Introductions

FMS is pleased to announce that all 64mm ducted fan aircrafts are being upgraded. Inspired by the superior 

features of the original model, F-18 version two (V2) has improved mechanical and structural features that will 

enhance air performance and decrease assembly time. 

The fiber pipe greatly enhances the wing strength for enhanced flying maneuvers. Improved main wing set and 

landing gear installation optimizes strength of structure and reduces assembly time. 

The latest 64mm ducted fan can achieve more than 800 grams of thrust. 

The differences in speeds between the V1 and V2 will be noticeable. If you possess the “need for speed,” 

accessories such as missiles can be removed to create a faster more streamlined model. 

Upgrades

    

495mm fiber pipe inserted through the fuselage and main wing

    

Use of four inner-hexagon screws instead of glue improves main wing set and landing gear installation optimizing 

strength of structure.
