Product Features
STOL in Small Spaces
The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution uses functional flaps, optional leading‑edge slats, and oversized tires to lift off and land in very short distances. That means more flying sites, from small parks to rough grass and gravel.
Assisted Stability, On Demand
Spektrum AS3X stabilization smooths turbulence, while optional SAFE Select adds self‑leveling and bank limits. It makes the E‑flite Timber series, including the UMX Turbo Timber, approachable for more pilots.
2S/3S Power + Telemetry
A 2S/3S‑compatible brushless system lets you cruise or go “mild to wild” with the same airframe. Compatible Spektrum radios can display real‑time battery voltage telemetry while you fly.
LED Lights for Visibility
Factory‑installed landing, navigation, and strobe LEDs improve orientation and extend your flying window into early mornings and late evenings. They are powered directly from the flight battery for simplicity.
Float‑Ready, Multi‑Surface Flying
Optional UMX floats let the UMX Turbo Timber operate from pools, ponds, and lakes, in addition to fields and parks. This flexibility broadens where you can enjoy E‑flite Timber models.

FAQ
What is a UMX RC plane and why choose one?
UMX RC planes are ultra‑micro models designed for easy transport, quick setup, and flying in smaller spaces. They’re lightweight yet feature-rich, making them ideal for park flying and calm‑day backyard sessions. Popular options like the E-flite Timber in UMX size deliver STOL capability, flaps, and lights in a compact package, so you get big‑plane features without the hassle.
What’s the difference between the UMX Turbo Timber and the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution?
Both are ultra‑micro STOL airplanes with flaps, tundra tires, and LED nav lights. The UMX Turbo Timber Evolution adds updated electronics and tuning for crisper control and stronger overall performance, while keeping the same fun Timber character. Many pilots also note the Evolution supports broader battery options and refined durability details. If you want the latest tweaks and more headroom, choose the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution; for proven value, the original UMX Turbo Timber still shines.
Is the UMX Turbo Timber good for beginners?
Yes, the UMX Turbo Timber and UMX Turbo Timber Evolution include AS3X stabilization with optional SAFE Select that can smooth out gusts and limit bank/ pitch for confidence while learning. They fly slowly, handle short fields well, and are forgiving when properly set up. That said, they’re best for beginners who’ve done a little sim time or have guidance. Start with SAFE on, low rates, and calm conditions to build skills quickly.
What batteries do these UMX Timber models use?
UMX Turbo Timber typically flies on small 2S LiPo packs, while the UMX Turbo Timber Evolution is designed to run on 2S and also supports 3S for extra punch. Choose reputable micro packs and follow the manual for connector type and recommended capacity. For longest lifespan and consistent performance, use a balance charger, store packs at storage voltage, and match battery weight to the airframe so the CG stays correct.
Can the E-flite Timber UMX take off from short grass or rough fields?
Yes. The UMX Turbo Timber and UMX Turbo Timber Evolution are STOL‑focused with functional flaps, effective high‑lift aerodynamics, and oversized tundra wheels, so short‑grass takeoffs and landings are a core strength. They can also operate from hard-packed dirt or pavement, and many pilots add optional floats for water takeoffs to expand flying sites.
How long does it fly and how far is the control range?
Typical flight times are about 5–10 minutes depending on battery size, throttle use, and wind; cruising on lower throttle stretches flights, while 3S setups on the Evolution trade duration for performance. With a modern DSMX/DSMR radio and a proper bind, range is ample for park‑fly distances. Always keep line‑of‑sight, follow local rules, and perform a range check before the first flight.
What radio do I need to fly a UMX Turbo Timber?
Most UMX Turbo Timber and UMX Turbo Timber Evolution versions are BNF Basic, requiring a compatible Spektrum DSMX/DSM2 transmitter. Popular choices include entry‑level to advanced Spektrum radios with model memory and dual rates. If you prefer everything in one box, look for RTF bundles that include a transmitter—handy for first‑time pilots getting into E-flite Timber models.
Are parts and upgrades available for UMX Timber planes?
Yes. You’ll find factory replacement props, landing gear, wings, control surfaces, and hardware, plus accessories like floats and LED spares widely available for E-flite Timber UMX variants. Keep foam‑safe CA or a flexible foam glue on hand for quick field repairs, and consider spare props and a straight edge for easy hingeline fixes after rough landings.
Can I fly a UMX rc plane indoors or in small parks?
In calm weather, UMX RC planes excel in small parks and open fields. Many pilots fly the UMX Turbo Timber indoors in gyms; for the Evolution, use low rates and gentle throttle—especially if running 3S—to keep it tame in tight spaces. Avoid gusty conditions, reduce control throws for precision, and practice spot landings to get the most from micro STOL capability.
