E-flite Turbo Timber SWS (Sport Wood Series) 2.0m

The Turbo Timber® SWS (Sport Wood Series) 2.0m is the largest E-flite Timber model yet! It’s based on the design of the foam Turbo Timber 1.5m models but features strong, stiff and lightweight built-up wood construction. The balsa and lite-ply airframe arrives factory-finished with genuine UltraCote® film covering and is mostly factory assembled so you can have it flying in almost no time — without the use of glue or special tools. A two-piece wing makes it easier to store and transport, and it’s equipped with functional flaps for shorter takeoffs and landings along with improved low-speed performance. Plus you have the option to utilize crow and/or full-span flaperons for even better STOL capabilities. The BNF® (Bind-N-Fly®) Basic version is equipped with six factory-installed digital and metal-geared Spektrum A6380 servos, a 4S to 6S compatible Avian 5055-500Kv outrunner motor, and a 100-amp Smart ESC that can provide a variety of power system related telemetry data with Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters. It’s also equipped with an AR8360T receiver that provides full-range, real-time telemetry data including overall battery voltage, current draw, ESC temp, and more — plus motor reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities — along with the benefits of AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. Or, the ARF (Almost Ready-To-Fly) version is ready for installation of the electronics and power system you prefer! Both versions feature simple and durable aluminum landing gear with oversized tundra-style wheels and are also ready to accept the optional Carbon-Z Float and Mounting Sets (both sold separately). They also feature factory-installed LED navigation and landing lights along with transparent windows for added scale-like looks, and a convenient top hatch for fast and easy battery changes. And it all combines to make this a great first-ever “wood”, everyday sport flying and aerobatic capable, plus large-scale Timber model for intermediate to experienced pilots!

Yes, more wood models please, in 4S size

[Mike.-hris]

I've got to have this one!!! I bought the first 1.5m Timber when I came out.. It's 400+ flights in and going strong with only servo upgrades and is easily the best flying and stable airframe ive flown... This one being balsa has got to fly like a stick of butter....

[stevelhamon]

Please bring back some of the classic planes in this series! Kaos, Skylark and many others.

[ModelAVRChannel]

Awesome airplane! Bigger flies better, and in this case... so does Balsa!

[BashTillBroken]

Price seems a bit high for a balsa even but if it’s truly as beefy as I have been told it will be worth it and we should also consider it’s a 6s system and hand built compared to injection foam and the time to design it from the ground up structuraly wise. So considering that the price is reasonable. Can’t wait to see more balsa modes from eflite/HH
Or maybe even some fiberglass or wood edf’s.

[stevelhamon]

I would like to see a wood Kaos! I would also like to see a E flite FPV aircraft!

[JAREDSCHUMANN]

Would like to see the 30cc timber come back

[PhilBender]

Oh Wow! The Timber is now a Balsa model too, this looks great HH.

Hello Horizon, thank you for adding the 2.0m Turbo Timber to your fleet. I very much appreciate you offering it in the sport wood series. I have a hangar of float planes that I have converted over to electric over the past few years and wanted to add a Turbo Timber (Beaver) style model to the fleet. Your Turbo Timber on order it will fit in just
Thanks again for your time, effort and commitment to our hobby.

[NeedSpeedRC]

A different scheme would have been nice To differentiate from the foam. But balsa is great!

[miksterr]

Some multi-pin connectors for all the wing / servo & light plugs would have been nice.

[brookekathryn]

Can you bring back the yak 54 carbon Z!

[Hanger]

we really want a carbon Z cub ss made from balsa! 
these are going to sell like hot cake..

If you don't like this release please be considerate and respectful if you comment here! You may not like it, but there are many people who do (see the many positive comments here so far!). And for those who might have the urge to think/say we "never release anything different!", keep in mind this may be "another Timber" – all of which are all-time best sellers because so many people like and buy them (and often buy multiples of them...just like Cubs, Sticks, P-51s, T-28s, F-16s, etc.!) – but it's also WOOD and there are no other ARF models like this that can be assembled without glue...nor are there any other wood BNF models available that are anything like this! Also, the second paragraph below is a good reminder:

We typically release upwards of two dozen new airplane models each year, from ultra micro to giant scale, from trainers and STOL-capable models to warbirds and jets. Around half or more of those are ALL-NEW designs, and the remainder are usually NEW updates/upgrades of previously available models. We try to "sequence" them so we don't announce/release too many updated/upgraded versions of previous models in a row, but that's not always possible.

And if anyone doesn't like our recent, this or any future announcements/releases, they should wait a few weeks to see what the next one is...because it could be COMPLETELY different and something they like/want much more! We've got some ALL-NEW jets, civilian scale, STOL, 3D, sport and other models – in foam and wood – in the works and coming soon.

[MayorOfStupidTown]

Absolutely love this!!! The color scheme looks beautiful in balsa. I already have the umx, 1.5m, and the 110” timber. I will definitely have this one soon!

[aragorn]

You guys need to come out with a new Timber X with top-loading hatch and improved gear!

[johnsonsthsquadron]

This is just amazing!! Outstanding work Horizon!

[ramonmedina]

Cool everyday model.
Not too small and made of wood!
Looks very valuable!

[coastrnut]

I like this - but - oh my poor bank account! Will have to wait and see what the Tax refund looks like! :)
