Frequently Asked Questions

• What aircraft is the FMS Kingfisher Float Set designed for? — This float set is specifically designed for the FMS 1400mm Kingfisher aircraft. It will not be compatible with other aircraft models, so it is essential to confirm you own the correct Kingfisher model before purchasing.
• Can I land my Kingfisher on water with these floats? — Yes, that is the primary purpose of this float set. The floats provide the buoyancy and stability needed for safe landings and takeoffs from water surfaces including lakes, rivers and reservoirs, significantly expanding the environments where you can operate your aircraft.
• What is included with the float set? — The package includes the complete float set designed for the 1400mm Kingfisher. It is ready to install on your aircraft, though you should consult the assembly manual for detailed installation instructions to ensure proper fitting and weight balance.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — Whilst the float set itself is straightforward to install, water-based RC aeroplane operations require additional flying skills and experience. Pilots should be confident with conventional takeoffs and landings before attempting water operations, making this better suited to intermediate and experienced RC aviators.
• How do floats affect flight performance? — The floats add weight and alter the aerodynamic profile of the Kingfisher. FMS has engineered these floats to minimise performance impact, but pilots should expect slightly reduced climb performance and may need to adjust control inputs slightly compared to flying the aircraft without floats.
• What is the warranty on the float set? — FMS provides a 30-day return policy for new and unused products purchased directly, covering items that are defective or have shipping damage. Additionally, electronic accessories included may carry a 90-day warranty from the date of delivery, with access to long-term official technician support.
