      Looks like a new plane from Eflite. Does not appear to be out yet.

        Here is some info

        Fly from just about anywhere with the new Timber BNF from E-Flite. There’s no need for a dedicated runway with this plane. Tall grass, gravel, snow or even a lake can be your spot for short take off’s and landings.  With the tundra tires or floats the Timber BNF is ready for some small scale bush …
        Off with one helluva roar!

          I'm going to grab one of these for my personal collection as soon as it arrives. Motion RC will get a pre order up next week. The plane is due in at the end of June. I'm excited about this one for a few reasons.

          1) Amazing lights - The Flyzone Beaver has the absolute best lights in the business and this plane has the same lights. The strobes look amazing and they are, without a doubt, some of the best lights in the business.
          2) flight time - The plane was designed to fit a wide range of batteries from a 3S 2200 which will give you about 8 min of flight time up to a 3S 3300 which will give you about 12 min of flight time.
          3) flaps included - enough said
          4) floats and tundra tires both included - I fly a lot of float planes but I also like to fly off long grass. This will handle both
          5) leading edge slats included - You can turn it from a great flying decently aerobatic plane (for a cub) to an STOL (short takeoff and landing) plane by installing the included leading edge slats. I will try it without the slats first but I'm excited to try the slats later.
          6) plenty of power - This plane has the same power system as the E-Flite Ultimate2 3D plane and it only weights a few extra ounces.
          7) shock absorbing landing gear (when tires are used)
          8) Dual steerable water rudders on the floats - finally a seaplane that can maneuver!


          The above are the highlights for me and the reasons I want one. There are other features which are neither here nor there for me. Of course it has AS3X. It also has SAFE select which I'll turn off.
