Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up and fly similar class models. This ARF version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF® Basic version because you will need to select and install a suitable power system, servos and a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. It’s not a suitable first-ever RC aircraft for new pilots, a “next step after a trainer” model for low-time RC pilots, or first large-scale model for intermediate 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.

This Almost-Ready-To-Fly (ARF) version arrives mostly factory-assembled and ready for you to install the motor, ESC, servos and receiver you prefer (all sold separately).

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
