Introduction

The E-flite® UMX Turbo Timber Evolution is a scaled-down ultra-micro version of the extremely popular Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m! It's also an updated and upgraded version of the best-selling UMX Turbo Timber that features a reinforced airframe and stronger linkages to handle the added power, performance, and capability the new 2S and 3S compatible power system delivers. It's equipped with LED landing, navigation, and strobe lights, delivers real-time battery voltage and other telemetry to compatible transmitters, plus it can be equipped with the optional UMX floats (sold separately). And because of its ultra-micro size, the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution can be flown outdoors in many yards, parks, and sports fields – or even indoors in gymnasiums and other suitable spaces! It's affordable, convenient, capable – and easy to fly – which makes it a great choice for a wide range of pilots interested in a flying experience they can't get with any other model.

Overview

For low-time to experienced pilots interested in an ultra-micro sized version of the incredibly popular Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, the E-flite® UMX Turbo Timber Evolution is an easy-to-fly, smooth handling, STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) capable airplane with unmatched fly-anywhere versatility! It's also an updated and upgraded version of the UMX Turbo Timber that now features a 2S and 3S compatible power system for added power and capability — especially when using popular and affordable 3S 300mAh batteries for unlimited vertical performance! Plus it can perform inverted flight, knife edge, snaps, spins and other advanced aerobatic maneuvers with ease. Functional oversized flaps, along with the optional-use leading-edge slats, offer improved STOL and slow flight performance. Equipped with oversized tundra-style tires like its predecessor, the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution can take off and land on grass and other rough surfaces due to the landing gear design that secures the fairings to the fuselage. Experienced pilots can fly it indoors in spaces as small as a single basketball court, and almost anyone who's mastered flying at least one other airplane before can fly it successfully outdoors in large yards, small parks, sports fields, at RC flying fields and almost anywhere else! Install the optional floats (sold separately) and you can add large pools, small ponds, and lakes to your flying site options. Included LED landing, navigation and simulated strobe lights add to the fun and make it possible to fly from earlier to even later in the day. Best of all, the reinforced airframe with stronger ball-link equipped linkages arrives 100% factory-assembled — and is ready to fly as soon as you charge up a battery and bind the installed Spektrum receiver to your compatible transmitter!

SAFE technology

Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage

Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly and fly!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuring AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence so you enjoy a sense of stability and precision that makes it feel like you're flying a much larger, expertly tuned aircraft.

If this is your first model of its type, or you want an extra margin of safety while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection technology built into the receiver. No programming is required.


With SAFE Select enabled, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits

  • These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also prevent excessive climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling

  • The airplane instantly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the center position. It's also helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Switch Assignment—No Complex Programming Required

  • The simple procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't require any complex programming and takes just a few seconds. For UMX models like this one, SAFE Select is automatically assigned to channel 5 (Gear) so you can turn it on and off with any switch assigned to that channel (switch A by default on most Spektrum computer transmitters).
  • Incredible Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) plus sport flying and aerobatic capabilities
  • Uniquely capable and versatile so it can be flown in more places and smaller spaces
  • 2S and 3S compatible motor and ESC for a wide range of mild to wild performance
  • Easier to fly with optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope protection
  • Functional and factory-installed LED landing, navigation and strobe lights

Telemetry Capable

The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution is equipped with a control unit/flight controller that includes an ESC and Spektrum receiver that provides real-time flight battery voltage telemetry to compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, the iX12, iX14, iX20 and others) while you fly.

 

Exclusive Technologies

This ultra-micro Turbo Timber Evolution is equipped with exclusive Spektrum AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make it easier to fly!

 

Flexible Power

The factory-installed brushless outrunner motor is 2S and 3S compatible to offer a wide range of "mild to wild" performance – from slow cruising to maximize flight time, to hovering and unlimited vertical performance!

 

Versatile Gear Options
Versatile Gear Options

Fly off surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size to handle: grass, gravel paths, dirt trails, paved surfaces — even pools, ponds and lakes using the optional floats (EFLUA1190, sold separately). The landing gear has fairings that are secured to the fuselage and oversized, tundra-style tires soak up bumps and provide excellent prop clearance.

 

STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) Capable
STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) Capable

The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution's wing is designed with features like drooped wingtips, functional oversized flaps, and to accept optional-use leading edge slats (included) for improved slow flight and STOL performance. These features, along with the lightweight design and high-power brushless motor, make it possible to spring into the air or float down to land in less distance than any other similar class model!

 

LED Lights

Like the UMX Timber models that came before it, the Turbo Timber Evolution comes with realistic-looking LED landing, navigation and simulated strobe lights that are factory-installed and powered from the flight battery.

 

Durable Design

The reinforced airframe with stronger, more precise ball-link equipped linkages is lightweight yet durable. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.

The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box! It's equipped with industry leading Spektrum® 2.4GHz technology that binds to your 6+ channel DSMX®/DSM2® equipped transmitter so you can be flying within minutes of opening the box.
