You're right.. The Ranger is an all around great plane and the floats on snow are a blast. Hope to hit some water with the floats too... Thanks for watching and commenting.. - Will
Will great video I know when you and Adam brought it out the first time I pick one up to take new flyers up and slow mellow flying days I have 15 flights on it and still looks good and fly's great every time good update video 😊👍👍👍👍
Your videos are great man!! I just ordered the ranger! I’ve been in the fence for the last year about making the jump to planes but with your videos it’s definitely gave me that bit of confidence to pull the trigger on it! Thanks again man i definitely look forward to learning all I can and keep the great content coming!!
Thanks for the kind words.. Really appreciate it. I've made a mess of videos for the beginner pilot. You might want to check them out in my play lists. If you have any questions or suggestions for content, I'm always interested. Thanks Will
Really nice 'how to' video. There is a LOT to cover - and not slip up about something. Like on the wing spar deal - very good that you edited to show that the missing wing spar was the issue. Excellent review !
You know me.. I really try to give a full review of these planes. I'll point out the concerns, but over all its a great trainer plane.. Thanks for the comments..
Super detailed Will. Excellent. Really glad you talked about the limitations on the RTF TX. Better transmitters have the ability to make planes fly better/different with simple programming. Very well done my friend!
Thanks brother.. It was a LONG video and I wanted to include everything in it, but ran out of time (30min is the max....) You and I know, this is a solid fun plane, the RTF TX has the limitations, but will get that new pilot in the air and having fun.. Then they need to get a better TX for sure...
perfect video, answered all my questions... I was having troubles with the elevator being straight and screwing that clevis in works just how i needed thanks!
Great little through and through video step-by-step from start to finish I thoroughly enjoyed that everything you possibly needed to know to get it up and running and a few very great tips on the surfaces and transmitter.
I love this plane my friend and thanks for those parts you sent me. your a true friend and I appreciate that. Im going to get it back up soon. so easy to fly no worries just fly but dont do what I did and get to nuts and nose dive by no paying attention to what your doing. Thanks again and I appreciate it. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching. Its a great plane for sure. I made a whole Beginner Series using this plane. btw, there are FMS discount codes in several of my FMS plane videos. help yourself... Thanks Will
Scott, Its a perfect plane to get back into the hobby.. I'd suggest you invest in a better TX or get a Reflex V3 gyro to install, so you can dial down the throws.. I did a video of this plane on floats. Snow and Water.. They are on my channel. Discount codes are usually in the description to save you a few bucks. Good luck - Will
Very fun little plane, i installed flaps on mine and it made it much more fun to fly. I think i may just get another one as mines getting in a little rough shape. It also does great on water when its fairly calm out.
Just got one as my 2nd plane, 1st one lasted 10 seconds 😂, awaiting realflight evo sim to arrive weds to have a quick practice while wait for some decent weather. Awesome video, hopefully i get 20 seconds this time 😅
Oh no.. Thats a bummer. Getting that first 5 flights without destroying your plane can be a challenge. The Sim will help with eye/hand coordination for sure.. That reflex Stabilization mode is sure handy for starting out... Good luck on your 2nd plane.. May it live a long time... - Will
Excellent review, but at 25:25 I would have done a control and gyro direction test before taxiing out. Demonstrate that raising a wingtip causes the aileron on that side to deflect upward to push that tip back down and then raise the tail and show that the elevator deflects upward to push the tail back down. Then I would have taxied the plane about 100 feet away and done a range test. I know you said to mechanically reduce the throw, but I would have said to move the pushrods in one hole on the servo arms and to make sure the pushrods are in the outer hole on the control horns. Also, regular Loctite will eat some plastics. I like FMS planes, but they should have put a carbon fiber rod in that wing. Good call on the tape over the reversing switches. 👍😎
Yep.. I agree with everything you said.. That wasn't the maiden flight for this plane, so I left some parts out.. I've shown the Gyro test on other Ranger videos and to be honest the length of this video was getting pretty long..😎. Its so hard to cram everything that goes into these assemblies, flights and reviews into a video that folks will watch. Thanks again, I really appreciate your comments. You're always helping me make my videos better... Thanks Will
@@SteffenRC Yeah, I use ClipChamp which will only let me record for 30 minutes. I frequently run out of time. But, it will let me add more to it if I set it at the end of the previous clip. However, I think most people won’t watch much more than 15 minutes.
Thanks, I have always thought about this plane, you get a charger too nice! After getting the aeroscout, I should of gotten this one, I like how the Cessna style planes behave. I did get the ranger 800 mm the wings are really efficient airfoil, that helps when u try to stretch a battery for longer flight time
This is a solid plane the RTF version is fine, but the TX and battery charger are on the basic side. Perfect for the pilot who doesn't already have those items.. But, I'd replace them if I wanted to go to the next level.... Thanks for the comments.. Will
Hey, I just got my Ranger 1200 V2. I think I am missing something. The cable from the Reflex V2 "AIL" output is NOT a splitter cable and they did not supply any adaptor to connect both aileron cables from the wings. How did you do that connection? Am I missing something. All videos I've watched say the AIL cable is a Y cable (1 into 2). Mine is not.
Louis, There should be a y-cable attached to the reflex gyro from the factory. It should be plugged into the TOP "Ail" plug. If thats only a single, that wrong. You must have a y-cable for the wing servos to connect to the gyro. I'd buy one from Amazon and send a not to FMS about sending you one. In this hobby, having a few y cables and extensions is pretty handy.. Really sorry about that.. Let me know.
Great review crammed full of information and tips! I am thinking of getting into RC flying in my retirement (63yrs old) and this looks a good start. I have looked at some 400 and 450mm models but they look very 'twitchy' in flight where this has some presence and seemed to fly more steady. Would you agree?
