Experience the Ultimate Sky Mastery with FMS's New 90mm EDF Avanti Jet
FMS ModelIntroduction
With FMS's 90mm EDF Avanti, a special aircraft marking its 18th anniversary with trim scheme, you can step into the world of elite RC flying. Born from a partnership between Chinese precision and Italian flair, this model isn't just another RC plane-it's a celebration of top-notch design and engineering. After more than a year in the making, this Avanti is set to impress with its stunning looks and stellar performance. It's built for every expert pilots seeking that adrenaline rush in the skies, or intermediate pilots ready for a smooth and enjoyable flight experience.
Art and Aerodynamics: The 90mm EDF Avanti RC Jet
To learn the heart of the 90mm EDF Avanti's design, where a year of rigorous development has resulted in an aircraft that not only resembles its full-sized counterpart but also closely replicates its performance. Every curve and contour has been refined for optimal aerodynamics, ensuring that whether you're gracefully flying at low speeds or pushing the limits in a high-speed sprint across the sky, the Avanti responds with precision.
Key Upgrades for Peak Performance
FMS didn't just aim to match the earlier models; they aimed higher. The new Avanti boasts enhanced maneuverability, allowing pilots to execute tight turns and complex maneuvers easily, combined with a vector tail nozzle. The improved low-speed performance also means smoother landings and stable slow-flight control, making it forgiving for intermediate pilots and enjoyable for veterans. It's this combination of elegance and agility that makes the Avanti more than just an RC jet-it's a true artist in the realm of flight.
High-Quality Components for High-Octane Thrills
Under the canopy, the Avanti is just as impressive. Equipped with a top-of-the-line 120A Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) and a powerful in-runner motor rated at 3670-KV1950, the jet doesn't just take off-it can leap into the air in a short distance with the vector tail nozzle. The heart of its propulsion system, a 90mm 12-blade ducted fan, has been engineered for efficiency, thrust, and a turbine-like sound that will turn heads at every flyby.
For experienced pilots who are thirsting for more, the Avanti offers the option to install a vector unit. This upgrade unlocks the potential for even more dramatic maneuvers, like pinpoint pirouettes and dynamic tumbles, mimicking the aerial ballet of the most advanced fighter jets.
Durability Meets Sophistication in Design and Assembly
When it comes to assembly, the Avanti prioritizes convenience without sacrificing strength. Its screw-together structure means no glue, no fuss, and less downtime before the first flight. Ball-linked control surfaces translate to precise inputs and crisp responses, giving you confidence with every move you make in the air.
And it's not just about the flying. The Avanti is equipped with electronic retracts featuring over-current protection, and the landing gear-with CNC machined metal strut and large, tough tires-ensures that even the most enthusiastic landings are handled with grace. Add to that the realistic navigation lights designed to flash just like the real jets, enhancing visibility for those twilight flights, and you have an RC model that impresses on all levels.
Ease into the Skies: Your Maiden Flight with the 90mm EDF Avanti
Every aircraft's maiden flight is crucial for verifying its design and performance, serving as a key moment for testing its flight characteristics. Let's break down what you need to know to get your Avanti off the ground and soaring with confidence.
Getting Acquainted with Your Avanti
Before you take to the skies, familiarize yourself with the aircraft. The Avanti's large battery compartment accommodates various battery sizes, which means you have the flexibility to upgrade the power source that best suits your flight style. For those who are at the intermediate level, a 6S 5000mAh battery strikes a balance between weight and performance, providing ample power without making the jet too agile.
Pre-Flight Checklist: Ensuring a Smooth Takeoff
Every successful flight begins on the ground. Here's a simplified pre-flight checklist:
- Assembly Check: Check that all screws on the aircraft are properly installed and that the control surface linkages are secure. Ensure the quick-detach wing is locked in place.
- Battery Check: Ensure it's fully charged and securely mounted in the compartment. Then adjust the aircraft's center of gravity to the recommended position in the manual
- Control Surfaces: Keep the throttle stick on the transmitter at the lowest position (it is recommended to use a transmitter with throttle lock function), turn on the transmitter, and then connect the flight battery. Once the ESC initialization is complete, check that all control surfaces and flaps are centered and moving correctly.
- Landing Gear: Deploy and retract the gear to verify they are operating smoothly on a support stand.
- Motor and Fan: Perform a brief motor run-up to confirm that the fan sounds smooth and the motor responds correctly to throttle changes.
The Maiden Voyage: Liftoff and Basic Maneuvers
With checks complete, it's time to fly. Start with a controlled, steady takeoff roll, gradually increasing throttle as the Avanti gains speed. Feel the excitement as it lifts effortlessly into the air on your command. Initially, keep it simple-practice level flight and gentle turns, and figure out how the Avanti handles things. The functional flaps aid in increasing lift, and they are especially useful during your first few landings as you learn to manage your approach speed and descent.
The key to a good landing is to be patient and give yourself plenty of runway to work with – this jet's forgiving nature will help correct minor mistakes, ensuring you and your Avanti return safely to the earth, ready to soar again.
Tuning and Maintenance for Optimal Performance in RC Flying
As you grow more comfortable with the basic maneuvers of the 90mm EDF Avanti, it's time to refine your flying skills and keep your aircraft in peak condition.
Optimizing Flight Controls
The Reflex flight control system is your best ally when it comes to fine-tuning the Avanti's performance. It allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the controls, ensuring that your inputs translate into smooth, precise movements in the air. For those ready to push their piloting prowess, experiment with increased rates for ailerons, elevators, and rudder. This will make the jet more responsive and unlock its potential for snappy rolls, tight loops, and dynamic stalls.
Routine Checks and Maintenance Tips
Consistent maintenance not only keeps the Avanti performing well but also extends its lifespan. After each flying session, follow these simple steps:
- Clean off any dirt or debris from the airframe, paying extra attention to the fan blades and intake for unobstructed airflow.
- Inspect all moving parts, such as hinges and servo arms, for wear and ensure they are securely fastened and operate smoothly.
- Check the battery and ESC connectors for signs of wear or overheating, which could indicate a need for replacement or adjustment.
- Store batteries properly, charged to storage level if not planning another flight soon, to maintain their health and longevity.
Open Your Avanti Adventure
In the thrilling world of RC aviation, the 90mm EDF Avanti stands out as a remarkable synthesis of artistry and aerodynamics. From its sleek design born of international collaboration to its powerful thrust and agile maneuvers, this jet is a true testament to FMS's dedication to excellence over 18 years. It offers an unmatched experience for intermediate pilots who seek the joy of further improvement and veterans who crave the adrenaline of advanced aerobatics.
