Technical Performance
The FMS 90MM AVANTI PIPE represents modern ducted fan technology for electric-powered RC aircraft. This component is engineered as a critical part of the propulsion system for RC planes utilising electric motors and battery power. The 90mm diameter sizing is a popular standard in the RC aircraft hobby, offering an excellent balance between thrust capacity, size efficiency, and weight considerations for various RC plane designs. The pipe itself is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure smooth airflow and optimal performance when paired with compatible brushless RC motors and 2S, 3S, or higher capacity LiPo batteries commonly used in electric RC aircraft. The ducted fan design inherently provides advantages over open propeller configurations by concentrating airflow and improving thrust vectoring, which translates to better acceleration, climb performance, and overall manoeuvrability in your RC aircraft. Whether you're building a scale RC plane, a sport RC model, or a high-performance RC jet-style aircraft, the Avanti pipe's engineering ensures it will deliver consistent, reliable performance across a range of flying conditions and skill levels.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a ducted fan pipe and why would I need one for my RC aircraft? — A ducted fan pipe is a tubular component that houses and optimises the airflow from an electric motor and propeller system in RC aircraft. Unlike open propellers, ducted fans channel air more efficiently, resulting in better thrust-to-weight performance, improved climb rates, and often quieter operation. The FMS 90MM AVANTI PIPE is ideal if you're building a high-performance electric RC plane or upgrading an existing model with modern propulsion technology.
- What size brushless motor and battery do I need with this 90mm pipe? — The 90mm Avanti Pipe is designed to work with RC aircraft electric systems, typically using brushless motors and 2S, 3S, or higher capacity LiPo batteries depending on your aircraft design and performance goals. Consult the detailed build specifications for your specific RC plane kit or design to determine the exact motor KV rating and battery voltage that will work best with this component.
- Is the FMS 90MM AVANTI PIPE suitable for beginners? — This component is best suited for RC aircraft builders and pilots with intermediate to advanced experience in electric RC plane construction and flying. It requires proper integration into an RC aircraft design, appropriate motor and battery selection, and correct installation. Beginner RC enthusiasts may prefer to start with ready-to-fly (RTF) electric RC planes before investing in component-level builds using ducted fan systems.
- Can I use this pipe with any 90mm RC aircraft design? — The FMS 90MM AVANTI PIPE is engineered to the 90mm standard, which is widely recognised in the RC aircraft hobby. However, compatibility depends on your specific RC plane design, motor mount specifications, and electrical system requirements. Always verify that your chosen RC aircraft plan or kit is designed to accommodate a 90mm ducted fan pipe before purchasing.
- What makes the Avanti design different from other 90mm ducts? — The Avanti designation signifies advanced aerodynamic engineering by FMS Hobby. This design optimises airflow characteristics and thrust efficiency specifically for high-performance electric RC aircraft, delivering superior flight characteristics compared to basic duct designs.
