Classic Reborn: FMS 800mm Beaver

In the long river of aviation development, the DHC-2 "Beaver" designed by de Havilland Canada stands as a unique and dazzling star.

The Beaver was originally designed to meet the need for transporting small groups of people and cargo in wilderness areas. At the time, Canada's vast and complex terrain—with its expansive wild forests, mountain ranges, and a web of rivers and lakes—urgently required an aircraft capable of operating in harsh environments. In 1946, based on market research and feedback from pilots, de Havilland Canada decided to develop a rugged, multi-purpose aircraft that could take off and land in harsh conditions. Through market studies, they gathered pilots' requirements for the new aircraft's performance. Pilots universally desired a powerful plane with exceptional Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities, adaptable to wheeled, skid, or float. Even though engineers warned that such a design would compromise cruise performance, pilots believed that as long as it was faster than dog sleds and could deliver heavy cargo to remote areas, it would succeed!

Once launched, the Beaver became one of the most legendary bush planes of the 20th century, symbolizing wilderness exploration with its outstanding STOL abilities and reliability. Primarily used as a bush plane, it served various purposes: transporting goods and passengers, aerial work (including crop spraying and aerial fertilization), and civil aviation tasks.

FMS has recreated this classic model with an 800mm wingspan, perfectly balancing portability and flight performance. What are you waiting for? Assemble up and start your adventure!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the PNP version include the gyro feature?

A: The PNP version is not equipped with gyro functionality. This feature is provided exclusively with the RTF version, which incorporates a 3-in-1 receiver unit (RX, gyro, 12A ESC).

Q: What do the gyro actually do in the RTF version?

A: A gyro acts like an invisible co-pilot, continuously correcting for turbulence and unintended pitch, roll, or yaw so the plane stays level and predictable, even when you let go of the sticks.

Q: How can the PNP version obtain gyro-stabilized flight performance?

A: The PNP airframe is supplied without a gyro; however, stability can be added by installing the Reflex V3 flight controller (available separately). The unit offers three pilot-selectable modes—Stabilized, Optimized, and Manual—to make every flight smoother and safer.

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!

The 70mm Viper was not always the first choice for players transitioning from prop-driving airplane to jet – the original wire landing gear was not so friendly to pilots unfamiliar with jet takeoffs and landings – but now, she is! FMS 15th Anniversary Edition 70mm Viper, here we go!

There are a lot of FMS jet machines, but the 70mm Viper always soars above the crowd. The comment from players that the Viper “does any acrobatic trick you can throw at it" is a true portrayal of the excellent performance of this aircraft. The 15th anniversary edition of the Viper has been improved based on the previous work – switching out wire landing gear for a full set of CNC metal shock absorbing landing gear (A.K.A kneeling nose) – achieving simplicity, stability and ease of handling during the entire process of takeoff, flight and landing. Digital metal-toothed steering gear and ball-head joint rods provide precise control. The clip-on cockpit design facilitates battery access, and also effectively ensures that the cockpit will not fall off during violent flight. Lightweight EPO materials increase the durability and precision of the aircraft. The optimized airframe curves, long wings and wingtips reduce wind resistance and make the flight attitude of the entire aircraft clearer. 70mm 12-blade EDF unit, high speed brushless 3060 in-runner motor, 80A ESC, in combination with the recommended 6S 3300mAh lithium polymer battery, provide excellent vertical performance, speed range and instantaneous throttle response in flight. Perhaps even more fascinating is the sound the powertrain makes --it's almost like a real turbine.

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.
