Take Flight with the FMS Futura PNP EDF Sport Jet

By: Tim Gluth

New from FMS is its latest R/C aircraft release, the Futura PNP EDF Sport Jet. Sleek styling and easy-to-assemble construction should make this an intriguing option for intermediate-level R/C pilots.

With its foam construction, the Futura's sleek shape is very lightweight, allowing it to take off quickly. A 64mm, 11-blade fan and 2840-KV3150 brushless motor provide the power for this plane, and its CNC-machined landing gear helps ensure you'll get it back on the ground safely.

Three color options are available for the Futura PNP; yellow, red, and green. To get this plane up in the air, you'll need to supply a transmitter, receiver, batteries (aircraft and transmitter), and charger.
