PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The E-flite Super Timber 1.7m is equipped with a long list of "super" details that make it the most feature-rich and capable Timber yet! Starting with inflatable tundra tyres and unique beadlock wheels mounted on heavy-duty articulated and shock-absorbing landing gear that are angled forward to help prevent nose-overs. It's the best and strongest landing gear that's ever been installed on a Timber model to deliver maximum durability and STOL capability when flying from almost any terrain! The optional-use slats can be clipped into place without the use of any glue, then can be removed and even reinstalled in seconds. All the LED lights you've come to expect are there, along with additional position and landing lights for added visibility. The horizontal stabilizer halves snap into place, plus the plug-in wing panels featuring hands-free servo connections are secured with innovative wing lock mechanisms so no fasteners or tools are required to install/remove them. There's even a custom-designed clip in the fuselage that holds the wing joiner tube so you never forget it when the wing is removed for more convenient storage and transport! The digital, metal-geared servos deliver precise and reliable control of the oversized control surfaces for added authority, including flaps that can travel both ways for additional capabilities such as optional-use full-span ailerons.
A specially tuned motor is matched to an exclusive 85-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system telemetry data with Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA installed in the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters. The BNF⌐ Basic version is equipped with an AR637TA receiver to provide full-range, real-time telemetry data, including overall battery voltage, ESC temp, and more - plus motor/thrust reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities - along with the benefits of AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. The Super Timber 1.7m also features a large top hatch for faster, easier battery changes using a quick-release, multi-position battery mounting tray that fits most 4S to 6S 3200-5000mAh batteries. You even have the option to install floats (sold separately) to fly from ponds and lakes! All these super details and features add up to make this the best Short Take Off and Landing (STOL), everyday sport, and even aggressive aerobatics capable model for a wide range of pilots.

Super Powerful
The factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor is 4S to 6S compatible to offer a wide range of "mild to wild" performance - from sport flying and basic aerobatics with 4S batteries to hovering and unlimited vertical performance with 6S batteries!
Super LED's
Like most other Timber models, the Super Timber comes with realistic-looking LED landing, navigation, and strobe lights that are factory-installed and powered by the flight battery. It even has additional position and landing lights for added visibility!
Super STOL
The wing design has a larger span and more area than the Timber X 1.2m and Turbo 1.5m models, plus it features drooped wingtips and can be equipped with the included optional-use leading edge slats for improved slow flight and STOL performance.
Skill Level
BNF Basic Version - Skill Level 2
Ideal for pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. It's not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots, or "next step after a trainer" model for low-time RC pilots.
PNP Version - Skill Level 3
Suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. This PNP version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF Basic version.
Smart Technologies
Both the PNP and BNF Basic versions of the Super Timber 1.7m are equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian 85A Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data, including overall battery voltage, motor RPM, current draw, and more - with Smart and non-Smart batteries - via compatible receivers (including the AR637TA installed in the BNF Basic version) and Spektrum AirWareT equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, iX12 to 20, and others) while you fly. It also features optional-use motor/thrust reversing to offer special ground handling and other capabilities.
Super Capable
Double-beveled hinge lines make it possible to deflect all the oversized control surfaces to high angles for outstanding control and aerobatic capability. Plus, the flaps can travel both ways for optional use as full-span ailerons for even more aggressive capabilities. Or on low rates, the controls can be smooth and docile so you can fly as mild or as wild as you'd like!
Easy Assembly
No glue is required for assembly, and the Super Timber can be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge the flight battery. The horizontal stabilizer halves snap into place, and the plug-in wing panels featuring hands-free servo connections are secured with innovative wing lock mechanisms so no fasteners or tools are required to install/remove them.
Versatile Gear
From thick grass to gravel paths and dirt trails-even local lakes and ponds-you can easily fly off of these and many other surfaces with the Super Timber 1.7m. The heavy-duty, articulated, and shock-absorbing landing gear is angled forward to help prevent nose-overs making it the best and strongest installed to a Timber model yet! It's also equipped with inflatable rubber tundra-style tyres (air pump included) mounted to unique beadlock wheels to better soak up the bumps of rough surfaces and not-so-great landings.
