FMS- Hellcat F6F

Short Description

Take your RC flying to the next level with the FMS 800ARF — an “Almost Ready-to-Fly” (ARF) 800 mm wingspan electric aircraft kit, built in durable EPO foam, designed to deliver stable sport/trainer flying performance with scale look and easy assembly.

Key Features

• Durable, lightweight EPO foam construction — designed to absorb beginner mishaps and offer easy field repair.

• Approximately 800 mm wingspan class — large enough to give visible, satisfying flight behaviour, yet small enough for manageable transport and moderate fields.

• ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) format — major air-frame and linkages are pre-built; you supply the radio gear, battery and charger according to your preference.

• Sport/trainer configuration — This class of FMS models often feature gentle flying characteristics, making them a smart step up for pilots who have mastered micro/mini planes and are ready for a more serious model. (By comparison: the FMS “800mm Easy Trainer” model is noted for durability and beginner-friendly stability.) 

• Scale-friendly size — the 800 mm span size gives enough presence in the air for good visibility, decent wind resistance (compared to smaller models) and enjoyable performance.

Technical Specifications (Estimated)

Since the exact published specs for “800ARF” are limited, here is a typical spec-set for an 800mm class FMS model (your actual kit may vary):

• Wingspan: ~800 mm (≈ 31.5 in)

• Flying weight: approximately several hundred grams (depending on battery)

• Material: EPO foam

• Completion level: ARF (you must install your own receiver, battery, and possibly additional electronics)

• Required: 4-channel (or more) transmitter & receiver, appropriate LiPo battery, charger, ESC, motor (if not pre-installed)

• Skill level: Intermediate (beginners may use it but should ensure basic RC aircraft skills first)

Why It’s a Great Choice

• For pilots stepping up from micro-planes or smaller trainers, the 800mm class offers a meaningful upgrade: better visibility, smoother flight behaviour, and more presence in the air.

• The ARF format means less building-labor than a scratch kit, but still gives you the flexibility to select your favourite gear (radio, battery, motor) to suit your region, preferences and budget.

• Durable foam means it’s more forgiving of minor bumps and landings, making it a practical choice for a “second” plane you can use for fun, intermediate flying or honing your skills.

• Its size makes it transportable and less intimidating than large warbirds or high-end scale models, yet large enough to be flown in many club fields or decent open flying areas.

Ideal For

• RC pilots who have mastered basic flight on simple trainer models and are ready for a “step up” model that’s still manageable.

• Hobbyists looking for a kit-style aircraft where they can choose their own gear and customise to taste.

• Club flyers who want a good general-purpose electric plane for sport flying, general aerobatics or relaxed flying sessions.

• South African RC pilots who fly at local fields and want a model size that fits within moderate wind conditions and typical RC field space.
