Technical Performance
These integral wing bolts represent the kind of precision engineering detail that serious RC plane builders rely upon. The 80mm length specification is a critical measurement for RC aircraft that use standard wing mounting configurations, making these bolts suitable for many popular RC plane models in the FMS range and compatible airframes. The plastic material selection demonstrates thoughtful engineering—whilst plastic might seem less robust than metal, it is actually preferred in RC aviation for many fastening applications because it reduces unnecessary weight that would otherwise affect the aircraft's performance, flight duration and battery efficiency. The integral design ensures that the bolt functions as a complete fastening solution without requiring additional components, streamlining assembly and maintenance procedures. Whether you are performing routine maintenance on an existing aircraft, replacing worn fasteners, or building a new RC plane from a kit, having reliable replacement bolts ensures your aircraft maintains its structural integrity and performs reliably throughout its operational life. RC plane enthusiasts in the UK understand that quality replacement parts are an investment in the longevity and safety of their aircraft.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are integral wing bolts and why does my RC plane need them? — Integral wing bolts are fastening components specifically designed to securely attach RC aircraft wings to the fuselage. They are critical for maintaining structural integrity during flight and ensuring wings remain properly aligned and firmly attached, regardless of flying conditions or manoeuvres performed. Without quality wing bolts, your RC plane risks wing misalignment or separation, which compromises flight safety.
- Are these bolts compatible with my RC aircraft? — These 80mm integral wing bolts are designed for RC planes that utilise this standard bolt size for wing attachment. Check your aircraft's documentation or parts list to confirm compatibility. The FMS brand produces these specifically for their aircraft range, but many aircraft from other manufacturers also use this standard size.
- How often should I replace my RC plane wing bolts? — Wing bolts should be inspected regularly for wear, cracks or loosening. With the plastic construction of this set, inspect after every 5-10 flight sessions or whenever you notice any wing movement or play. Replacement is recommended if fasteners show signs of damage or no longer hold securely.
- Can I use these bolts on different RC plane models? — Yes, provided your RC aircraft uses 80mm integral wing bolt fastening points. Many RC plane models across different manufacturers standardise on common bolt sizes, making replacement sets like this versatile for multiple aircraft in your collection.
- What is the advantage of plastic wing bolts over metal alternatives? — Plastic construction significantly reduces weight compared to metal bolts, which is crucial in RC aviation where every gramme counts toward flight performance, battery efficiency and handling characteristics. Plastic bolts are equally strong for their application whilst providing these weight-saving benefits.
- Are these suitable for beginners? — Yes, these replacement bolts are suitable for RC plane builders of all skill levels. Wing bolt replacement is a straightforward maintenance task that even beginners can perform. Having spare bolts on hand is a practical step in maintaining your RC plane collection.
