The FMS 80mm Rafale is a high-performance Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) remote control jet, designed for adult hobbyists. It features a 12-blade 80mm EDF unit, a Platinum Series 3280 inrunner motor, and a 100A ESC, providing powerful propulsion for various maneuvers. The model incorporates detailed scale features and a central control board for managing functions like tri-mix, sequential gear doors, navigation lights, and speed brakes.
Pautas de seguridade
Operating remote control aircraft requires caution. Adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Always operate in open areas, away from people, buildings, and obstacles.
- Asegúrate de que a batería estea completamente cargada e instalada correctamente antes de cada voo.
- Perform pre-flight checks on all control surfaces and linkages.
- Non o opere con ventos fortes ou condicións meteorolóxicas adversas.
- Keep hands and loose clothing away from the rotating fan unit.
- Familiarize yourself with local regulations regarding RC aircraft operation.
Configuración e montaxe
The FMS 80mm Rafale is designed for quick assembly, typically completed within 5 minutes using screws, locks, and quick connectors. This model is a Plug and Play (PNP) version, meaning it comes with the ESC, motor, and servos pre-installed.

Instrucións de funcionamento
Comprobacións previas ao voo
- Verifique que todas as superficies de control (aleróns, elevador, temón) se movan libremente e na dirección correcta en relación coas entradas do transmisor.
- Comprobar vol. bateríatage and ensure it is fully charged.
- Confirm the propeller/fan is securely attached and free of damage.
- Ensure the landing gear extends and retracts properly.
- Check the Center of Gravity (CG) according to the specifications.
Despegue
Place the aircraft on a smooth, flat surface. Gradually increase throttle while maintaining a straight path. Once sufficient speed is gained, gently apply up elevator to lift off. The powerful propulsion system allows for efficient takeoffs.

Voo
The Rafale is capable of a wide range of aerobatic maneuvers. Utilize the central function controller for tri-mix, sequential gear doors, alternate flashing navigation lights, nose gear landing light, and speed brakes to enhance your flight experience. Practice at a safe altitude before attempting complex maneuvers.
Aterraxe
Approach the landing strip into the wind. Reduce throttle gradually and deploy landing gear. Maintain a controlled descent, using elevator and rudder for precise alignment. Gently flare just above the runway and reduce throttle completely for a smooth touchdown.
Mantemento
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your FMS 80mm Rafale.
- Inspección posterior ao voo: After each flight, inspect the airframe for any damage, cracks, or loose components. Check all control linkages and servo connections.
- Motor e ESC: Ensure the motor and Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) are free from debris and overheating. Allow components to cool down after use.
- Coidado da batería: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not overcharge or over-discharge LiPo batteries. Follow manufacturer guidelines for battery charging and storage.
- Limpeza: Limpar o avión cun pano suaveamp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the paint or foam material.
Resolución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| O avión non responde aos controis. | Unbound receiver, low transmitter/receiver battery, damaged wiring. | Re-bind receiver, charge batteries, inspect and repair wiring. |
| O motor non xira. | Disconnected motor wires, faulty ESC, low battery. | Check motor connections, replace ESC if faulty, charge battery. |
