I used two 6-inch Spektrum extensions (SPMA3001) that I had on hand. ![]() The included Y harness is then moved to another point on the receiver. If you opt for the advanced BNF setup for full-span ailerons, you will have to source two servo extensions because they are not provided. On high rates, the Timber is fully capable of knife-edge flight, knife-edge loops, high-alpha maneuvers, and just about anything you can throw at it. No glue is required unless the LE slats are used. ![]() The Timber X comes out of the box with little to do to achieve flight-ready status. The Timber can fly at an amazingly slow speed with the flaps deployed. The author prefers half flaps for takeoff and landings. This likely allows for the best combination of STOL and aerobatic capabilities. I opted to land somewhere in the middle by using the lighter joiner and without wing slats. The slats require being glued in place, so they are not easily removed if attached. The second is deciding whether or not to install the wing slats for improved slow-flight performance. For maximum performance and stability in high-alpha maneuvers, use the steel joiner to shift the CG to the rear of the recommended CG range. For tame flying and maximum stability in general flight, use the lightweight joiner to keep the center of gravity (CG) at the front of the recommended CG range. One involves selecting one of the two included stabilizer joiners-either the lightweight composite joiner or the 1-ounce heavier steel joiner. Horizon Hobby provides two setup files this only affects the advanced BNF setup.ĭuring the assembly process, two decisions need to be made. If that continues to be the case, you will need to compare your transmitter settings with those in the addendum, specifically where it involves the rate setting. It is important to note that the Timber X transmitter setup file has not been updated to match the addendum at the time of this review. The addendum involves the advanced BNF setup for the transmitter for those who want to use the flaps to work in conjunction with the ailerons to provide full-span ailerons. Before beginning assembly, I read through the manual, checked the product page on the Horizon Hobby website for any addendums to the manual (there was one), and downloaded the transmitter setup file. AssemblyĪs with other E-flite EPO foam aircraft, the Timber X is expertly packaged and requires little time and no glue (if the slats are not attached) to achieve flight-ready status. The new X designation likely stands for extreme because E-flite has incorporated a new wing design featuring oversize ailerons and flaps, plus an enlarged rudder and elevator and more powerful 3S- and 4S-compatible power system, to deliver a 3D-capable Timber. THE E-FLITE Timber, both the standard and ultramicro versions, proved to be great Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) aircraft that are beginner friendly and enjoyable to fly.
