Beginner RC Planes

The Perfect RC Airplane For Beginners

As the newest member of the FMS multi-purpose aircraft lineup, the 1220mm Ranger V2 retains all of the fantastic features that pilots have come to expect from FMS stable flight characteristics, ease of assembly, and realistic general-aviation inspired design.

Built with ultralight EPO foam, the large high-winged airframe configuration gives the Ranger stable flight characteristics and low wing-loading with extraordinary amounts of lift, even at slow speeds. Robust plastic struts give extra strength to the wings during aerobatic maneuvers and the patented high-strength “crash-proof” spring cushioned nose landing gear makes ground handling a breeze.

A great aircraft is nothing without a great, dependable power system. FMS has equipped the ranger with a 3136/1200KV outrunner motor with 20A Predator ESC, which allows the ranger to climb almost vertically on demand!

Featuring red, yellow, or green color schemes, the ranger can always be easily orientated even in overcast weather. Designed specifically for beginner pilots, the ranger boasts effortless assembly. Requiring only several screws and twist-locks to complete assembly, the longest wait time is the time it takes to charge the battery! Additionally, the two-piece design of the fuselage and main wing reduces packaging size by thirty percent, facilitating easy transport and storage!

Reflex V3, an onboard flight stabilization system, is factory installed. The Reflex system features Stabilized, Optimized and Manual flight modes. Reflex V3 is a trusty co-pilot that is perfect for pilots of any skill level.

Don’t miss out on one of the most revolutionary FMS aircraft, the amphibious ranger V2!

In line with the product concept of "perfect appearance, excellent performance", FMS Maule includes an abundance of scale detail. From the crystal-clear cabin windows and interior decoration, to molded panel lines, antennas, rivets, vortex generators and functional LED lights, FMS Maule pushes the limits of restoration degree that can be achieved in an aircraft of the same size and type.
Maule can be equipped with two sets of landing gear - a tire set and a float set, for conquering any terrain year-round. The pre-installed 3S/4S compatible brushless power system delivers plenty of performance for flying from smooth or rough surfaces using the oversized wheels, or from water using the included float set.
FMS Maule - enjoy unparalleled flying pleasure.

FMS has always dedicated its engineering efforts towards making aircraft suitable for every skill level. The SuperEZ has always been a perfect beginner-friendly sport aircraft.
Using a large, high-winged design constructed out of lightweight EPO foam, the SuperEZ has an ultra-low wing loading and stable flight characteristics- giving beginner pilots great handling even at slow speeds. An improved brushless power system and propeller gives the aircraft ample power while still maintaining 10-15 minute flight times. A high strength, lightweight metal landing gear set absorbs even the hardest landings.
For easy transportation, the SuperEZ is designed with a quick-release mechanism that can release the wing in a matter of seconds.

Building on the success of the SuperEZ V2, the V3 features an improved one-piece horizontal stabilizer and a nose-cone that significantly reduces vibrations.
Built upon the successful Super EZ V3, FMS has completely upgraded the digital 9g servos to ensure pinpoint precision and bulletproof reliability. The addition of attractive purple accents to the color scheme make the Super EZ V4 a head-turner at every field!
Like the SuperEZ V2 and V3, the V4 can be installed with floats! Allowing for water and snow operations
As one of FMS’ mainline products, the SuperEZ V4 utilizes the latest in FMS’ design language. It will grow with the pilot as they progress into more sophisticated flight maneuvers.

The Piper PA-18 Super Cub is a two-seat, single-engine monoplane. It was developed from the Piper PA-11. In close to 40 years of production, over 9,000 were built. Super Cubs are commonly found in roles such as bush flying, banner towing and glider towing.
The FMS 1700mm PA-18 was launched in 2019, and its stable, easy-to-fly and easy-to-operate features have brought full surprises to both new and old pilots. While this trainer has been widely praised, FMS has been constantly asked whether it is possible to reduce the size of the aircraft, including the aircraft itself and the packaging, while maintaining its stability and operating controllability as much as possible, so that it can be picked up like a boarding suitcase.
With the 1300mm PA-18, FMS has answered the above question. The 1300mm PA-18 also adopts a two-section main wing and horizontal stability structure, but at the same time, the fuselage is also two-section, which greatly facilitates players' transportation and carrying. It can be hidden in the corner of a car trunk, ready to be used at any time.
Thanks to its functional flaps, high-lift airfoil, rugged landing gear and oversized pneumatic rubber tires- the 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub has impressive short take-off and landing (STOL) performance, allowing it to operate from just about any terrain.
In addition, the assembly steps of the 1300mm PA-18 are still simple and convenient, and the assembly and disassembly of the entire aircraft can be completed with just a few screws.
For pilots wanting to get the genuine bush-plane experience, the PA-18 Super Cub can be equipped with floats.
The latest 1300mm PA-18 could be a great start to enjoying versatile, fun and exceptionally relaxing flight.

Skill, know-how and space has always been limiting factors in bringing new enthusiasts into the wonderful world of R/C aviation, until now!
FMS has always been dedicated to enabling pilots of every skill level to enjoy the thrills of flight. Innovation then, is in our DNA.
FMS is proud to announce the 850mm Ranger. Like its sibling, the high winged airframe design with a tricycle landing gear, is very easy to fly by default. A dedicated flight control paired with a GPS sytem allows pilots to fly under beginner, intermediate and fully manual flight modes. An innovative flight perimeter fence and return to home functions provide bulletproof reliability and ease of mind- flying has never been so simple.

Flight perimeter fence function: if the aircraft is in excess of 120m away from the pilot, the aircraft will return to home automatically, with the pilot having the option of taking over the controls at any time. Once over the home point, the aircraft will circle at a 25m altitude at roughly 40km/h.
Return to home function: in the off chance that the pilot loses orientation of the aircraft, the return to home function can be triggered and the aircraft will fly back to the home point. Like the flight perimeter function, this function does not take away the pilots' ability to control the aircraft at any time.
Once over the home point, the Ranger 850 circles until further control inputs are given.
Absolute beginners rejoice! The FMS 850mm Ranger has everything that is needed for flight! A 12A esc/receiver combo reduces the need to connect cables and a 2315-3850kv motor, 7.4V 850mAh 25c battery and four 1.9g micro servos give the lightweight 305g aircraft incredible performance. Fly at a small park, basketball court or even your own back yard!
The innovative 850mm Ranger is the perfect way to start earning your wings!

Types Function:
