This FMS rc plane is a solid performer on only 2S. Really enjoyed the assembly and flight. In this video, I go over the assembly, flight and final review. Also, there is a raffle for this plane. Winner will be drawn around April 7 2024.

Hi Will. Enjoyed your review of the "FMSZERO" this morning. It does look like a nice war bird with good handling / flying abilities. If a person has some nice soft grass to land on - it seems like it would be a good plane to fly without the gear. I was pleasantly surprised that you had the aerobatic ability shown with just a 2S battery. And it had a good presence in the air.

@SteffenRC 3 ай бұрын

It really handled well with the 2S.. I didn't have high expectations and was surprised... Good plane and the power system is more than enough..

Keep up with those training videos they are very well done - FMSZERO - Rudder authority on ground : Try moving the linkage at the rudder surface to the inner hole and the rudder servo arm linkage to the outer hole. If that makes rudder yaw too twitchy in air you can assign a switch with rates for ground and air to limit it.

@SteffenRC 3 ай бұрын

Thanks.. Really appreciate the comments. I'd like to adjust the tailwheel linkage, but there isn't much room to dig into it. It seems like it was installed prior to the fuselage halves being glued. Its Ok.. Just requires some room for turning around on the runway...

Thanks.. Just keep practicing on your flying. Having a flight with purposeful practice is the only way to get better. Get to the point you can have perfect circuits that align with the runway and have consistent altitude, then work on your perfect approach, then perfect landings and so on..

Great beginner warbird. I've had 5 over the years. They do start to wear out at about 60-100 flights but FMS stocks plenty of spare parts. Landing gear begins to bend then break after repeated landings and the area just ahead of the cockpit is weak and will snap off if you accumulate too many hard landings so I reinforce mine. Props are a little fragile so I use Master airscrew. I use the recommended FMS battery which is heavier and adds weight. Lasts 10 minutes easily . I would recommend the gyro for beginners to warbirds. It's very fast and agile and can get away from a novice very quickly. I've have tons of fun with mine and only lost one of mine when a tree ran in front of me. I have 4 left and the y are painted in different schemes hence the reason for so many. They are really quite beautiful. Let me add once you master this plane you can fly any warbird. Add me to the drawing! I'm one short in my Kokutai.

Hey nice flying and smooth landing! I've been picking the hobby back up later in life, and I'm ready for an intermediate plane. The FMSZERO would be fantastic! Do you have any recommendations for transmitters?

@SteffenRC 3 ай бұрын

I've been in this hobby 3 times.. Started in the early 80's, then again in early 2000 and then again 5 years ago. There are a lot of manufactures of TX out there and I've used 2 of them. FrSKY and Spektrum. Other solid systems are Radio Master and futaba. I was using FrSKY for several years and recently switched to Spektrum due to the ease of setting up a plane and the fact that most Eflite planes have a Spektrum rx already installed, makes things simple. My FrSky is still used for my FPV and flight controller planes and drones. I use this analogy for TX's.. If you like to tinker with computers and think Linux or Andriod phones offer flexibility and fun to mess with, then you might lean towards the FrSky and RadioMaster. If you like things to just work and don't need to tinker around much, then I'd get the Spektrum system. One neat thing about the RadioMaster is it has multiple protocols and you can use FrSky, Spectrum and other RXs with that TX.. While the FrSky, Spektrum and Futaba are proprietary systems. Good luck in your search... Will

@@alexherrera3918 there are so many variables on the cg. Maybe the manufacturer painted a bit heavy on the tail? Maybe the motor used 3 years ago has been changed but the design criteria wasn’t reviewed. It’s quite common for modelers to adjust the cg based on battery selection and flying styles. This planes battery compartment is small and no room to move the battery fore or aft to adjust cg. So a small amount of lead can help.
