THANK YOU, thank you for this RECORDING! VERY VALUABLE comments. VERY WELL AND FACTUALLY EXPLAINED! No rush, no delays, no shouting! Just right! REGARDS. I have a question, can this EPP model be protected or the color changed: with varnish or heat shrink foil?
Glad you liked the video! You can cover this model with iron-on covering, just keep a low heat setting. Acrylic paint will work fine as well. Be sure to check the center of gravity for correct location when complete.
Thank you kindly. Question: if one wanted to refinish in Piper Cub yellow… All carefully masked off to keep moving parts free and the AC windows, Any good recommendations for best tape and importantly paint type. Can the black markings be readily removed, and any prep steps ? Thank you kindly, and pass this on to answer with good experience.
Very helpful review. Have just purchased one and so will refer too your video when building. I use the reflex in my other FMS models and have found it pretty easy to set up and helped learning to fly as a novice rc enthusiast. Thanks again for a thorough review.
Excellent work on the Video. I'm considering a return to flight. I've been elbows deep in Arduino and needed a radio for a project. So now I have a 10 Chan Flysky radio that is unemployed. Now that's a pretty cool airplane. My return to flight may need an ejection seat.
Hi sir, thanks for a very nice video. I am just getting into this hobby and have been looking into this size airplane. I have never flown any RC planes before but need advice and guidance on a particular plane I can get started with. If you can recommend any planes that would be great. Thank you
I use the AR 637t in some of my planes. Usually not on, but it has saved me from losing a plane or two. I assume the reflex performs a similar function.
Hi. I need to replace the control horn on the main wing of my FMS 1300mm. I can't find an OEM replacement horn to purchase. Can you suggest a specific different control horn that would work on the wing and with the control rod? Thanks.
Hi, friend! I would like to acquire my first FMS brand airplane (but in reality I am very concerned about the compatibility of the electronics, that is to say... the majority of horizon hobby RTF airplanes contain spektrum electronics and many times their models are limited to said electronics... my question is.. is it possible to attach any other esc and receiver like Flysky to the fms planes?
I like FMS airplanes a lot. Very thought out and they fly well. Especially the PA-18. The ESCs come built in, usually I never see them as they are buried in the fuselage. You’ll provide your own receiver (I use Spektrum AR620) and most receivers will work with any ESC. Tim
I WANT ONE LOL my problem is im canadian and to have it shipped to canada is pricey will look into our hobby shops around london ontario ty for the great video

John: Apologies, but I know very little on painting RC planes. Tim
If I purchase this cool plane it will be my first in over 60 years. This will be my 'trainer'...
You will like it! And one that is also a joy to fly is the Arrows Bigfoot, see my review on this winner.

Enjoy this plane. One of my favorite flyers! Tim
It appears to have quite a bit of downthrust. from what i could see, it looks like about 5° or more?
Elnufo: I did notice a bit of down and right thrust, but think it is less than 5 degrees. Anyhow, whatever the designers put in works well. Tim

All good! Tim

Most likely. The PA-18 is super easy to fly, though. Tim

Try www.Amazon.com, search for model plane control horns. Tim
