4. Enstriksyon Asanble
The Fms 1220mm Ranger is designed for quick and easy assembly, allowing you to get airborne faster. Follow these steps for a successful setup:
- Enstalasyon zèl: Attach the two-piece main wing to the fuselage. The innovative quick-release assembly structure ensures a secure fit. Ensure the wing coupling system is properly engaged for structural integrity.
- Enstalasyon estabilizasyon orizontal: Secure the one-piece horizontal stabilizer. This component is crucial for precise pitch movements.
- Vertical Stabilizer Installation: Install the vertical stabilizer. Remember that a T6 Torx screwdriver is required for its connecting rod.
- Landing Gear Attachment: Attach the landing gear. The front landing gear features a spring shock absorption structure to reduce impact during takeoff and landing.
- Connect Electronics: Connect the pre-installed ESC, motor, and servos to your chosen receiver. Refer to your receiver's manual for specific wiring diagrams.
- Enstalasyon batri: Secure your flight battery in the designated compartment. Ensure proper balance (Center of Gravity) as per the detailed manual that comes with the product.
The two-piece wing and fuselage design not only simplifies installation but also significantly reduces storage space, making transport more convenient.

5. Operasyon Enstriksyon
5.1 Flight Modes (Reflex V3 System)
The Reflex V3 flight controller offers three distinct flight modes to cater to pilots of all skill levels:
- Beginner Mode (Self-Stabilizing): Provides 70% assistance, acting as a reliable co-pilot. This mode significantly reduces the learning curve and helps maintain stable flight.
- Advanced Mode (Enhanced Stabilization): Offers 40% assistance, allowing for more agile maneuvers while still providing support. Ideal for pilots progressing their skills.
- Off Mode (Manual Control): The gyro is turned off, allowing pilots complete manual control. This mode is for experienced pilots who wish to fly without any electronic assistance.
Switch between modes using your transmitter. Refer to the Reflex V3 manual for detailed setup and calibration.

5.2 Dekolaj
The Fms Ranger is capable of short takeoffs, requiring as little as 3 meters of runway. This feature allows for flight opportunities in various locations.
- Place the aircraft on a flat, clear surface.
- Gradually increase throttle while maintaining directional control with the rudder.
- Once sufficient speed is gained, gently apply up elevator to lift off.

5.3 Aterisaj
The robust landing gear with spring shock absorption helps ensure safe and stable landings.
- Approach the landing area at a controlled speed and altitude.
- Reduce throttle and gradually descend.
- Flare gently just before touchdown to absorb impact with the landing gear.
