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.
