Had to order this, too! I'm in big trouble 😆 . This plane is really nice. Another box and flying. Thank you for your instructions and video. Made it fun and easy!!
Glad you showed that crash where the wing split in half. I had that exact same thing happen to my ranger when I was doing some aerobatics. Glad they made that upgrade. Got a green one on the way!
I shared that with FMS Engineering several months ago.. Several people sent them notes about the lack of a spar. I'm really happy they listened to the customers. Its a great plane... Now, its even better.
I recently got into RC planes and I got myself PA-18 1300 from FMS. I had to pick it because I don't have any RC club / RC airfield near me and I am only left with grass fields. I would love to fly the Ranger too though. Your videos are really helpful for a beginner, keep up the great work. Love from Poland. btw. I also love to fly early mornings!!!
Great video Will. I will be looking at one of these as I crashed my V1 in a swamp on Sunday evening. I had done a loop followed by a roll and it just nose-dived right after. Oops. I do so enjoy this plane and love that green. Maybe FMS will send one to me too!
Hey my friend these are awesome planes I have the yellow one and as you know Ive crashed it and you helped me out with a part and its flying great love it and its one of the best trainer or a plane to have and just love to fly. Thanks for the share!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Great video Steffen! I think FMS will do as much split tails as they can as it saves so much on packaging and shipping and it's a smart move. But I think they could have done it much easier. Another similar plane is the Arrows Trekker which in fact is an even better plane.
Are use an X6B receiver on my airplanes. This has battery telemetry and range. As well as others which I don’t use. With my TX 16 I then get announcements of battery voltage and range so that I do not fly out of range. This is an FR sky protocol, not spectrum
@@rlatall1 I still have a bunch of FrSky gear. Love their stuff. Battery telemetry is a snap with that sensor. The Lemon RX stuff is ok, but not using on the fancy/expensive planes. 😎
I like your style, man. Nice video. I've come across several of your vids here and there, most notably the "fraught" one 😂 until I made the connection to your channel. Good stuff!
Really glad you like them. I enjoy making reviews and educational videos. I get lots of video ideas from viewers comments and talking with the guys at my club.. Thanks for your comment.. - Will
For me, the Big Foot is more fun to fly. The aerobatics are better and I like tail draggers. But, my new pilots prefer the Ranger since the Tricycle gear is easier on the ground..
@@SteffenRC Wow somehow i already knew you would see it the same as me when it comes to over all capability of the Arrows Big Foot being more fun to fly. Thanks Man
Steven, the aeroscout is a great plane. I need to make a detailed video on beginner planes, pros and cons. The Aeroscout will be on that list of top planes for sure. The only reason its not in my hanger is the looks and sound.. I'm a sucker for a Cessna 150.
Great upgrades on an already great trainer. Great tips too Will. Thanks for showing her off! I like the green...I can see it!
No doubt.. The Green is a great color... Its a keeper.

Its my favorite trainer plane for sure.. Such a solid and well designed plane.. Enjoy... - Will

Great demo Will ! This model should be very helpful for a lot of newer pilots and fun for anyone.
Thanks.. Its a very capable plane. Fun for all pilots....
I can’t wait to fly this I’m so excited
The Ranger is one of the best.. Really enjoy flying it and helping others learn to fly with it.

This Ranger can do grass, but it requires the grass to be relatively smooth. That front wheel might flex too much if its rough..
Great video Will. I will be looking at one of these as I crashed my V1 in a swamp on Sunday evening. I had done a loop followed by a roll and it just nose-dived right after. Oops.

Bummer... Ask them... Maybe.... Good luck my friend...
Great assembly tips and flight. I have the green livery on order😊
Thanks for the comments. Its a wonderful plane for sure. Enjoy it.. - Will

Thanks.. I agree the Ranger is one of my favorite trainer planes out there.. Can't go wrong...
Cessna 150 clones are hard to beat. Another great video Will!
Thanks for the comments. Appreciate the support.

@@SteffenRC you bet! I just wish I'd found them BEFORE, well, you know 🤣
Hi Steffen! I think to buy this plane, and use only with floats, can I remove the front wheel?
Yes the front wheel is easily removed with one screw... I prefer to fly is without the wheel on floats too... Just looks better..
@@SteffenRCThanks!
How does the FMS Ranger Fly compared to the Arrows Bigfoot Steffen?
For me, the Big Foot is more fun to fly. The aerobatics are better and I like tail draggers. But, my new pilots prefer the Ranger since the Tricycle gear is easier on the ground..
@@SteffenRC Wow somehow i already knew you would see it the same as me when it comes to over all capability of the Arrows Big Foot being more fun to fly. Thanks Man
Cannot find it in stock anywhere
I think they ran out of their 1st batch pretty fast. I'm sure FMS is making more. Its a solid plane for sure.
FMS Store has them.. Link to plane - www.fmshobby.com/products/fms-1220mm-48-ranger?ref=LON0jg7g1a7bEE10%
@@SteffenRC I’m going to try the AeroScout S 2 1.1m 1095m. In stock at my hobby shop.

@@SteffenRC That’s what’s getting me. Something about those realistic planes. I’ll take a look at that Cessna! Thank you for your time!

Don't know what that means.
