BEST BIG Beginner RC Plane Ready To Fly Kit - FMS RANGER - Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2023
- If you have no RC Hobby equipment but want to get started flying BIG RC Planes, then the FMS Ready To Fly RANGER Kit has everything you need and is perfect for first time pilots to lean flying over land, snow or water.
The FMS RANGER RTF kit is often out of stock or shown as discontinued, but if you search around you can certainly find the RTF Kit. You can also buy the PNP Kit with FLOATS, but the PNP kit lacks the TRANSMITTER and RECEIVER as well as the BATTERY and BATTERY CHARGER (you have to supply those). I've placed a pile of links below for many parts of the world.

Tractor Man probably has his own RUclips channel and he's like "Well well well, look who we got here again? Drone Man."
Love it😂
I'm actually subbed to him, his channel is called Captain Tractor 🤔
Excellent tutorial review video. Really nice RC Plane! Thank you Steve.
one of the best rc plane from fms i have flown.still love it.
Nice flying Steve! Flying off the water is fun as well as relaxing! I enjoy your videos immensely. Your reviews are the best on the internet! Excellent footage and editing. My brother and I also fly near a school in my home-town when I go to visit, due to the big open areas nearby.
Thanks 👍. Happy to know my vids are enjoyed by a fellow pilot.
Insane details decent colors
Great video Steve! Cool little plane!
Steve Just wait for the snow to arrive and then tractor man will stop working
Yes… the end of Tractor man. To be replaced with Snowblower Man!
Or Plow Man!
Edit: These sound like the names of the most boring super heroes ever.
They are doing their job. Why u invite them to join u. Hahaha
This is reallly nice. Great for cottage country in the summer.
Thank you. I had one of my browser windows on my phone open for weeks on the page and it finally became available and I bought it. Just assembled tonight and tested the remote after charging the battery. Can’t wait for the maiden flight!!!
Enjoy!
Fantastic review as usual, beautiful photography! very well done thank you for all your hard work mate🙏
Many thanks!
I like the set up
Hi Steve 👋. A fantastic RC plane.very easy to fly and awesome 👍.
Thank you so much and God bless you 🙏
Thanks for checking out the video
Good afternoon captain really cool review nice plane
Fantastic review and video footage. Love it.
Many thanks!
The case of the dreaded tractor man! great video Steve!!!
Dude! Flying over water! Thanks, Steve!
The fact that you are so interactive on your channel is so cool Steve. I got referred to your channel by some random drone guy after asking newbie questions. I so appreciate your support. Watching from Michigan ✋!
Another very nice plane and video too. Thanks for the review. 👍👍😀
Thanks for watching!
Very cool plane
Beautiful landing on water,😀 well done.
Many thanks!
awsome flying steve. great review.
Thanks 👍
Great flying sir Steve..
Thank you
As always great job with the vide Steve, sold out but I saved link, I will try again in a week. I fly drone, was looking for a beginners plane, and have water front camp in New England, it would be perfect for early morning calm water.
Added bonus, when it's time to graduate to another Transmitter, the receiver in this plane uses the AFHDS protocol from FlSky, easy to emulate with multiprotocol radios and 4-in-1 modules.
Yes, very true!
Explain for dummies like me what AFHDS means.? Please.
@@zstrauss1 It's a radio protocol used by the brand FlySky, to communicate between their transmitters and receivers. It used to be the norm for brands to have their own proprietary protocol. For instance, Spectrum has DSM2 and DSMX, FrSky has ACCST and ACCESS, Futaba has S-FHSS, etc. While they all operate over 2.4ghz, they're doing so in their own languages.
Brands like RadioMaster and Jumper offer most of their radios with an internal module that offers the ability to emulate pretty much every protocol on the market, with lots of external module options for radios that support them.
So in this case, if I bought this plane, and decided I loved RC enough to drop coin on a FlySky Nirvana transmitter, the two would pair up without issue using the built in FlySky AFHDS protocol in both the transmitter and the receiver. The included transmitter is... fine, but it's usually a first upgrade to a RC hangar.
Alternatively, I can use my RadioMaster Zorro, with it's internal multi-protocol module set to "Flysky AFHDS" to bind with the plane's included receiver.
@@zstrauss1 That is the RECEIVER… that small thing in the plane that receives the inputs your TRANSMITTER (the thing in your hands) sends out. All RECEIVERS speak a language and can only be used with a TRANSMITTER that speaks the same language. So this RECEIVER hops from channel to channel to avoid interference and will work with a TRANSMITTER that does the same thing.
Nice RC Plane and review Steve.
Thanks 👍
Fun on water, but scary 😉👍🐥🐥
Looks like my Arrows Trekker, nice 👍 video Captain
Thanks 👍
What's up Capt D?
Love your channel.
Thanks!
Just bought the 850 Ranger. Sweet planes
I was unaware they made an 850 size
Awesome.
Fun video ! 😃
You probably have your reasons for flying off of that rough running track, but you might reconsider going back to the parking lot .
