Night Timber X Evolution 1.2m PNP

E-flite Night Timber X Evolution 1.2m Introduction

The original Night Timber X 1.2m combined the STOL capabilities of the Timber 1.5m models with unique features to offer 3D aerobatic capabilities and high-visibility LED lights throughout the airframe for day and night flying! Now, the updated and improved E-flite Night Timber X Evolution 1.2 m adds some of the most requested features, such as: a top hatch for easier and faster battery changes, stronger main landing gear mounts and heavy-duty springs, combined electrical connectors for simpler installation and removal from the wing and many more to make it more durable, practical and high-performing than ever. This makes it a perfect choice for intermediate to experienced pilots looking for a unique blend of STOL, aerobatics and night flying capabilities that you can't get with any other model!

E-flite Night Timber X Evolution 1.2m Overview

The E-flite Timber X 1.2m has ushered in a new era of STOL and 3D aerobatic capability. Based on the extremely popular Timber 1.5m models, but featuring a different wing design and oversized control surfaces, it offered an even wider flight envelope for a "soft to wild" experience. In addition to the standard LED landing, navigation and strobe lights, the Night Timber X Evolution 1.2m features high-visibility LED lights integrated throughout the airframe, making it possible to fly at any time, day or night! It also features numerous upgrades and improvements over the original Night Timber X, including a top hatch for quicker and easier battery changes, and combined electrical connectors for simpler installation and removal from the wing. Reinforced landing gear mounts and stronger springs, similar to those on the Twin Timber 1.6 m, enhance durability and STOL capability when flying over rough terrain.

Both versions feature updated, more reliable metal-geared servos, a compatible 3S and 4S 2,200-3,200 mAh motor with a new, stronger mounting design, and a higher-capacity 70-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC. The basic BNF Basic version is equipped with a factory-installed AR631+ receiver featuring exclusive and enhanced AS3X+ technology, as well as SAFE Select as an option. The receiver also provides real-time telemetry, such as: overall battery voltage, current and much more, to compatible transmitters - with Smart and non-Smart batteries - as well as motor/thrust reversal for special ground evolutions and other capabilities. EPO hollow-core construction with composite reinforcement results in a lightweight yet sturdy airframe that makes it capable of handling extreme aerobatic maneuvers while keeping the wing loading low for impressive short take-off and landing (STOL) and slow-flight performance. You can even install the included leading edge battens to enhance slow-flight performance, or the optional floats (sold separately) so you can fly from the water day and night too!

Skill level 3 - Experience required

Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already possess the skills needed to assemble, configure and fly models of a similar class. This PNP version requires more experience and skill to assemble and fly than the BNF Basic version, as you'll need to install a receiver that doesn't already include properly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. You must have the experience and skills to successfully assemble and fly models such as the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1 m, Valiant 1.2 m, Commander mPd 1.4 m, Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5 m or other models of similar class before attempting to fly the Night Timber X Evolution 1.2 m PNP version.

Plug-N-Play® finish

The Plug-N-Play (PNP) version comes with a factory-installed power supply and servos ready for connection to the compatible receiver of your choice (sold separately), as well as the transmitter and battery you supply (also sold separately). Simply install the receiver, complete the final assembly and fly!

Easy assembly

No glue is needed for assembly, and as the few parts that do need to be assembled bolt together easily, the Night Timber X Evolution can be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge the flight battery. The two-part wing, now with combined servo and LED connectors, also makes transport and storage more convenient than ever before.

eXtra LED

Factory-installed LED lights are integrated throughout the airframe, enabling day and night flight! They are conveniently powered by the 3S or 4S flight battery from 2,200 to 3,200mAh and can easily be disconnected during a daylight flight. What's more, like the other Timbers, the Night Timber X Evolution 1.2 m is also equipped with realistic LED landing, navigation and strobe lights.

Extreme handling

The Night Timber X Evolution 1.2 m features a wing design with a shortened span, much larger ailerons and flaps, and enlarged elevator and rudder, compared to the Timber 1.5 m models. Double-bevel hinge lines allow all control surfaces, including flaps which can move in either direction, to be deflected to high angles for exceptional control and extreme 3D aerobatic capability. Or, at low speeds, the controls can be soft and docile so you can fly smoothly, or set more aggressively if you wish!

eXtra Power

The factory-installed brushless power system includes a 70-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite controller and a specially tuned motor and propeller that provide abundant thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or extra power and unlimited vertical performance with a 4S battery without the need for modifications or upgrades. What's more, the more convenient top hatch and larger battery compartment make it easy to install batteries from 3S 2200mAh to 4S 3200mAh for more performance and flight time.

eXtremely durable

Hollow-core composite construction reinforced with EPO material offers a lightweight yet durable airframe. The Night Timber X Evolution 1.2 m also features updated, more reliable metal gear servos for precise control, however you fly it.

Versatile equipment options

You can take off from thick grass, gravel paths, dirt trails - even local lakes and ponds - and many other surfaces inaccessible to most models of this size. Stronger, reinforced fuselage supports, plus cushioned landing gear with stronger springs similar to the Twin Timber 1.6 m, absorb the bumps of rough surfaces during hazardous landings. And oversized tundra-style wheels and tires provide excellent clearance for the propeller. The optional float kit (sold separately) includes two water rudders for perfect steering control. Whichever equipment option you choose to fly with, both are easy to install and can be replaced in minutes.

STOL (short take-off and landing) compatible

The wing design has a shorter span but almost as much wing area as the 1.5 m Timber models, plus it features drooping wingtips and can be fitted with the optional leading edge slats for improved slow flight and STOL performance. These features: oversized flaps, high-power brushless power system and lightweight design make it possible to take to the air very quickly or "float" to land in a very short distance.
