Technical Performance

The FMS Pitts V2 1.4M Cowl is engineered as a precision component designed to work seamlessly with the 1400mm FMS Pitts V2 airframe. As a cowl assembly, it provides the forward fuselage covering that houses the motor, battery, and control system whilst presenting the aircraft's distinctive nose profile to the airflow. The V2 designation indicates this is an upgraded version of the original Pitts design, incorporating aerodynamic refinements developed through FMS Hobby's extensive experience in foam RC aircraft manufacturing. The 1.4-metre wingspan positions this model in the intermediate size category for RC aircraft, making it portable enough for transport to flying sites whilst offering sufficient scale and presence for realistic flight behaviour. The cowl's engineering ensures proper air intake for motor cooling and maintains the aircraft's centre of gravity when properly installed. Quality materials ensure the cowl resists UV degradation from outdoor flying and maintains its finish through regular use across UK flying conditions. This component represents genuine OEM (original equipment manufacturer) quality, as it comes directly from FMS Hobby rather than aftermarket sources, guaranteeing compatibility and durability that matches the original specifications of your aircraft.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this cowl compatible with all FMS Pitts models? — This cowl is specifically designed for the FMS Pitts V2 1400mm (1.4-metre) model. FMS has produced several variants and scales of the Pitts aircraft, so it is essential to verify you own a Pitts V2 1.4M before purchasing this component. If you operate a different Pitts variant or scale, you will need the cowl engineered specifically for your model.
• Can I install this cowl myself? — The cowl is a replacement component designed for direct fitment to the Pitts V2 1.4M airframe. Most experienced RC aircraft builders and flyers can perform this installation, though specific assembly instructions and any adhesive requirements would be detailed in the FMS manual for your aircraft model. If you are new to RC aircraft assembly, consulting with experienced RC flyers at your local UK flying club is recommended.
• What should I do if my cowl is damaged? — This replacement cowl allows you to restore your aircraft to full appearance and functionality if the original cowl has sustained damage from crashes, wear, or UV exposure. Rather than expensive repairs, simply replacing the cowl with this OEM component returns your Pitts V2 to pristine condition at a fraction of full aircraft replacement cost.
• Why choose the V2 cowl over earlier versions? — The V2 designation indicates this is an upgraded design that incorporates refinements and improvements over the original Pitts cowl variant. These improvements may include enhanced aerodynamic shaping, better motor cooling integration, or refined styling. If you currently own an earlier Pitts variant, upgrading to this V2 cowl allows you to benefit from FMS Hobby's latest design developments whilst using your existing airframe and components.
• Is this an original FMS part or an aftermarket component? — This is an official FMS Hobby original equipment component, manufactured directly by FMS. The product code FMSRY108 confirms this is genuine OEM inventory, ensuring quality, fitment, and performance that matches the original specifications your aircraft was designed to. Aftermarket alternatives cannot guarantee the same precision fit and quality assurance that comes with official FMS parts.
• What is the best way to protect my cowl from damage? — As with all RC aircraft components, protective storage when not flying helps preserve the cowl's finish and structural integrity. UV exposure can cause fading and material brittleness, so storing your Pitts V2 indoors or under cover between flying sessions extends component lifespan. Foam RC aircraft, including the Pitts platform, require careful handling during transport and landing to minimise impact damage.
