats (sold separately) and you can add large pools, small ponds, and lakes to your flying site options. Included LED landing, navigation and simulated strobe lights add to the fun and make it possible to fly from earlier to even later in the day. Best of all, the reinforced airframe with stronger ball-link equipped linkages arrives 100% factory-assembled — and is ready to fly as soon as you charge up a battery and bind the installed Spektrum receiver to your compatible transmitter! In The Box Needed to Complete The E-flite UMX Turbo Timber Evolution is an updated and upgraded version of the UMX Turbo Timber that features a reinforced airframe plus a 2S and 3S compatible power system for even more STOL capability and legendary fly-anywhere versatility! Already own a Spektrum transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly! The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution is equipped with a control unit/flight controller that includes an ESC and Spektrum receiver that provides real-time flight battery voltage telemetry to compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, the iX12, iX14, iX20 and others) while you fly. This ultra-micro Turbo Timber Evolution 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 a much 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 fly! The factory-installed brushless outrunner motor is 2S and 3S compatible to offer a wide range of "mild to wild" performance – from slow cruising to maximize flight time, to hovering and unlimited vertical performance! Fly off surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size to handle: grass, gravel paths, dirt trails, paved surfaces — even pools, ponds and lakes using the optional floats (EFLUA1190, sold separately). The landing gear has fairings that are secured to the fuselage and oversized, tundra-style tires soak up bumps and provide excellent prop clearance. The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution's wing is designed with features like drooped wingtips, functional oversized flaps, and to accept optional-use leading edge slats (included) for improved slow flight and STOL performance. These features, along with the lightweight design and high-power brushless motor, make it possible to spring into the air or float down to land in less distance than any other similar class model! Like the UMX Timber models that came before it, the Turbo Timber Evolution comes with realistic-looking LED landing, navigation and simulated strobe lights that are factory-installed and powered from the flight battery. The reinforced airframe with stronger, more precise ball-link equipped linkages is lightweight yet durable. And 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. The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box! It's equipped with industry leading Spektrum 2.4GHz technology that binds to your 6+ channel DSMX/DSM2 equipped transmitter so you can be flying within minutes of opening the box. ADVANCING ELECTRIC FLIGHT E-flite aircraft are developed by experts who love electric power and flying as much as you. They know the kind of quality and performance you desire most and combine exacting standards in design with the best materials to build state-of-the-art aircraft – from top-of-the-line trainers to a wide range of sport and scale models.

  • Flies great right out of the box
A great little good looking plane! Flies great right out of the box.. I love that the box doubles as a carry and storage container keeping the plane safe from accidental damage. If you want a plane that is enjoyable to fly, easy to land, and easy to transport. I would recommend this one. Very simple to bind to a compatible transmitter. ... show more

  • I'm tempted to buy another one. Fun, good price point with excellent quality in a foamy UMX size.
A great first plane, or just a good plane if you like the size. I already had an e-Flite radio so I didn't buy the Ready To Fly. The instructions to setup the radio were easy to find and follow, no need if you buy the RTF. Anything smaller than a UMX sized plane is hard to see at any distance. No surprise bigger is easier to see. While I recommend a month or 2 on a simulator, e-Flite's Safe Mode will help you avoid hard crashes. Use Safe for recovery, take offs and landings only. You will never become a decent pilot flying in Safe. Be ready when you flip the switch, there is a big difference so use a very light touch. Flying in even a light breeze requires you to pay attention because the plane crawls in one direction and zips right along in the other. If you found a Turbo Timber East of Wyoming, it's mine. This is a good quality plane with outstanding value. You get what you pay for. Parts, after my 2.1-meter Carbon Cub crashed, were as much as this entire plane new. And I already had foam safe glue. I miss my Timber. ... show more

  • Great next step plane
I went from one of the cheap leve 1 trainer planes to this. If you have little experience make sure you know what your doing, what all the controlls do and make adjustments to the plane before you fly it and know where the safe mode switch is on your controller most importantly! . I took it off same mode my first flight and dive bombed it and broke it in half. Luckily I was able to glue it back together and get advice from some one with experience and it flies great now. super easy to land it will glide down with ease even if your using zero throttle ... show more

