E-flite Timber 1.5m 10-Year Anniversary Edition User Manual

Quick Guide from the Manual

The E-flite Timber 1.5m 10-Year Anniversary Edition is a high-performance RC aircraft. Before your first flight, ensure you have a compatible 6+ channel transmitter with Spektrum DSM2/DSMX technology and a 4S 3200mAh 30C LiPo battery. Always perform a range check and verify control surface directions before flying.

Model Assembly

Landing Gear Installation: Insert the landing gear assembly into the fuselage pocket and secure it using the provided M2.5 x 10mm machine screws. Attach the spring assemblies to the plastic bracket in the fuselage using M3 x 16mm self-tapping screws and brass stepped washers.

Horizontal Stabilizer: Slide the joiner (A) into the fuselage. Install the stabilizer halves, ensuring the control horn faces down, and secure with 2.5 x 12mm self-tapping screws.

Propeller Installation: Slide the adapter onto the motor shaft and secure with M2.5 x 8mm screws. Install the propeller, washer, and nut, then secure the spinner with the M3 x 8mm screw.

Wing Assembly: Insert the wing joiner tube into the left wing, slide the halves together, and secure the wing to the fuselage using M6 x 30mm nylon bolts.

Transmitter Setup

The receiver includes a pre-loaded Smart Transmitter File (STF) for quick setup on compatible Spektrum transmitters (NX, iX series). For manual setup, ensure the wing type is set to 1 Ail 1 Flap and the tail type to Normal. Configure Dual Rates and Expo as specified in the manual for Aileron, Elevator, and Rudder.

SAFE Select Technology

SAFE Select provides flight protection with bank angle limits and self-leveling. It is enabled or disabled during the binding process. You can assign a switch to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X+ modes.

Battery and ESC

Install the battery in the center of the compartment to achieve the recommended Center of Gravity (CG) of 60mm ± 6mm from the leading edge. Always power on the transmitter first, then connect the battery to the ESC. The ESC will initialize with a series of tones.

Flying Tips

Always take off and land into the wind. Use partial flaps for takeoff and full flaps for landing to shorten distances. If the motor power decreases, land immediately as this indicates the Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) has been triggered.

Maintenance and Repairs

The aircraft is constructed from EPO foam, which can be repaired using standard adhesives like CA or epoxy. After flying, disconnect the battery, power off the transmitter, and store the battery at storage voltage.