Peter, those little planes are fun, but not ideal to learn to fly with. I’m a fan of bigger flies better. Since my eyes aren’t great, a bigger plane is just easier to see. Also, they fly smoother. I recently made a video on the latest version of this Ranger. A solid beginner plane for sure. The RTF version is ok, as the transmitter is very basic. If you plan on getting into the hobby, I’d suggest a better TX/RX system. Lots of options. Good luck. Will
Thank you, I will look up your other video. Yes, lots of options that are bewildering to a newbie! The same for any new hobby or activity. RUclips is my friend!😊
I've flown it with a 1300 3S all the way to a 2200 3S. But I've settled on an 1800. The battery compartment is designed for a 1300 and you'll get 5min of flight with those..
I use two methods on the plane that don't have RX/TX battery telemetry. 1st, I use a timer and find the right time after a mess of flights. I usually don't fly more than 5 minutes on any of my planes.. (I lose concentration....). The 2nd thing, I use a FMS Predator Battery voltage alarm that can give me an audible alarm when the battery reaches a specified voltage. Easy to use and can be transferred from plane to plane. I made a video on that Voltage alarm..
on my sites grass runway my ranger keeps nosing over on take off and landings my instructor at a stand still the nose is too low and the prop too near the ground, can the nose wheel be adjusted to prevent the nosing over. Thanks
That landing gear on grass can be a pain in the butt. One of the best things about this Ranger is the landing gear. One of the worse things about this Ranger... The landing gear... So, You brought me a fun challenge for me to figure out how to stiffen the spring, but not too much. I just tested one theory and it actually did a pretty good job.. I removed the gear from the plane and slid a section of heat shrink tubing over the spring and lower part of the LG. I didn't extend above the spring since that would interfere with the installation. I'm going to play around with other ideas, but you might try the heat shrink tuning. Love to hear if it helps.. - Will
@ thanks for tip, I did not have any heat shrink so used some tape around the spring, tested on wet grass outside my flats and no nose overs I will now get some heat shrink that might work better than tape. Any tips on how to get the plane a bit more nose up when sitting on the ground.👍
You might be able to find a slightly taller front wheel. Also a washer/spacer on that nose wheel gear flange where is stops at the fuselage. The combo might give you a little height.. But not much...
I have my timer set for 5. But really it depends on your flying style. If you are jamming full throttle, its not gonna last that much... I've been flying with 1800mah 3 S and I'll go for 6-8min of mixed flying.
I'd keep the FMS Reflex and just get a Spektrum AR620 or a Lemon RX 7 Channel. Both are cheap options... That RTF TX isn't the best option for success with this plane.. (IMHO)
Hello, can you tell us what the switch positions are for beginner optimized and expert, I believe expert is in middle, is the begginer mode switch downward? So you can slam the switch down to save from crashing? This is a very fun plane, my first electric after 35 yrs of gas planes 🤪
If you are referring to the RTF version. The Reflex has the 3 modes. Stabilization mode, which is self level. I think thats in the position that is towards the pilot (To by honest, I don't have the RTF version with that Flysky TX, I can't remember which way the switch goes). You can tell you are in this mode because the control surfaces will move and remain in place until the plane is level. For example, hold the plane with the prop facing you. Bank the plane with the right wing up, the aileron on the right/raised wing will be up and remain until you level the wings. The other mode is Optimized, which helps with windy conditions. When you test it, you'll notice the aileron will rise, but return to level even if that wing is banked.. The middle position is no gyro engaged... Hope this helps.
@@SteffenRC ok thanks, I think it's Beginner Expert Intermediate I cannot believe they don't tell you in the instructions but... It's flyable in any mode just need to know which way to slam the switch when " gravity comes a callin' " lol I gave my 17 yr old one of these so after seeing it fly we now have 4 others guys now addicted, we have 6 mini warbirds we all fly, and we end the session with everyone having a go at this perfect size plane
Hi ya firstly video is great and very helpful so i would like to say thank you. I do have a question I'm completely new to this hobby and orded myself the fms ranger but due to being new what mode would you suggest i fly in ie stabilizer mode or self leveling mode ?
Hello Michelle, Thanks for watching my video. The Ranger 1220 is a wonderful trainer and should enable you to learn how to fly these rc planes. I made a series of videos about HOW TO FLY RC PLANES. Take a look at my channel for this. It should help. The Gyro in the Ranger has 3 modes. Stabilized Mode(Self Leveling) which is ideal for new pilots. Optimized Mode (wind correction for smoother flying) is for when you have some basic piloting skills. The other mode is OFF. No gyro assist at all. Again, I encourage you to check out my beginner series. Good luck. Will
You can. I typically fly with the 1300mah, but the plane will handle a 2200. It might be a bit nose heavy, but she can handle it.. I like the lighter batteries. The plane flies a bit better and the CG is perfect for those nose high landings.. Good luck, she's a great plane.
The RTF (ready to fly) version has a transmitter that doesnt have a flight timer. The more expensive transmitters have an actual flight timer you can set on your transmitter, with voice or audible notifications. The timer is useful to remind you how much time you have on your flight. For example, I know from testing that this plane will use up 70% of its battery during a 5 min flight. So, I set the timer to 5min. I'll be notified of the time and can land without an emergency (running out of battery).. Hope that helps... Will
"Throw" is the amount of angle on the control surface. The more "throw" the more that control surface will effect the planes maneuvering. Too much and the plane can be too sensitive to fly. It will be very erratic. Reducing the throw or increase the "Expo" (reducing sensitivity on the transmitter sticks) is good for newer pilots. I hope that answer helps. Thanks for the watching the video. Will
Alex, I'm trying to remember the 2 red cables during the assembly. Not sure I know which red cables you are referring to. I'm more than happy to help. Will
This was a great video! This is one of my favorite planes. Floats and wheels. My favorite is the front landing gear its awesome on hard landings!
You're right.. The Ranger is an all around great plane and the floats on snow are a blast. Hope to hit some water with the floats too... Thanks for watching and commenting.. - Will
I have put my front landing gear through the ringer..landed on it so hard the plane stopped instantly and still didnt break it lol
Awesome, this id a great sturdy plane!
@user-bk6jk9tp8o I agree 100% recommend it.

