E-flite UMX Timber X BNF Basic Electric Airplane (570mm) w/AS3X & SAFE Select
About this part
Eflite UMX Timber X - Proven STOL Capabilities Blended with 3D Performance!
The Eflite UMX Timber X combines the unique STOL capabilities of the Timber airframe with the 3D performance found in the larger Timber X platform. Using enlarged control surfaces, a powerful 3S brushless motor system and optional SAFE features this aircraft is the "best of both worlds"!
Compared to the ultra-micro Timber models that came before it, its brushless power system features a 3S-compatible outrunner motor and the wing has a shortened span, larger ailerons plus an enlarged elevator and rudder. On low rates, the controls can be smooth and docile. On high rates, they deliver extreme 3D capability — to fly as mild or as wild as you'd like! The full-span ailerons can also be used as flaperons for improved slow flight and STOL performance. Spektrum AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies are included for easier flying, and the control unit/flight controller provides real-time flight battery voltage telemetry and other data to compatible Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters. Oversized, tundra-style wheels soak up bumps and offer excellent prop clearance. Fly from grass, gravel paths, dirt trails, paved, and other surfaces, outdoors in yards, parks, sports fields and beyond, or indoors in suitable spaces including gymnasiums. Install optional floats (EFLUA1190, sold separately) to add large pools, small ponds, and lakes to your flying site options. Included LED landing, navigation and simulated strobe lights make it possible to fly from earlier to even later in the day. Constructed of advanced EPS material for a lightweight but durable airframe, the UMX Timber X arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to bind to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2 equipped transmitter. That means you can be flying within minutes of opening the box!

Fun little park flyer! No shortage of power on the recommended battery. The telemetry makes it easy to keep track of remaining battery charge and SAFE makes it relaxing to fly.
This plane is a Blast, even as an intermediate pilot, this aircraft is allot of fun. So much power, I highly recommend using 3S vs 2S I was able to fly in 6-8 mile an hr. winds with no problems, always better with less or no wind. The only negative would be never getting the Flappers to work, however this could be due to human error.
I want to say what a great plane this is. Can fly in wind for a small plane that is impressive. Has great trick potential. I flew off water with no problem. You just need the optional pontoons. I highly recommend this plane. I am a newer pilot so if I get into trouble just hit safe mode and will straighten you out!
Three reviewers, all rating the E-flite UMX Timber X BNF Basic (570mm) 5/5, describe it as fun and capable for a park flyer. Reviewers praise its power on the recommended battery, the telemetry for tracking remaining charge, and the SAFE system, which one says makes flying relaxing and helps newer pilots recover. One reviewer reports flying in 6-8 mph winds using a 3S battery rather than 2S, and another reports flying off water with optional pontoons. One reviewer could not get the flaps to work, though they suspect operator error. Reviews are few and short, with no clear recurring problems.
- + Strong power on recommended battery
- + Telemetry shows remaining battery charge
- + SAFE mode helps newer pilots
- + Handles moderate wind for its size
- − Flaps did not work for one reviewer
