1: Take to the Skies with FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub

Compact Yet Mighty

The FMS 1300mm model is a legendary Piper PA-18 Super Cub that shrinks to a practical size and combines modernism with its storied bush-flying tradition. Its two-section design fits the pilot who longs for spontaneity—just grab it like a suitcase and head for the closest open area. Though its frame is smaller, it does not sacrifice capabilities; rather, it boasts outstanding STOL ability that allows you to lift off and land in the most exacting areas.

Pilots Love It: Why?

This Super Cub is built for strength and power, from its torquey 3536-850KV motor down to the strong landing gear. Assembling this is easy, mimicking the simplicity of classic toy models but with the refinement of modern RC aircraft. Pilots eager to fly without hassle will find this attractive since preinstalled lighting and strong wing spars accentuate the fast-to-set-up character.

Glowing Endorsements from Enthusiasts

With its forgiving flight characteristics and simple setup, users rate it a great 4.62 out of 5 stars. Tim, a recently returning hobbyist, praises the plane as ideal for relearning the ropes, driven by its simple construction and robust build that resists the sporadic hard touchdown. "This plane has been perfect for me," he says, confirming its dual appeal for veterans seeking a reliable, robust flier as well as beginners. Stashed in a tidy, adventure-ready kit, the FMS 1300mm PA-18 Super Cub is a monument to the delight of flying.

2. Elevating to Jet-Speed: FMS EDF Jet 70mm Viper V2

Aerial Mastery with the FMS Viper

For every flight enthusiast, moving from propeller-driven aircraft to the exciting realm of jets is an exciting journey; the FMS EDF Jet 70mm Viper V2 is the last stepping stone. Specifically designed to smooth out that transition, this Viper jet offers steadiness and simplicity heretofore rare in previous versions as part of FMS's celebrated 15th Anniversary Edition portfolio.

Features Tailored for the Aspiring Jet Pilot

For pilots fresh to jet dynamics, the Viper V2 uses mild takeoffs and forgiving landings by substituting a pair of shock-absorbing CNC metal for its original wire landing gear. Digital metal-geared servos and ball-head connectors provide pinpoint accuracy, therefore guaranteeing flawless execution of every aerobatic movement. Easy battery access guaranteed by the clip-on cockpit guarantees security even during high-octane stunts. Furthermore, its lightweight EPO construction does not sacrifice durability; rather, its ideal shape lets the Viper slice through the air with little resistance and a clear flight attitude. Much to the delight of any pilot's ears, coupled with a strong 70mm 12-blade EDF unit, a high-speed brushless motor, and an 80A ESC, the jet shows remarkable vertical performance and sound that mimics a real turbine.

Reliable Performance Meets Exhilaration

With a perfect 5-star customer satisfaction score, pilots are not quiet about their love of the Viper V2. Tom Rogula says it's his "dream plane," highlighting its better quality and features than rivals. Steven King, in the meantime, said it was a perfect introduction to jet flying, complimenting its simple handling and remarkable build quality. For those prepared to enter the fast-paced world of EDF planes, this aircraft not only meets but is above expectations for their flying ability.

3. Conquering the Terrain with FMS 1:24 FCX24 Power Wagon RTR

Designed precisely for those who enjoy off-road sports, the FMS 1:24 FCX24 Power Wagon RTR offers the pure delight of rock crawling directly at your fingertips. This is more than just any little automobile; it's a tribute to the iconic 1949 Power Wagon, with a ground-breaking two-speed transmission enhancing its crawling capacity. Perfect for navigating challenging terrain, its high-strength nylon frame and mid-mounted power assembly mix a low center of gravity with lightweight agility.

The FCX24 not only negotiates difficult terrain but also does it with grace thanks to portal axles providing heightened clearance and metal gears throughout. Beyond its strong four-link suspension and fast-separation body for quick maintenance, this small crawler combines performance with looks with a painted polystyrene body highlighted by an innovative sticker pattern. The integrated remote control lighting system guarantees that your trip into the wild doesn't finish when the sun sets.

With an outstanding 4.86 out of 5, the FCX24 Power Wagon has captured the hearts of enthusiasts. While RC Basher stresses its value for money, stressing the surprising speed and dependability straight out of the box, Graham MacKillop recommends it as his top pick among 1/24 scale models for its flexibility and fun aspect.

4. FMS 1:24 Chevrolet K5 Blazer

The FMS 1:24 Chevrolet K5 Blazer RTR combines the contemporary RC technology's superior features with the classic elegance of the Chevy design. Complete with striking electroplated bumpers, grille, and side chrome-plated stickers, this formally licensed beauty from General Motors gives the tiny world a classic feel. Thanks to its simply removable rear top, the model, which embodies adaptability, provides a double experience: a full SUV or a chic pickup.

Using the tried-and-tested FCX24 chassis, the K5 Blazer combines the excitement of speed with the delight of raw torque for climbing by means of a two-speed mechanical transmission adjustable via remote. While portal axles improve its off-road prowess and provide unrivaled ground clearance that surpasses difficult terrain and obstacles, mechanical shifting adds still another level of involvement.