Front wheel on a float plane is just weird!🤣 but I get it .
Fun plane, cheap too !
Great flights and review.
Thanks Steve !
Parking lot has moving cars
Greatvideo,Just got my Ranger a few days ago . I would like to know exactly where and what you looked up for the lights you ordered. And maybe have a video on connecting them.
I believe the link to the lights can be found below this video along with all the other links to items shown in the video, just like every video on RUclips. Zero brain power is required to install the lights.
It’s cool to see a Flysky remote in a RTF.
Flysky is a budget brand. So, it’s a cheap beginner plane. If it was a spektrum, it would be twice more expensive
Yoo thats huge
That tractor guy really does spy on you. He’s always there when you’re out flying 😂
Let's get them drone reviews 👏 going.
unfortunately I live in NYC so I can't fly it here, but I enjoyed your video. Thank you Steve.
Glad you enjoyed it
Well done Captain !!! (on a few fronts!!!); opening sequence was superb! (and music!); was a little worried however with pre launch / set up sound effects !!!; was waiting for a Raptor (Jurassic Park!!!) to totally overrun you!!!!; now, the big one !!! "Tractor Man" !!!; well at least he didn't turn into "Sandman" or "Waterman" !!!!!; jokes aside, what a beautiful looking and versatile RC!; just went online to order and unfortunately its sold out!
I was just advised by FMS that 100 planes will be in stock around end October. Those will sell out quickly as well.
Thanks for the heads up@@CAPTAINDRONE798
Great video sir! I absolutely rely on your co tent for planes and drones. I’ve been flying drones for a couple years now and have recently gotten the fixed wing bug. So far I’ve vaporized an ar wing pro. Haha. It’s okay though, I ordered another. I stalled somehow and hosed I to the ground really hard. My question is how do you secure your cameras to the plane?
I use 3M double sided tape to hold the cameras
Beautiful flight for being the first time on the water. 👍👍🤩🤩 A little tip: your water rudder is facing the wrong way 😊😊
Water rudder is designed as such for this plane (no idea why, but comes this way out of the box and works great)
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 It is installed incorrectly. the largest part must protrude backwards from the rudder itself. It will be much quieter on the water then. I fly seaplanes a lot. 😊😊 But okay.
7:51... Your Rudder is installed backwards... Unless you are taking of in reverse...😉9:10
Which camera did you attach to the wing? Seemed to fly great with the camera installed. Great video!!
Look at the LINKS below the video and you’ll find the link to the camera
I have this plane as I am a new learning pilot and I absolutely love it. I haven't installed the floats yet however but plan to. All I want to be able to do is velcro a camera to the side of the fuse or top center of the wing and record my flights and be able to play them back and post them or share them with friends. I don't necessarily need or want to be able to use goggles, just record from a Go Pro like camera that I can turn on before takeoff and stop recording after I land and then edit out the beginning and end points from there. What do you recommend camera wise that is good but inexpensive and easy to use with maybe a micro SD card? I wish someone would make this easy to understand and explain for us beginners. Thanks Steve!
You need an insta369 camera as I used in the vid (no micro sd card), or you can use one of the small Runcams.
Mine just came in yesterday.
Woohoo! Time for some enjoyable flying.
Hello Steve, have you ever flown the Volentex Ascent 1400? Thinking about getting one and welcome your professional opinion. Thanks, Anthony
I don’t believe I have flown or seen that plane
What do you think the top speed is in mph?
I like the tractor man running gag, i couldnt believe it in the start of the video, I like to believe he's also a you tuber who cant believe there is another dude always flying stuff. this is a really convincing package even for a non beginner :) arent you starting to have storage problems ?
Ha ha. Honestly every human on the planet believes I have every product I have reviewed. Reality is that I have a tiny amount of RC items as I have a tiny storage area. So a plane like this one, will go to someone just getting into the hobby wanting to fly planes in my local area.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 you must come off as a hoarder. Pretty cool, the activity in your local area must be great, I found that with the years flight clubs are near extinction
In the old days, items I reviewed had to be shipped off to the next person to review, so I never really had to worry about storing such items. Most items today, the distributor does not want them back and wants the reviewer to sell the item so as to receive payment for making the review. Most of the items I review end up with my family, extended family and friends so that I can recall them in case I need something for a future video.
Looks like a nice beginner plane. Does it do loops, and rolls or inverted flight?
Already sold out in both versions
Yes, does those very smooth.
What is the weight of the plane? Would you be able to pair a Radiomaster transmitter (CC2500 varient since its FriSky) to it? Im an FPV pilot and do want to casually get into RC plane
I believe a Cc2500 would work. You can always swap out the receiver
The float rudder looks like it should have been fitted the other way round, i.e. blade trailing the post ???
