Official FMS 1400mm Votec 322 Thread

Just had this happen today.

[Hemidoo]

Here's a paint code from Lowes , near perfect match for the orange ! I've picked up a little hanger rash transporting this big bird .

[Hemidoo]

Four more flights today in a pretty good wind of about 15mph . I'm getting the rates turned up slowly and doing some snappy rolls and loops . Checked all the screws and ball links over , all looking good and tight . Getting 8 mins with a year old 5000mah 6s Gens-ace.

Thanks for the input...Glad the maiden went well! I will have to snag one soon.

[Hemidoo]

The only thing I've found so far that needed modifications was the wheel axle bolts were to short to grab the loc-nut , i just replaced them with ones 5mm longer .

[Hemidoo]

I got about 25 mins. of flying time today on my new Votec ! Apparently I'm getting better at setting up new planes as i only needed 2 clicks of up trim :-) I ran with the 5000mah 6s packs .. I've got a set of 3300mah 6s when I'm ready to try some actual 3D flying . Today i pretty much was just sport flying with some fairly tame rates

[Hemidoo]

Showed up today , Gave me a nice little evening project . Looks really sweet , everything fit together great .

Lost my FW P38 due too the very same thing. Cold solder on a motor lead. Tried to get motion to take care of it but martin said its something we as pilots should check. Thats a pretty deep inspection on a FW P38. It happens. With anything assembled by people, sometimes you get the guy who doesnt know his job.

[Aros]

Oh that's correct since HH is the primary dealer for FMS product. They should be able to assist you.

[Rcfiddy1]

Wow that is terrible! So sorry to see that. Did you get it from us? If so, give our Support team a call first thing tomorrow.

Thanks but your support said anything over $50 I need to contact horizon hobby. So basically means if I buy anything over $50 I should buy it from horizon? I did not know this.

Good idea

[Rcfiddy1]

Now I’ll check my p38 to be safe.

[rifleman_btx]

I'm gonna have to do the same for my 38, as the motor flew without the plane with no external influence. I'm sure between myself and motion we can get this straighten out. So with that I'm not mad but alittle disappointed in the factory gluing of the firewall on my plane. I'm sure it was a one off incident, as normally flightline is a first rate product.

[Rcfiddy1]

Yes I buy all my planes from you guys. Will do.

Got my Votec but it didn’t last 3 flights. I’m am pissed. Turns out the esc ec5 connector had a bad factory soldier job and she failed mid flight. I mean really? There is no tin on the connector. Total loss. It’s a shame because it was flying great. QC missed this one big time. I am usually a FMS fan and this plane looked really nice but this is just uncalled for. Not only am I out the plane but brand new 6 cell 4000 pack, an a new s6r receiver.

FMS is rumored to have an even bigger, 2000mm 3D/aerobat coming soon! ;)

[rifleman_btx]

Does the clock work? And does it take glock mags?LOL:Silly::)
