Why Choose FMS for Your EDF Jet Adventure?
FMS has established itself as a leader in Electric Ducted Fan technology by addressing some of the biggest challenges in the hobby: combining speed with stability and scale realism with durability. Here is why pilots around the world choose an FMS Jet for their fleet:
1. True-to-Life Scale Realism
We do not just build flying models; we create detailed airborne replicas. From the precise panel lines and rivets on the F-18 Super Hornet to the functional canards on the Rafale, every airframe features meticulous scale detailing.
Selected models also include functional flaps, navigation LED lighting systems, sequenced gear doors, and other realistic features designed to recreate the appearance and operation of their full-scale counterparts.
2. Reflex V2/V3 Flight Control System
The fear of losing control of a fast jet can be reduced with the right flight assistance technology. Many FMS models are compatible with or equipped with the industry-leading Reflex V3 Flight Control System.
This three-mode gyro system offers Stabilized, Optimized, and Off modes. It acts as a digital co-pilot, helping maintain a stable flight path in challenging conditions and making EDF jet flying more approachable for intermediate pilots.
3. High-Performance PNP Convenience
Spend more time flying and less time assembling. Our PNP RC Jets (Plug-N-Play) arrive with key electronic components already installed, including metal-gear servos, brushless motors, and high-performance ESCs.
With practical screw-together assembly on many models, pilots can prepare their aircraft for the runway without the extensive gluing and building traditionally associated with RC jets.
4. Durable Engineering
FMS EDF jets are built with robust, high-density EPO foam and reinforced with structural components such as carbon fiber spars. This construction helps the airframe handle high-speed flight and demanding aerobatic maneuvers.
Selected premium models also feature CNC-machined metal landing gear designed to absorb the impact of takeoffs and less-than-perfect landings.
Find Your Flight Path: A Guide to the FMS Jet Collection
Not all EDF jets are created for the same pilot, flying field, or skill level. Our lineup covers multiple fan sizes and performance classes, making it easier to find an aircraft that matches your experience and ambitions.
Discover EDF Flight: 64mm Class
Best for: Park flying, portability, and pilots transitioning into EDF aircraft.
If you are looking to earn your jet wings, this is an excellent place to begin. Our 64mm EDF Jets are compact, lightweight, and typically powered by accessible 4S LiPo battery setups.
- Military Jet Experience: The 64mm F-16 Fighting Falcon delivers the recognizable profile and agile performance of an iconic fighter aircraft.
- Sport Jet Stability: The 64mm Futura combines a strong power-to-weight ratio with more forgiving sport-jet handling.
- Accessible Flight Assistance: With the Reflex system enabled, compatible 64mm models can provide additional stability for pilots progressing from propeller aircraft to EDF jets.
Balance Speed and Control: 70mm Class
Best for: Everyday jet flying, advancing skills, and balancing performance with transportability.
The 70mm class offers an appealing balance of size, presence, performance, and cost. These high-speed RC planes are large enough to handle moderate wind and may include advanced functions such as retractable landing gear and flaps, while remaining convenient to transport in a standard vehicle.
- Refined Sport Performance: The 70mm Viper V2 is known for smooth handling, precise aerobatics, and predictable flight characteristics.
- Advanced Aerobatic Capability: The 70mm Avanti V3 delivers responsive control and sport-jet performance for pilots developing their aerobatic skills.
- Scale Military Presence: The 70mm Yak-130 V2 combines detailed military styling with the commanding presence of a larger EDF aircraft.
Command the Airfield: 80mm, 90mm & Twin EDF Jets
Best for: Experienced pilots seeking greater speed, turbine-like sound, advanced functions, and large-scale presence.
For pilots who demand flagship-level performance, our larger EDF models deliver more power, stronger sound, and a commanding presence in the air. These aircraft commonly use high-discharge 6S or 8S power systems and require more runway space and advanced energy-management skills.
- Flagship Sport Jet: The 90mm Avanti 18th Anniversary Edition offers high-speed performance and precise aerobatic capability in a large sport-jet platform.
- High-Power Performance: Models such as the Super Scorpion are designed for experienced pilots seeking aggressive speed and powerful vertical performance.
- Twin-Engine Scale Experience: Twin EDF aircraft such as the Twin 70mm Su-27 and A-10 Thunderbolt II recreate the sound, scale presence, and complex flight characteristics associated with multi-engine military aircraft.
The Runway is Calling
Whether you are chasing the thrill of a high-speed low pass, practicing precise aerobatics, or working toward the satisfaction of a smooth scale landing, FMS provides the airframe and technology to support your next flying adventure.
Explore the RC EDF Jets collection, choose the FMS EDF Jet that matches your experience, and take command of the skies.
Essential Buying Guide & FAQs About RC EDF Jets
Q1: Is an EDF Jet Hard to Fly for a Beginner?
A: EDF jets are generally not recommended as a pilot’s first RC aircraft. However, pilots who can comfortably take off, fly, and land a low-wing propeller plane may be ready to transition to an FMS jet equipped with a Reflex Flight Control System.
For a first EDF jet, consider starting with a more forgiving sport-jet design such as the Futura, Viper, or Avanti before progressing to complex scale military airframes.
Q2: What Is the Difference Between Sport Jets and Scale Military Jets?
A: Scale military jets, such as the F-16 or Su-27, are designed to resemble full-size fighter aircraft and may have faster, more precise, and less forgiving flight characteristics.
Sport jets, such as the Viper, Futura, or Avanti, are designed primarily around RC flight performance. They often provide smoother handling, better gliding characteristics, and more predictable low-speed behavior, making them suitable for pilots learning EDF energy management.
Q3: What Batteries Do I Need for an FMS EDF Jet?
A: Battery requirements depend on the fan size, motor system, and specific aircraft. Many 64mm EDF jets use 4S LiPo batteries, while numerous 70mm, 80mm, and 90mm models require high-discharge 6S LiPo batteries, commonly ranging from 3300mAh to 5000mAh.
Larger or higher-performance models may require different battery configurations, including 8S systems. Always check the individual product page for the recommended battery capacity, discharge rating, connector type, dimensions, and weight before purchasing.
