What's in the Box
Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these wheels compatible with my FMS BAE Hawk RC aircraft? — Yes, these 80mm wheels are specifically designed as a replacement wheel set for the FMS BAE Hawk range of RC aircraft. They are engineered to fit directly onto your BAE Hawk's landing gear without requiring any modifications or additional components.
- What size are the wheels and why does that matter? — The wheels measure 80mm in diameter, which provides excellent ground clearance for RC aircraft operations. This size has been carefully selected to ensure smooth rolling characteristics during taxi operations whilst maintaining adequate clearance for landing gear geometry and preventing tip-over risks on uneven terrain.
- Can I use these wheels on other RC aircraft models? — These wheels are specifically engineered for the FMS BAE Hawk range. Whilst wheel diameter measurements are universal, the mounting interface and landing gear compatibility may differ between aircraft models, so we recommend confirming compatibility with other aircraft before attempting installation.
- How often should I replace these wheels? — Wheel replacement frequency depends on your flying habits and the surfaces you use. Regular inspection for wear, flat-spotting, or damage is recommended. If you notice reduced rolling efficiency or visible damage from hard landings, it's time to replace your wheels to maintain safe landing characteristics.
- What makes FMS wheels better than generic alternatives? — FMS designs these wheels specifically for their aircraft, optimising materials and dimensions to match the BAE Hawk's weight, landing gear geometry, and intended operating conditions. This precision engineering ensures superior compatibility, durability, and performance compared to generic one-size-fits-all alternatives.
- Are these wheels suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. These are straightforward replacement components that anyone can install with basic RC aircraft knowledge. They're essential spares for new pilots who are still developing their landing technique and may experience harder landings as they develop their skills.
