E-flite Night Timber X Evolution 1.2m BNF Basic with AS3X+ and SAFE Select

Introduction

The original Night Timber X 1.2m brought together the STOL capabilities of the Timber 1.5m models with unique features, delivering 3D aerobatic capabilities alongside high-visibility LED lights for flying all day AND all night! The updated and upgraded E-flite Night Timber X Evolution 1.2m now includes the most requested features:

• A top-mounted hatch for easier and faster battery changes
• Stronger main landing gear mounts and heavy-duty springs
• Combined connectors for simpler wing installation and removal

These updates make it more durable, convenient, and capable than ever, making it the perfect choice for intermediate to experienced pilots seeking a unique combination of STOL, aerobatic, and night flying capabilities.

Overview

The E-flite Timber X 1.2m introduced a new era of STOL plus 3D and aerobatic capability. Based on the popular Timber 1.5m models but featuring a different wing design and oversized control surfaces, it offers an even wider flight envelope for a truly "mild to wild" flying experience.

Key Features of the Night Timber X Evolution 1.2m:

• Integrated high-visibility LED lights throughout the airframe for flying day OR night.
• Top hatch for faster and easier battery changes.
• Combined connectors for simpler wing installation and removal.
• Strengthened landing gear mounts and heavier-duty springs (similar to the Twin Timber 1.6m) for improved durability and STOL capability on rough terrain.

Both versions of the Night Timber X Evolution 1.2m are equipped with:

• Updated and more reliable metal-geared servos.
• A 3S and 4S 2200–3200mAh compatible motor with a stronger mounting design.
• A 70-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC for higher capacity and real-time telemetry.

The BNF Basic version includes a factory-installed AR631+ receiver with exclusive AS3X+ and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. This receiver provides real-time telemetry, including battery voltage, current, and more, to compatible transmitters. It also supports motor/thrust reversing for special ground handling capabilities.

Constructed with hollow-core EPO and composite reinforcement, the airframe is lightweight yet strong, enabling extreme aerobatics while maintaining low wing loading for impressive STOL and slow flight performance. Additionally, you can install the included leading-edge slats for enhanced slow-flight capabilities or add optional floats (sold separately) to enjoy flying from water all day AND all night.
