Question: Did your 64mm Futura come with wing damage from the wing sitting on top of the battery hatch in packaging? I got mine in the mail today and there was 2 big holes smushed into the wing from it. I was worried when I saw Brian Philips video but I wasnt sure if yours had it as well. Mine sure did and it is very upsetting. Although yes it is a -$200 rc model we should still not have a vrand new plane come damaged because of poor packaging. I am going to send an email in hopes that they will replace the wing and then we can see for certain if FMS is in fact a good company. But my reason to bring this up is to ask if yours had any damage from the wing sitting on top of the battery compartment latch in shipping. Definitely something that really will upset alot of folks if they are expecting to receive a brand new rc model. I hope FMS fixes this for folks and definitely hope they fix packaging for future consumers. 🙏🏻
Literally the slow boat from China. Enjoy her when she arrives, i have flown her with and without a gyro and if you don't want to spend the money on one then don't, she flies fine without.
@@jeffdavis6715 That is good, you fly in any way that gets you in the air!!! just strive to get away from safe so you can grow and expand in the rc plane hobby. Think of safe as training wheels.
Last week, after a long wait, I bought 2 of these from Turbines-RC, one for my son and one for myself as we like to fly in formation. Unfortunately both models suffered from ESC malfunction. After less than 2 minutes of flying the ESC goes into emergency mode, leaving just the servos working for an emergency landing. The cause is that the ESC is 40Amp while the motor draws 48Amp. We are very very disappointed considering the fact that for a 64mm EDF is very expensive, being more than Eur 80 dearer than the Motion RC Banshee. This also leaves me thinking that FMS does not test their electronics. Sadly I DO NOT recommend this model.
Well i was trying to keep her out of the videos because she doesn't like being on camera, I try to referee to her as my Camera lady because she certainly is, She in my lady!
Man what a great MAIDEN!!
Long Live FMS!
Very nice Gary!

I have the Banshee so I must have this one too. I run SMC LIHV 2800 mAh 4s . My Banshee hauls ass with that extra power.
Same setup as the banshee. that little signaL wire off the ESC is reveres.
Sweetie 💚💚
Strange she didn’t take off the grass. Some have done it and it looked easy. It seems that grass on your runway is pretty thick like a deep carpet… 👍🏼
Well I had a heavy battery than normal, I could have moved the cg back a bit and it would have.
@@FatGuyFliesRC OK! I’ll try it in February , or I’ll need maybe skis ⛷️ xD
Do you spray can your clear coat or foam brush it on. ?.
Spray can
Bonjour petit jet cool comment faite vous pour avoir un marche arrière variante sur les gaz bonne journée merci pour la vidéo à bientôt

Sorry to hear that, no mine were fine.
Looks like a shortened Marlin . Think its better than a marlin?
Well the Marlin is the Avanti design and the Futura is the Tomahawk design. Both fly amazing but if I had to choose one it would be the Futura.
I just bought this on Aliexpress for $130. Cant wait to get it, wont be till January 😡

@FatGuyFliesRC I'm still new to flying so the safe will be helpful

@FatGuyFliesRC i try to stay in asx3 but like the safty net when and if I need it
Difficult to choose between it and the yak!
Well I have the Freewing Yak 130 and I love it! Not sure if that helps. If you use my code and link in this video you can take $10 off the price.

Was this both planes or just yours?
@FatGuyFliesRC yes both models suffered from the same problem. We are going to change the ESC's.
Please dont call your wife Camera Crew .
Thats an insult
U better non watch Bryan Phillips he does the same lol
@flystol ya I know , saying camera crew sounds like you might be overweight
