The Perfect RC Airplane for Beginners – FMS Ranger V2 (1220mm)

The FMS Ranger V2 is the latest addition to the FMS multi-purpose aircraft lineup. It carries forward the well-known stable flight performance, easy assembly, and realistic general-aviation design that FMS pilots love.

Crafted from ultralight EPO foam, the Ranger’s large, high-wing airframe delivers smooth handling, excellent lift, and forgiving flight characteristics—even at slower speeds. Durable plastic wing struts add strength for aerobatics, while the spring-cushioned “crash-proof” nose gear ensures effortless take-offs and landings.

Powering the Ranger is a 3136-1200KV brushless outrunner motor with a 20A Predator ESC, giving it the ability to climb almost vertically on demand.

For visibility and orientation, the Ranger V2 is available in red, yellow, or green colour schemes—easy to spot, even in cloudy skies. Assembly is beginner-friendly, requiring just a few screws and twist-locks. Thanks to its two-piece fuselage and wing design, the packaging is 30% smaller, making transport and storage simple.

The Ranger V2 also comes equipped with the Reflex V3 flight stabilization system, offering Stabilized, Optimized, and Manual flight modes—perfect for pilots of all skill levels.

Whether you’re starting your RC journey or looking for a dependable everyday flyer, the Ranger V2 is a versatile, beginner-friendly aircraft with advanced features at an unbeatable value.
