EVOLUTION OF A LEGEND
Many RC pilots got their first taste of flying a Short Take Off and Landing (STOL) capable airplane with the original E-flite Timber 1.5m model. Its friendly handling, nimble sport performance, and takeoff-and-land-almost-anywhere abilities made it one of the most popular RC aircraft of all time — widely acclaimed and highly recommended as a great “next step” after a trainer, as the perfect first STOL-capable aircraft, and as one of the best all-around, fun-to-fly models for a wide range of pilots. Its next evolution, the Turbo Timber 1.5m, proved even more popular than the original with the addition of metal-geared servos, a 3S and 4S compatible power system, plus a turboprop-styled nose and 3-blade propeller. Now comes the Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, ready to continue the Timber legend with new upgrades that deliver more durability, convenience, and capabilities than ever before — plus a fresh and modern look!
The E-flite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m has evolved to become the Smartest, most convenient, capable, and durable mid-sized Timber yet! Popular features from the original Timber are all there: the shock-absorbing landing gear with oversized, tundra-style wheels; optional-use float set and leading edge slats; functional slotted flaps; and an LED lighting system with landing, navigation, and strobe lights. So are the enhancements that gave the Turbo Timber more performance and capabilities, including a turboprop-styled nose, 3-blade prop and spinner, a more powerful 3S and 4S compatible power system, and a stiffer wing with durable, reliable metal-geared servos. Now the Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m adds a top hatch for faster, easier battery changes, plus combined connectors for simpler wing installation and removal. Strengthened landing gear mounts along with heavier duty springs from the Twin Timber 1.6m improve the model’s durability and STOL capability when flying from rough terrain. The proven Turbo Timber power system is upgraded with an exclusive Spektrum Avian 70-amp Smart Lite ESC, and the BNF Basic version is equipped with an AR637TA receiver to provide full-range, real-time telemetry data including overall battery voltage, current, motor RPM and more — plus motor/thrust reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities — along with the benefits of AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. There’s even a fresh, modern trim scheme for the durable, composite-reinforced airframe. The Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m remains the best “next step”, everyday sport, and STOL-capable model for a wide range of pilots — only it’s now better than ever!

- Bolt-on, two-piece wing with carbon fiber wing joiner
- Stiffened wing for improved aileron authority, roll rates and handling
- Includes optional-use floats with steerable rudders for flying from water
- Functional and factory-installed LED landing, navigation and strobe lights
- Fly this model in the RealFlight Evolution RC flight simulator
Versatile Gear Options
Thick grass, gravel paths, dirt trails — even local lakes and ponds — you can fly off of these and many other surfaces that are impossible for most models of this size to handle. The stronger, reinforced mounts in the fuselage, plus shock-absorbing landing gear equipped with the heavier-duty springs from the Twin Timber 1.6m (new for 2024), soak up the bumps of rough surfaces and not-so-great landings. And the oversized, tundra-style wheels and tires provide excellent prop clearance. The included float set features dual water rudders for superb steering control. Whichever gear option you choose to fly with, both are easy to install and can be swapped out in minutes.
STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) Capable
The Turbo Timber Evolution’s wing is designed with features like drooped wingtips and functional slotted flaps, and to accept the 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 as little as a few feet or less.
Versatile Power
The factory-installed brushless power system features a Spektrum Avian 70-amp Smart Lite ESC (new for 2024) along with a specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop that deliver an abundance of thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or more power and unlimited vertical performance with a 4S battery without the need for any modifications or upgrades. Plus, the more convenient top hatch and larger battery compartment makes it easier to fit batteries from 3S 2200mAh to 4S 5000mAh to achieve a wide variety of performance and flight times.
Versatile Durability
Composite-reinforced, hollow-core construction with EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe. The Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m also features a stiffened wing that improves aileron authority and roll rates, plus it’s equipped with durable and reliable metal-geared servos all around.
LED Lights
Like the original, the Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m comes with realistic-looking LED landing, navigation and strobe lights that are factory-installed and powered from the flight battery.
Easy Assembly
No glue is required for assembly, and because the few parts that need to be assembled easily bolt into place, the Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m can be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge the flight battery. The two-piece wing, now featuring combined servo and LED connectors, also makes transport and storage more convenient than ever before.

Great plane, but quality control checks are mediocre. I've ordered 3 of these planes (lost one to a tree). Two of the 3 were perfect without quality issues. Unfortunately in one of them the elevator servo was installed in reverse direction, which resulted in a crash. Amazon kindly offered a free exchange for the broken plane.Anyone who buys the plane, I recommend doing a thorough control check for all the servos. It's possible one is installed in reverse direction, which can destroy the plane.

This plane is just a joy to fly, it’s so stable and easy to control with and without safe. Using a 2200mah 4s pack from spectrum and doing slow passes I got about 15 minutes of flight time. And then when staying at about 70%-100% throttle I got 10 minutes of flight time. With the updated ESC I don’t have to worry about overheating issues which is nice and it comes with floats.

I’m very disappointed in Horizon’s quality control on the TTE. The first airplane had very weak control joints and bubbling all over. One STOL landing resulted in the rudder separating from the fuselage. The plastic motor mount cracked and no replacements are available so I had to 3D print my own. Due to the weak control joints Horizon sent me a new fuselage and $70 in credits.After less than 20 flights, 3 out of 4 wing servo arm screws were missing. I only found out because a flap failed and then I inspected the other 3 servos by unsealing the inspection panels.After the second slew of defects were found, Horizon sent me a total replacement. I don’t want to go into the fine details of my interactions with Horizon service but they have been very on the fence about replacements and told me different things every time I talked to them. It was a frustrating experience and I could tell the CSRs (who are mostly hobbyists themselves) want to do right by their customers but are impeded by management.The replacement arrived quickly. It flies, but the finish quality is horrible. Among peeling decals, it also has a glaringly noticeable bubble spanning the entire leading edge of a whole wing. Smooth airflow — what’s that?This plane is a good flyer after some advanced setup (control throw adjustment mostly in the elevator) but I cannot abide by the miserably bad quality control and Horizon’s back-and-forth stance on replacements.I will not be recommending this plane to people without major caveats.
