My FMS Pitts RC Plane Review Notes:

Pros:
- Excellent paint and decal application.
- 6S Pitts Power
- Can break down for transport with a little effort.
- Once assembled, it it built like a TANK with robust construction.
- Highly detailed panel lines and rivets.
- Only needs a 4 channel RX, so you save money there.
- The plane flies and lands WAY better than my E-flite Pitts 850mm RC Plane.
- I flew is successfully with Spektrum Smart 6S 30C 5000 (SPMX50006S30).

Cons:
- The screws could have been labeled better for a quicker and easier assembly.
- Horizontal stab plastic struts were not fun, but care was taken and it worked out just fine.

This is how FMS Describes this Big Pitts RC Plane:

"The Pitts Special is a light aerobatic biplane designed by Curtis Pitts. It has accumulated many competitions wins since its first flight in 1944. The Pitts biplanes dominated world aerobatic competition in the 1960s and 1970s and, even today, remain a potent competition aircraft in the lower categories.

Built upon the successful V1 Pitts biplane, FMS is proud to announce the brand-new Pitts V2. Redesigned with a massive 1400mm wingspan, the Pitts V2 is constructed of lightweight and robust EPO foam material. Proprietary connector plugs built into the wing structure means that the wings can be attached to and detached from the fuselage using just a few screws. The slide-fit wing struts are just as simple, slide them on in just a few seconds and the wing is securely braced!

An oversized battery bay accommodates most 6S packs with ease- giving the pilot ample power to attempt all aerobatic maneuvers. Hobbywing 50A ESC provides bulletproof performance!

While ensuring that the Pitts Special is faithfully recreated, FMS has worked hard to minimize its profit margins in the hopes that pilots who love the Pitts V2 will find it affordable.

With graceful lines from a bygone era, robust airframe and a state-of-the-art power system, the Pitts V2 is a model you shouldn’t miss!"
