Technical Performance
The FMS ASW-17 Fuselage Wheel Set is engineered with precision to match the exacting standards required for RC aircraft operations. This component has been developed through FMS's extensive experience manufacturing high-quality RC aeroplanes and supporting components. The wheel set is designed to provide optimal ground contact and stability characteristics for the ASW-17 airframe, which is critical during the ground phases of flight when the aircraft is most vulnerable to tipping or uneven loading. The wheels work in harmony with the fuselage geometry to distribute loading evenly and maintain proper pitch attitude during takeoff and landing. The materials and construction methods employed reflect FMS's engineering expertise in creating components that balance durability with weight efficiency—both critical considerations in RC aircraft design where excess weight directly impacts flight performance and battery runtime. For UK RC plane enthusiasts operating their aircraft from grass strips, tarmac or prepared fields, this wheel set provides the ground handling characteristics needed for safe and consistent operations.