All is correct with the rudder
I agree too. It might have come that way but deflecting the rudder will cause the water pressure to push against the rudder, further deflecting it and causing oversteer. Turned the other way like all my other aircraft means over-pressure will push the rudder back to neutral straitening the plane out as speed increases
Hi been crawling for a little over a year. For 2024 I would like to fly. Does anyone have any different models to suggest or is this the one?
Watch my video on LARGE BEGINNER AIRCRAFT for BEGINNERS
Looks like the rudder is on backwards
I have a flysky radio
WHat cameras are being used on board the Rc plane?? THanks
Insta360 cameras. The link is below the video.
Thanks i saw the link but they looked so big in the picture, i wasnt sure if that was the right link. Great videos! thanks for amazingly quick response! @@CAPTAINDRONE798
👍👍
I have a naive question: Is there any sort of range warning with entry level planes like this or do you just wing it (pun intended)?
You only fly as far as you can see the plane. There is never any worry of range when keeping the plane in sight.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thanks!
Petrie Island!
Correct!
🚜Tractor Man is a serious RC stalker!👀😆
I think he has place an AirPod in my camera bag
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 lol Steve, thanks for the video, its a cool plane.🛩😀
Does anyone know if FMS do a flight simulator?
Yes, the sell the remote that you can use with software simulators you download. www.fmshobby.com/en-ca/products/rc-flight-simulator
Why is it FMS only ships certain planes to Canada. I’ve been trying to get their kingfisher or pa -18 1300 or 1700 mm from FMS but they won’t ship them to Canada. Well I guess I’ll try a twinber from Horizon although that’s not I really want. We need a Hobby Shop in Cape Breton ANY TAKERS
You are using the incorrect website perhaps. If you are Canadian, I place the Canadian links below my reviews because I get my FMS planes from the Canadian FMS store. If this is all new to you, just watch any of my reviews and click on the Canadian link. You can then find other planes on the Canadian FMS store.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798
Yes I am pretty new to the hobby and I am from Cape Breton I’ve been using the Canadian sight and the 1220 mm ranger is all they have in that style of plane to ship to Canada. Lots of WarBirds and jets but that’s a little too aggressive for me right now. I thank you for your videos I’ve learned quite a bit from your channel.
You do a great job helping us newbie’s out thanks for the info
Thanks. Check back on the FMS Canada hobby next month as I understand that FMS is sending a restocking to the Canadian site before the Christmas rush.
If I'm not mistaken this plane has a GPS and Geo Fence feature? There was absolutely no mention or demonstration of that? Very dissapointed about that...sigh.
Yes… YOU ARE MISTAKEN! This is the plane you are confusing: ruclips.net/video/kcDiF9Xkvz4/видео.htmlsi=MBnTNQ9abwaeTOsT
Invite the tractor man to fly your planes. Maybe he'll let you drive the tractor 🙂
Excellent suggestion! Hope the tractor has prop guards & obstacle avoidance!
I am self taught. Like yourself.
Excellent!
I cant connect the water rudder to the servo
Can someone help me
How could you not connect it??? Watch my video again. The servo cable is the same connection as that for the front wheel. Watch the video again & pay attention to where I say Connect cable to rudder.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 I dont know where to plug the cable in (im kinda new to the hobby😅)
@@Remile_real it goes in the RUDDER. You have a RUDDER in the tail and one in the nose landing gear (two cables). There is probably a 3 way connector cable in the kit so you can have 3 RUDDERS. Give it some thought and you’ll figure it out.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 i found it, there was an extra cable that allowed 2 cable to go in channel 4 so my RUDDER channel and now it works
Link did not work.
There are many links
Oh no looks like they are discontinuing this model 😢 have you heard?
Nope… stores just run out of stock with no refills date so they show discontinued but then they come back in stock. Search around Goggle and you’ll certainly find a store with stock.
@@CAPTAINDRONE798 awesome to hear. I am a beginner and wish I knew more about what charger and batteries to buy also for quick charges.
@@brandonwesson6818Just search for this plane and look for the RTF version. RTF means READY TO FLY, which means everything you need (battery, charger, remote, receiver, plane) comes in the box and ready to fly.
I gotcha. Guess I was getting ahead of myself thinking the included charger might be slow but ill wait till I get and use it and slowly work my way up like you have. Thanks so much for responding!
To bad they are Sold Out
No, no, no. I’m a beginner. You’re leading people to believe that a beginner with no knowledge of rc planes go out and buy a $250 fms ranger. Maybe that was not your intent. I’d highly suggest the Volantex Ranger600, a foamie RTF that is under $100. Fly that 10-20 times Then look at your next plane.
This is my BIG plane recommended Ready To Fly kit for absolute beginners. Easy to assemble, everything included, has stability, has floats. Can’t beat this BIG baby!
Ok, we can agree to disagree. No first time beginner pilot should start out on that. Even a $60 3 channel rtf toy is a cheap way to get started and learn basic flying. Gotta think in the minds of someone who is a beginner. Captain Steve was never a beginner.
I seen this plane in Calgary for a real good price.