  • Flaws! Multiple planes now
1st plane 1st flight good. 2nd flight aileron stuck put me in a tree and broke nose off plane from wings forward. Figured it was a bad luck plane no big deal. I was planing on turning in the plane with the insurance and buying another. I’m impatient so I bought a new plane and I’ll do the insurance later. 2nd plane first flight aileron stuck again, thankfully in a position I was able to limp it into a rough landing. Tapped aileron servo and it started working. Shut it down and reseated servo plugs. Powered up and could not get servos to have a mistake on the ground. Took off, 20seconds into flight elevator got stuck into a high position and struggled with throttle flaps and rudder to barely bring it into a landing. I’m getting my money back for this plane. Eflight needs to figure this out. Plane is hot garbage. Such a shame. If you’re lucky enough to get one without the problems it looks like it would be fun. Unfortunately it has only brought me moments of high stress and feelings of disappointment ... show more

  • Flys great, UMX repair mechanic wanted.
Upside: Great park flyer, okay in light wind or in smaller fields. After some mechanical trim adjustment, flew extremely well on 3S. Downside: Like all Eflite UMX planes, it is very fragile. A small nose over and your prop will probably break, and maybe your motor, and only Eflite sells the right replacements (total $37 plus shipping). Decal hinges are weak. Landing gear wire and farings can break easily. Hatch cover wants to fly by itself. Battery tray is weak foam. Receiver is locked out of forward programming. All the usual weak points need reinforcing. Why does this 3s plane have a JST connector? Too many parts ordered for a few hours flight time. Do better Eflite. UPDATE: I LOVE THE WAY THIS PLANES FLIES, BUT THE CHEAP, DECAL HINGES ON THE RUDDER SNAPPED EASILY. I REPLACED THEM WITH MICRO PINNED HINGES. SO MANY DESIGN QUALITY ISSUES IN THIS EGG-FLITE PLANE. ... show more

  • Flies very nicely
Easy to fly. Great for small areas. It will get off the ground in about 2 feet using full throttle. Very stable. Has very nice glide and slow flight characteristics. I like to take it up to about 150 feet and shut the throttle off and let it glide down. It will also do nice aerobatics. Inside and outside loops are not a problem. Rolls are very nice. I can do cuban 8's with mine no problem. No problem binding to my Spektrum NX10 transmitter. I get 5 minute flights with Spektrum 3S 300mah batteries. Could be used as trainer for a beginner. Avoid windy weather. Update: Ths plane is a blast to fly and I've crashed 3 of them because I like to do crazy things. With 3S lipo it has amazing performance and I take it off crosswise from a 3 foot wide picnic bench. On the last one I noticed that the rudder servo froze but luckly in the straight position but I use the rudder a lot when I fly so I wasn't able to do the things like to do. Keep in mind that it's a cheap airplane and things won't last forever. But as I noted previously, it can be docile enough to be a good trainer. ... show more

  • Most fun I ever had
I normally fly larger airplanes (1.5m). This little Timber was the best of all. I feel this is the only RC airplane I ever need. Small and does everything I wish for it to do. Really amazing for relax or crazy fas flying. I might sell all of my large ones after this. I fly it in all weather conditions even when it’s very windy for a little airplane. I modified the landing lights moving them to the wing to give me a better visibility on its direction while flying late evenings. Noticed that this airplane will not bind on the field when it’s shaking from the wind. So make sure to bind in your car before taking it outside if the weather is windy. ... show more

  • Yes, just get it, you won’t be disappointed.
Wow! First rc plane for my 49th birthday. Love it! Super slow if you want, and full performance when you throttle down. Love the flaps. I run a 3s 450 and it has no issue with the extra weight. Bought the Asurion protection plan (you should too!!!), and it paid for itself two weeks. Wind took it into the neighbors fence and broke the nose and rudder off. I did get foam glue and put it back together, and it still flied…until I took it into a tree :) The protection plan got me my credit back in days to get my replacement. I did a ton of research before landing on the UMX tte. I can’t say enough good things about it. Highly recommended. The hype is real! ... show more
