The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: The Ultimate All-Terrain STOL Bush Plane! If you want an aircraft that can take off from a gravel driveway, touch down in a grassy field, and perform aggressive aerobatics in between, the E-flite Super Timber 1.7m is in a class of its own. The Timber lineup has always been legendary for its Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities, but this "Super" version takes things to a massive new level. The Hobby Hideaway Team loves this plane because it delivers that giant-scale presence in the air while featuring a brilliantly engineered, shock-absorbing landing gear system that turns the roughest terrain into a smooth runway.
Extreme Capability Meets Everyday Practicality The heart of the Super Timber’s off-road dominance is its articulated suspension landing gear paired with oversized, inflatable-style tundra tires. You can quite literally drop this plane onto uneven surfaces without bouncing or bending the gear. In the air, the massive control surfaces and functional slotted flaps give you the ability to fly at a crawl, while the 4S to 6S compatible brushless power system provides enough thrust to pull straight out of a hover. Because this is a Plug-N-Play (PNP) version, the potent motor, ESC, and servos are all factory-installed, leaving you the freedom to drop in your preferred receiver and get flying faster.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Unmatched STOL Performance: Features oversized slotted flaps and optional-use leading-edge slats for incredibly slow flight and ultra-short takeoffs.
Articulated Suspension Gear: Equipped with a rugged, shock-absorbing landing gear system and massive tundra tires to conquer grass, dirt, and gravel.
4S–6S Compatible Power: Includes a high-power brushless outrunner motor and a Spektrum Avian Smart ESC, giving you the choice between smooth cruising on 4S or unlimited vertical performance on 6S.
Plug-N-Play Convenience: Comes factory-assembled with the power system and metal-geared servos installed; just add your receiver and battery.
LED Lighting System: Features integrated, super-bright LED navigation, landing, and strobe lights for improved visibility and scale realism.
Durable EPO Construction: Molded from lightweight but incredibly tough EPO foam, featuring composite reinforcements for a rigid airframe under heavy G-loads.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: When you are setting up the Super Timber on your radio, take the time to program an elevator-to-flap mix! Because the oversized slotted flaps generate an immense amount of lift, the nose of the plane will naturally want to pitch up aggressively when you drop full flaps for a STOL landing. By programming a mix that automatically feeds in a small amount of "down elevator" when the flaps are deployed, the plane will maintain a perfectly level, predictable glide path, allowing you to butter those ultra-slow landings every single time!
