Ordered a pa-18 1700mm and 2 batteries. The plane is shipped with fed ex and the batteries shipped by usps. Why not have one company del all? Been roughly a week later and batteries are 2 days late. First and last time i buy from a company who choses poor shipping methods.
Response from FMS HobbyMar 20, 2026
Thank you for your order and for sharing your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the separate shipments. The PA-18 1700mm is an oversized item, which requires special handling and shipping via FedEx. Unfortunately, due to size and carrier restrictions, additional items like batteries cannot be shipped together with the plane and sent separately via USPS. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience, and we’ll continue working to provide the best shipping options possible for our customers.

The directions do not include the wiring. You have to go to youtube to get them. Even then the flaps only work on one side and only one solenoid works on the elevator. The plane is easy to put together otherwise. Great to look at, but that is all,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the assembly straightforward and the plane visually appealing. We appreciate your comments regarding the wiring and flap/elevator setup, and we will pass this feedback to our product team to help us continuously improve our instructions and manuals. Thank you for your understanding and support.

I bought the FMS Beaver 800mm RTF with GPS as a beginner because the Return-to-Home feature seemed like a good safety option. Unfortunately, during a flight the plane flew away and the GPS Return-to-Home did not work at all, resulting in the plane being lost. If you’re buying this model for the Return-to-Home feature, be aware it may not work as expected and you may lose your money.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the issue with the Return-to-Home feature on your FMS Beaver 800mm. We understand how frustrating it must be to lose your plane. Please rest assured that we will forward your feedback to our Product and R&D teams so they can continue to improve and optimize this feature in future updates. Your input is very valuable to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Thank you for your understanding and support.

The item I purchased was marketed as a beginners model but I found the instructions are missing basic setup and general operating instructions critical for beginners to have for successful operation. After your fleshly assembled model is smashed, customer service advises you should have gotten instructions needed for operation from third-party sources. Really? Don't expect them to stand behind any mishaps from the omissions. Would not recommend...

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you found the instructions less than complete. We’ll share your comments with our product team as we continue to improve our manuals. We appreciate your understanding.

My experience with FMS is nothing short of abysmal. Purchased a Discovery 1/24 for our son for Christmas.. opened Xmas day and the gear system was broken. The shop (FMS seller) were great and replaced very quickly. They emailed to say the fault was a factory gear box issue. Since replacing the new one has completely died 3 weeks later after minimal use.. Tried to contact FMS - Good luck.. they don't reply and orders that state UK stock aren't. I placed an order on 15th Feb for a couple of parts and still nothing.. chased twice no reply. Left with a upset 9 year old boy who is gutted that his main Xmas present is still broken with no sign of us resolving. Avoid.