@SteffenRC it was, I ordered new wings and servos but the wings have been on backorder forever so I used the servos for flaps 😅
finally a good tutorial how to setup the palne

How do you know how much battery life you have left? Do you fly it on a timer or is there like an audible or visual warning?
I use two methods on the plane that don't have RX/TX battery telemetry. 1st, I use a timer and find the right time after a mess of flights.

I could be wrong but I think you may have forgotten the front screw on the front landing gear before you put the cover on
Funny thing. There is a hole in the alum landing gear, but no screw insert in the fuse.. At least the 3 I've assembled don't have it.
If I bought a ready to fly version can I use the bind plug and bind it to an nx8. ?
The RTF rx won't work with the Spektrum system. You'll need to swap it out for a DSMX compatible rx.. Lots of affordable options..
@@SteffenRC I thought that might be the case. Thanks
I'd keep the FMS Reflex and just get a Spektrum AR620 or a Lemon RX 7 Channel. Both are cheap options... That RTF TX isn't the best option for success with this plane.. (IMHO)
BTW HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL WEIGHT IT CAN CARRY?
Not sure. I'm sure a few 100 grams. As you add weight, you run into issues with flight performance. For a beginner plane, I wouldn't add too much....
We’re gonna have to look at those wing supports on mine….
We'll keep an eye on it for sure...
Does the plane have enough room for a 3S 3300mAh LiPo battery?
A 3300mah will be too big and heavy. A 2200 is as big as I go. Usually get 6-8min flight time. Depending.
@@SteffenRC thanks man!
A 2200 only barely fits, I had to trim a 45’ bevel on the foam to clear the wires at the end of the battery
Good job, Will.
Appreciate all the help Earl.. You take the best Thumbnail pics for sure....

Hey not sure if you went over this but how long does the battery pack last?.. like how long will it fly for.
@@UnluckierCS not sure if I did either… but. I set the timer at 5min with a 1300mah battery. You could easily go 6min if flying easy..
@@SteffenRC i ended up watching a couple more videos apparently it flys for about 10 minutes up to 15. Amazing job flying it by the way 👏
what battery attachment does it have?
The battery plug? Its an XT60 connection. The battery attaches to the battery compartment with velcro

The RTF (ready to fly) version has a transmitter that doesnt have a flight timer.

What is "throw"?
"Throw" is the amount of angle on the control surface. The more "throw" the more that control surface will effect the planes maneuvering. Too much and the plane can be too sensitive to fly. It will be very erratic. Reducing the throw or increase the "Expo" (reducing sensitivity on the transmitter sticks) is good for newer pilots. I hope that answer helps. Thanks for the watching the video. Will
a Great video !!!
Thanks. Appreciate it...
