Product Description
Turbo Timber SWS 2.0m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select
Introduction
E-flite Timber models have become some of the most popular and best-selling RC aircraft of all time.
Known for their friendly handling, Short Take Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities, and sporty flight
performance, they're some of the best all-around fun-to-fly models for a wide range of pilots. The
E-flite Turbo Timber SWS (Sport Wood Series) 2.0m is the largest Timber model from E-flite yet, plus it
offers the advantages of lightweight, stiff and strong wood construction to deliver flight performance
unlike similar class foam models. It's available in an ARF version that bolts together and is ready for
installation of your preferred power system and electronics, or in a BNF Basic version that's equipped
with six factory-installed servos, a 4S to 6S compatible Spektrum Avian motor and Smart ESC, plus an
8-channel receiver with AS3X and SAFE Select technologies.

Overview
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!

Skill Level 2 – Some Experience
Required
Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have some
experience and the skills to assemble, set up and fly similar class models. And although
this BNF Basic version is equipped with optional-use SAFE Select, it's not a suitable
first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots, or "next step after a trainer" model for low-time RC
pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly STOL-capable
and/or larger models like the E-flite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m, Carbon-Z Cessna 150T
2.1m, Carbon-Z Cub SS 2.1m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the Turbo
Timber SWS 2.0m.

Smart Technology
The Turbo Timber SWS 2.0m is equipped with an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart ESC that can
provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data, including motor RPM,
current draw, battery voltage, and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries –
via compatible receivers (including the factory-installed AR8360T) and Spektrum AirWare
equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20,
iX12 to 20, and others) while you fly.

Flexible Power
The factory-installed Spektrum Avian brushless outrunner motor is 4S to 6S compatible to
offer a wide range of “mild to wild” performance – from sport flying and basic
aerobatics with 4S batteries to hovering and unlimited vertical performance with 6S
batteries! Plus, the convenient top-mounted and magnetically secured hatch cover makes it
easy to install and remove common and popular 3200–7000mAh batteries.

Wood Airframe
The balsa and lite-ply airframe is lightweight yet stiff and strong to offer a flying
experience you can't get with molded foam models! Best of all it arrives mostly
factory-assembled and finished in genuine UltraCote film covering. Plus, the BNF Basic
version also includes durable, factory-installed metal-geared and digital Spektrum A6380
servos. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't
repair them, a full line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.

Easy Assembly
The BNF Basic version Turbo Timber SWS 2.0m arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power
system, servos, and receiver installed. The ARF version is also mostly factory-assembled so
all you need to do is finish some quick and easy final bolt-together assembly –
without glue or special tools – and you'll be ready to fly in less time compared to
almost all other wood models!

Scale-Like Features
Like other Timber models, the Turbo Timber SWS is equipped with realistic-looking LED landing
and navigation lights that are factory-installed and powered by the flight battery. And
although it's not a scale model, it also features transparent windows for added scale-like
looks.

Uniquely Capable
The Turbo Timber SWS 2.0m is based on the design of the very popular Turbo Timber 1.5m
models. But it also features the benefits of strong and stiff built-up wood construction
that makes it capable of even sportier performance with excellent high-speed handling and
amazing aerobatic capabilities. 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 improved STOL capabilities.

Versatile Gear Options
From thick grass to gravel paths and dirt trails—even local lakes and ponds—you can easily
fly off of these and many other surfaces with the Turbo Timber SWS 2.0m. The simple yet
durable aluminum landing gear is equipped with oversized, tundra-style wheels/tires to soak
up the bumps of rough surfaces. Plus, the optional Carbon-Z float (EFLA5600; sold
separately) and mounting (EFLA5605; sold separately) sets make it easy to swap between
wheels and floats depending on where you choose to fly!
