Designed by the French company Dassault, the Rafale is a highly maneuverable Delta Jet.
Thanks to its unique flight characteristics in close combat and air-to-ground combat, the Rafale has achieved worldwide success.

Like the original
Like its true-to-scale counterpart, the FMS 80mm Rafale features a realistic color design, numerous scale details and fully functional canards, making the aircraft truly unique compared to other 80mm EDF aircraft on the market today.

Designed to replicate both the look and performance of the real aircraft, FMS has applied its decades of experience to the construction of the 80mm Rafale. Details such as the pilot figure, cockpit equipment, fairings, removable armament, extra tanks, refueling probe, target detection sensor, etc. and dynamic features such as functional LED navigation and landing lights, a shock-absorbing electric retractable landing gear, functional canards and flaps make this model a real eye-catcher.

Enormously high degree of prefabrication
Like all other FMS aircraft, the 80mm Rafale was developed with the aim of reducing the construction time to a minimum. Thanks to the use of screws, latches and quick connectors, experienced model pilots can complete the construction process in just 5 minutes.

Readily installed electronics
The complete electronics are already built into the model. The 80mm 12-blade impeller is driven by a 3280 internal rotor and a 100A high performance regulator. 7 digital servis with metal gears execute the control commands quickly and reliably. Functions such as delta mixing, sequential landing gear doors, alternating flash navigation lights, nose gear lights, slowed down doors, etc. are all controlled from a central control board.

Including FMS Reflex Stabilization System
This model comes with a FMS Reflex System specially programmed for this aircraft. This electronic stabilization system is designed to assist the pilot with control commands but not to interfere with them. The Reflex system works with both PPM and SBUS inputs and works natively with all common remote control systems.

If the Reflex-System is assigned to a 3-channel switch, you can choose between 3 different modes:

• Stabilized mode: When the control stick is released, the model is automatically brought into a neutral flight position, which offers a lot of safety in tricky situations, especially for beginners and untrained pilots.
• Optimized Mode: The gyro system of the Reflex System counteracts external influences such as gusts of wind or crosswind and keeps the model precisely in a stable position.
• Off: The Reflex System can be completely switched off.

The FMS Reflex System is specially adjusted for this model aircraft. No further programming is required. The FMS Reflex System can be bound with all receivers with at least 4 channels.

FMS was founded in 2007 in Shenzen and offers beautiful scale foam warbird models. All models are Ready to Fly (requiring only a transmitter, receiver, and battery). They are already finished, sometimes with electric landing gear, and high performance servos, brushless motors, and brushless ESCs. They also offer gliders (sailplanes) and Jets.
