This is the one plane that I've consistently wanted in my hangar since picking up the sticks less than a year ago. I desperately need an upgraded Tx'er with my current RC budget. So, i really hope FMS keeps this plane around for a bit longer. Like 6 or 8 pay periods. Lol. They really do make a damn fine RC plane. Thanks for keeping my RC hopes and dreams alive, showcasing all of these RC beauties 👍
Great video. Never flown or owned any War Birds yet, But the Zero will definitely be my first choice. Unless Horizon Hobbies comes out with a 1300mm STUKA with AS3X.
I love this plane, followed your advise and replaced the rudder servo to metalgear. I put another pivot into the inner hole of the rudder servo that improved ground handling a lot. Thanks❤
Nice review of the FMS Zero 1400mm. I really like that you had Herron fly the plane as someone with no warbird experience I can see myself trying this plane. I like watching you wring out a plane but it doesn't always fit my flying style.
I really wish all manufacturers would impliment an easy on/off system for the wings. The new Freewing Cougar has a great set up, ribbon cable and clips for the wings.
They've been trending that way recently, but the Zero is a pretty old model that hasn't been updated yet. It's worth dealing with for a beginner - the stability is unparalleled. Ribbon cable is pretty heavy though - we usually prefer models with straight servo connections over ribbons.
I've been eyeing up this one for a while! After acquiring some FMS planes recently, I'm really impressed. I've just gotta get past my obsession with balsa 3d birds at the moment... * runs off to watch your 3d tutorials for the 5th time *
Keep the downsides in mind. It's not a plane that you're going to want to take apart. If you can live with that or don't mind taking 7+ minutes to assemble it at the field, you'll be rewarded with a really docile trainer for warbirds. If you want to push it, you could modify it so that the battery sits under the canopy instead of in front of it.
@@TwoBrosRC Will do! Thank you for such thorough info in your videos. You really highlight all of the little nuances that many others miss or fail to discuss!
Was this one an SMC HV pack? Can only use SMC HV at max voltage if your esc can take HV, otherwise you lose 15% of stated capacity if you charge to 4.2v a cell. Says so on their website. CHNL is fine for all PNP applications.
@@MichalDziedzic-fq7xvs @@MichalDziedzic-fq7xv The most stable and easy to fly is 1400mm Zero. But it's big, so we need a large airfield. The disadvantage is that my legs are weak, but I'm making my own Oleo legs.
The most straightforward and professional RC flying channel on youtube. Thanks guys for doing what you do!
Thanks for watching!

Happy to help! BTW, his name is actually spelled Ciarán since he's from Ireland. ;)
Might pick one of these up for when I teach people how to fly after they’ve been on the sim for a bit

Great content Jon! Thanks for showing it in the hands of a newer pilot as well.
Thanks man! We're trying to vary up the content, and give our in-house aerodynamicist some spotlight too.
I LOVE mine! Great Channel guys, always love the vids
Glad you like them!
Two words, Runway Maintenance. Cool Vid!
Five words: Are you willing to help?
Thanks!
@@TwoBrosRC I don't think I live close enough, lol I sure would if I could, I have a few to fly as well.

We got eight minute flights out of the SMC packs charged to 4.2v. There's no reason for us to buy additional batteries.
I was think about buying this but i had a bad experience with the fms p51 800mm do you still think i should still get this
Or is the fms zero 1100mm better because its more in my price range because im a kid
We'd recommend going with the less expensive option if you can't afford $399.
Does this came with lights
If you see 'em in the vid, they're on it!
@@TwoBrosRC cool
Fms discontinued this model for a while. I wonder why
We had no idea it was discontinued at any point.
What about the 1100mm version?
We don't have it.
I have all FMS Zero fighters,1100mm Zero so good!
@@dynamizer2hello, which of the zeros do you like the most and why? Is the 800mm also good, compared to the larger ones?

just move the cg back then ? why so much bickering about it... i've flown mine off a 3000mah 4s and got it as tail heavy as i like it

I am a gyro loving FM-er. I’ll put a gyro on a paper airplane.
No U
Yep
Sad that RC flying is a dead hobby thanks to government regulators who work for corporations and not the taxpaying majority.
It's dying because of people with poor attitudes towards new technology and people, not because of government regulations.
