Key Features
- FMS Genuine Parts — These are authentic fastenings manufactured by FMS specifically for the 80mm Rafale canard assembly, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your model aircraft without the guesswork of trying generic fasteners.
- Canard-Specific Design — The fastening hardware is engineered specifically for the canard configuration of the Rafale, addressing the precise dimensional and load requirements of this critical flight surface component.
- Precision Manufacturing — FMS fastenings are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring secure connections that won't loosen during high-speed flight manoeuvres or aggressive aerial manoeuvres typical of RC jet flying.
- Reliability and Safety — Using the correct fastening hardware is essential for aircraft safety, as loose or incorrect fasteners can compromise structural integrity and lead to in-flight failures, making genuine FMS fastenings a critical safety consideration.
- Replacement and Repair — Whether you've lost fasteners, damaged them during maintenance, or simply want to keep spares available, these replacement fastenings allow you to quickly restore your Rafale to full operational readiness.
- Cost-Effective Solution — Rather than replacing entire assemblies when fasteners are damaged or lost, purchasing replacement fastenings offers an economical way to maintain your RC jet model.
Technical Performance
The FMS 80MM RAFALE CANARD FASTENINGS represent precision engineering at the component level. These fasteners are specifically designed to work with the 80mm ducted fan configuration of the FMS Rafale, a popular high-performance RC jet model beloved by enthusiasts across the UK and worldwide. The fastenings secure the canard surfaces—the small aerodynamic control surfaces at the front of the fuselage that play a crucial role in aircraft stability and manoeuvrability. Quality fastening hardware is absolutely critical in RC jet aircraft design, as these components experience significant aerodynamic loads during high-speed flight, rapid pitch and roll manoeuvres, and transitions between different flight regimes. The fasteners must be strong enough to withstand these forces whilst remaining lightweight to avoid adding unnecessary mass to your model. FMS has engineered these fastenings to meet these demanding performance requirements, using materials and designs that provide secure retention without risking structural failure. The precision fit ensures that once installed, the fasteners remain tight throughout your flying session, eliminating the need for mid-flight adjustments or emergency landing scenarios due to loose components. For serious RC jet pilots, whether competing in RC flying events or simply enjoying recreational flight at dedicated RC clubs across the United Kingdom, reliable fastening hardware is non-negotiable for safe, enjoyable flying experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these fastenings compatible with my FMS Rafale RC jet? — These fastenings are specifically engineered by FMS for the 80mm Rafale canard assembly, ensuring perfect compatibility with this model. They are designed to secure the canard surfaces on the FMS Rafale and will not fit other aircraft models.
- Why would I need replacement canard fastenings? — During normal use and maintenance of your RC jet, fasteners can become lost, damaged, bent, or stripped. Accidents and hard landings can damage fastening hardware, and keeping replacement sets on hand ensures you can quickly repair your model and get back to flying without extended downtime.
- How do I know which fasteners to order for my FMS model? — FMS provides detailed parts diagrams and identification numbers for all their models. The FMSEG111 designation specifically identifies the 80mm Rafale canard fastenings, making it easy to order exactly the right components for your model without confusion.
- Can I use generic fasteners instead of FMS fastenings? — Whilst generic fasteners might appear similar, using non-genuine components risks poor fitment, loose connections during flight, and potential structural failure. FMS fastenings are engineered to precise specifications for your Rafale model, and genuine parts are the safest choice for RC aircraft where structural integrity directly impacts flight safety.
- Is this a complete canard assembly or just fasteners? — The FMSEG111 contains replacement fastening hardware specifically for the canard assembly. If you need replacement canard surfaces or structural components, you would need to order those separately as complete canard assemblies.
- How often should I inspect my RC jet fasteners? — Best practice for RC jet enthusiasts is to perform a pre-flight inspection of all fastening hardware before each flying session, checking for signs of looseness, damage, or wear. After any crash or hard landing, immediate inspection and replacement of damaged fasteners is essential before returning to flight.
