Trainer RC Plane Review Notes:

Pros:
- Ready to fly with little assembly out of the box
- Nice and rigid EPO foam
- Tricycle landing gear
- Powerful 2S brushless motor
- GPS & Return to home functionality
- Nav light in the nose to indicate GPS being engaged

Cons:
- No AA batteries
- GPS protocol is more confusing than it should be for a beginner plane.

This is how FMS describes this RC Airplane:

"Skill, know-how and space has always been limiting factors in bringing new enthusiasts into the wonderful world of RC Aviation, until now!

FMS has always been dedicated to enabling pilots of every skill level to enjoy the thrills of flight. Innovation, then is in our DNA.

FMS is proud to announce the 850mm Ranger. Like its sibling, the high winged airframe design with a tricycle landing gear, is very easy to fly by default. A dedicated flight control paired with a GPS system allows pilots to fly under beginner, intermediate, and fully manual flight modes. An innovative flight perimeter fence and return to home functions provide bulletproof reliability and ease of mind- flying has never been so simple.

Flight perimeter fence function: if the aircraft is in excess of 120m away from the pilot, the aircraft will return to home automatically, with the pilot having the option of taking over the controls at any time. Once over the home point, the aircraft will circle at a 25M altitude at roughly 40km/h.

Return to home function: in the off change that the pilot loses orientation of the aircraft, the return to home function can be trigger and the aircraft will flight back to the home point. Like the flight perimeter function, this function does not take away the pilot's ability to control the aircraft at any time. Once over the home point, the Ranger circles until further control inputs are given.

Absolute beginner rejoice! The FMS 850mm Ranger has everything the is needed for flight! A 12A esc/receiver combo reduce the need to connect cables and a 2315-3850kv motor, 7.4V 850mAh 25C battery and four 1.9g micro servos give the lightweight 305g aircraft incredible performance. Fly at a small park, basketball court, or even your own back yard!

The innovative 850mm Ranger is the perfect way to start earning your wings!"

Stay tuned for the maiden flight of this plane, the FMS Pitts, and the E-flite Turbo Timber Evolution.
