FMS (Airfield) Messerschmitt BF-109 Radio Control Warbird

This is a foam Messerschmitt BF-109 by FMS (Airfield) of China. It features a 1.4 meter wingspan, a very torquey brushless outrunner motor spinning a 14x8 Master Airscrew prop (custom), worm drive retractable undercarriage (very cool) and nice scale detail. It's powered by a Turnigy 3000mha 4s 30c LiPo battery (custom) which enables about a 13 minute flight time and more than ample power. Takeoff weight is approximately 1.8kg. This is only the 3rd or 4th flight for the plane and it's proving to be a lot of fun. Next step is to enable the flaps for some slower landing speeds and a little more involvement. If you have been thinking about one of these FMS warbirds then I can highly recommend the BF-109! Hope you enjoy the video.

Does it come with radio system? If not, how many channels are needed? I have a 2.4GHz, 4-ch radio system.

@rva1945 I think there is a ready to fly version, otherwise you will need at least a 5ch radio if you want to use the retracts.

having 4 turbines plus other gas planes i thought i would buy one of these just to mess around with bottom line there trash look ok but just junk made out of egg crate foam save your bucks and buy a park zone which i did over 200 flights on it now great fun

@storchnuts Haha, you're funny. These are good planes, certainly not parkzone out-of-the box ready though. Parkzone just don't have the size of FMS warbirds which is why I like these :)

Hi

I like your green "runway" What is it made of ?

[eclipser2004]

@TheSuperrc I think 35-36 is too small. Maybe a 42-50?

[eclipser2004]

Flew mine with the CG as stated in the manual and almost wrecked the plane. It was totally uncontrollable at anything less than 70 per cent power. like when landing! Had to move it ahead 15mm ( or more ) with a 3000 mah 4 cell

So it has a 14x8 Master Airscrew, but what type of spinner and backplate did you use? I built mine last night and can't wait to try it!
