FMS Civil Airplane 1500mm Cessna 182 Blue PNP
by FMS

Take to the skies with the incredibly detailed and versatile FMS 1500mm Cessna 182 Blue PNP (Plug-and-Play). Officially authorized by Textron Innovations Inc., this scale remote control airplane adheres to the FMS philosophy of "Scale appearance, excellent performance." Whether you are an RC hobbyist looking for a reliable weekend flyer, an educator needing a stable fixed-wing platform for high school or college STEM programs, or an sUAS manufacturer/contractor testing autonomous flight controllers, this aircraft is engineered to meet your needs.

Built from lightweight, crash-resistant EPO foam, the FMS Cessna 182 perfectly replicates the real-world aircraft's reliability and ease of operation. It boasts exceptional Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) capabilities, making it ideal for tight runways and rough terrain. The patented high-strength tricycle landing gear and oversized pneumatic tires absorb impact effectively, ensuring smooth ground handling.

For the FPV and drone market, the spacious two-section fuselage provides ample room for custom flight controllers, video transmitters, and camera gear. Government and military contractors will appreciate its predictable low-speed flight performance, making it a robust, low-cost trainer or experimental testbed. Packed with high-end features like a 40A ESC with reverse thrust, a powerful 3541-KV840 motor, and pre-installed navigation lights for low-light visibility, the FMS Cessna 182 is a premium addition to any fleet.
