The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: A Decade of STOL Dominance Celebrated! For the past ten years, the E-flite Timber has been the undisputed standard for everyday park flying and Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities. To celebrate this incredible milestone, E-flite has released the 10-Year Anniversary Edition, and the Hobby Hideaway Team couldn't be more excited. This special edition brings back the magic of the original with an exclusive, eye-catching anniversary trim scheme, while hiding all the modern, cutting-edge Smart technology under the hood. Whether you are a newer pilot looking for a forgiving trainer or a seasoned veteran wanting a relaxing, go-anywhere bush plane, this anniversary edition is an absolute must-have for your hangar.
Modern Tech Meets Classic Versatility While it pays homage to the original, this Anniversary Edition is packed with current-generation electronics. It features a Spektrum Avian Smart ESC that delivers real-time telemetry data to compatible transmitters, and a factory-installed receiver equipped with AS3X technology to smooth out windy days. It also includes the optional SAFE Select flight envelope protection, making it incredibly accessible for pilots still mastering their skills. True to the Timber legacy, it boasts massive slotted flaps, optional-use leading-edge slats, and rugged, shock-absorbing landing gear with oversized tundra tires that can handle the roughest dirt patches and grass fields.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Exclusive Anniversary Styling: Features a unique, highly visible 10-Year Anniversary trim scheme to stand out at the flying field and celebrate a decade of the Timber legacy.
Bind-N-Fly Basic: Comes with a factory-installed Spektrum receiver featuring AS3X smoothing and optional SAFE Select flight envelope protection.
Smart Electronics: Equipped with a Spektrum Avian Smart ESC that provides real-time telemetry (like battery voltage) and supports both 3S and 4S LiPo setups.
Legendary STOL Performance: Features functional slotted flaps, oversized control surfaces, and optional leading-edge slats for incredibly slow flight and short takeoffs.
Rugged Tundra Gear: Includes heavy-duty shock-absorbing landing gear and oversized, balloon-style tundra tires for conquering unpaved, rough runways.
Scale LED Lighting: Pre-installed with super-bright LED navigation, landing, and strobe lights for improved scale realism and twilight flying.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: This kit includes optional leading-edge slats that you can install on the wings. If your goal is to perform extreme STOL maneuvers and fly at a walking pace, we highly recommend installing them! However, before you break out the permanent CA glue, try attaching them temporarily with a few strips of clear, high-quality RC tape. This allows you to test out the drastically slower flight envelope and increased lift. If you find you prefer the slightly faster roll rate and sportier feel without them, you can easily pull the tape off without ruining your beautiful Anniversary Edition paint job!
