We had a blast documenting the flying capabilities of the EFlite Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m. She’s a proven backcountry bush flying and mild 3D flight capable design with some updated features we were happy to see incorporated in the new model.

We fly our Turbo Timber Evolution fully stock minus a simple change: a 13x4 two bladed prop with the spinner from the original red timber. This prop truly increases the powertoweight and reduces the strain on both the motor and ESC. We tested several different props alongside the stock 3bladed 11x7 for full throttle static thrust and what they each pulled at this power setting on the ground.

Stock 11x7: 52 amps

12x6: 45 amps

12x8: 52 amps

13x4: 41 amps

The 13x4 was the clear winner in that it provided the lowest load on the electronics but with the larger diameter allowed for great vertical lines and a decent punch out of hovering. We have our timer set at 5:30 on the throttle timer, fly it hard 3D/acro and land with 3.83.9 volts per cell. This is light years better than the original blue Turbo Timber.

Our set up:

Moved all control linkages to the furthest out hole on the servo arms and closest in on the control arms for max mechanical deflection
