Our description
The E-flite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m is a 1549 mm STOL/bush plane made of EPO foam and a popular "step-up" model for anyone wanting more after their first trainer. It is offered as BNF Basic (with Spektrum receiver, AS3X and SAFE Select) or as PNP – in both cases without transmitter, battery and charger. 3S or 4S LiPos are recommended. Reviews (AeronauticsMagazine, RC Planes Universe) praise the wide flight envelope: thanks to AS3X and selectable SAFE Select it flies calm and forgiving, yet is aerobatic on 4S; slats and optional floats extend short-field and water use. The EPO foam is field-repairable and the E-flite spare-parts network is good. Downsides are the lock-in to the Spektrum system and the size (transport/storage). Note: Horizon now lists the Evolution as "discontinued" – but it is still widely available in German retail.
