Description

The original Timber® captured the thrill of incredible Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) capabilities in a design featuring sporty flight performance and ultra-friendly handling. The E-flite® Timber X 1.2m combines the STOL capabilities of the original model with a new wing design featuring oversized ailerons and flaps, plus an enlarged rudder and elevator and a more powerful 3S and 4S compatible power system, to also deliver 3D performance you’d expect from an all-out aerobat.

The E-flite® Night Timber X 1.2m unleashes a new era of STOL plus 3D aerobatic capability. Hollow-core EPO construction with composite reinforcement results in a lightweight yet strong airframe that’s capable of handling extreme aerobatic maneuvers while keeping the wing loading low for impressive Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) and slow flight performance. It’s also equipped with high-torque, metal-geared servos plus the shock-absorbing landing gear of the original model so you can fly as aggressively as you want from almost any surface. You can even install the included leading-edge slats for improved slow flight performance, or the optional floats (EFL5261, sold separately) so you can fly from water.

All-Day & All-Night LED Lighting
All-Day & All-Night LED Lighting

The Night Timber X 1.2m comes alive with factory-installed LED lights embedded throughout its airframe, allowing you to fly brilliantly day or night. These lights are powered by your 3S or 4S 2200–3200mAh flight battery and can be easily disconnected for daytime flights. It also features realistic landing, navigation, and strobe lights.

Enhanced Exclusive Technologies

This Night Timber X 1.2m is packed with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X works in the background to smooth out wind effects, providing a locked-in feel. Optional SAFE Select offers pitch/bank limits and self-levelling, making this a much easier plane to fly, all switchable for your convenience.

Integrated Smart Technology

The Night Timber X 1.2m boasts an exclusive Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC, providing vital real-time telemetry data like motor RPM, current, and battery voltage. View this info via compatible Spektrum receivers and AirWare™ equipped transmitters as you fly. It even includes motor reversing for special ground handling.

Extreme Manoeuvrability
Extreme Manoeuvrability

Experience incredible agility with the Night Timber X 1.2m! Its wing design features a shorter span, much larger ailerons and flaps, plus an enlarged elevator and rudder for extreme 3D aerobatic capability. Double-bevelled hinge lines allow high deflection on all control surfaces, including flaps that move both ways, allowing for wild or mild flight.

Extra Power System
Extra Power System

The factory-installed brushless power system features a 60-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart ESC, a specially-tuned motor, and propeller. This combination delivers plenty of thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or provides even more power and vertical performance with a 4S battery, all without needing any modifications.

Extremely Durable Build

Built with composite-reinforced, hollow-core EPO material, the Night Timber X 1.2m offers a lightweight yet incredibly durable airframe, maintaining the same flying weight as the original Timber X, even with the added LEDs. It's also equipped with high-torque, metal-geared servos and the original model's shock-absorbing landing gear with oversized tundra-style wheels for aggressive flying from almost any surface.

With a shorter wingspan yet similar wing area to the original Timber 1.5m, plus drooped wingtips and optional leading-edge slats, the Night Timber X 1.2m excels in Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) performance. These features, combined with its lightweight design, oversized flaps, and high-power system, allow it to take off or land in as little as two feet (0.6m) or less.

Optional Floats for Water Fun
