Overview
The FMS 70MM YAK130 LINKAGE ROD (FMSPS107) is a precision replacement part designed specifically for the FMS Yak 130 V2 RC aircraft. This linkage rod is an essential component for maintaining accurate control surface response and flight precision in your scale model aeroplane. Whether you're a seasoned RC aircraft enthusiast in the UK or someone discovering the world of RC flying for the first time, having quality replacement parts on hand is crucial for keeping your model in peak flying condition. The Yak 130 is a popular aerobatic training aircraft platform among RC flyers, and this genuine FMS part ensures your model continues to perform at its best.
Linkage rods are critical components in any RC aircraft's control system, as they connect the servo motors to the control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders. A properly functioning linkage rod ensures smooth, responsive control inputs that directly translate to precise flight characteristics. Over time, through regular use and aerobatic manoeuvres, these rods can experience wear or damage that compromises flight performance. The FMS 70MM Yak 130 V2 Linkage Rod is engineered to restore your aircraft's control precision and is the authentic replacement specified by FMS for this model variant.
This part is ideal for RC hobbyists who demand genuine, manufacturer-approved components for their models. By choosing an authentic FMS linkage rod rather than a generic alternative, you're investing in reliability and performance that matches your aircraft's original specifications. For anyone serious about maintaining their RC aircraft collection, stocking spare linkage rods is a smart approach to minimising downtime and ensuring your model is always ready for the next flight session.

Technical Performance
The FMS 70MM YAK130 LINKAGE ROD represents quality engineering designed specifically for scale RC aircraft applications. This replacement part is manufactured to maintain the precise control geometry required for the Yak 130 V2, a popular choice among UK RC aircraft enthusiasts and competitive aerobatic pilots alike. The 70mm measurement is critical for proper control surface travel, ensuring that servo inputs translate accurately to aileron, elevator, and rudder movement. By using authentic FMS parts, you maintain the aircraft's original design specifications, which is essential for both safe flight operations and the aircraft's intended flight characteristics. The linkage rod's construction is engineered to withstand the forces experienced during normal flying operations and aerobatic manoeuvres, though like all moving parts in RC systems, it will eventually require replacement with extended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a linkage rod and why does my RC aircraft need one? — A linkage rod is the mechanical connector that transfers movement from the servo motor to the control surfaces (ailerons, elevators, rudders) on your RC aircraft. It's essential because without a functioning linkage rod, your servo inputs won't reach the control surfaces, and your aircraft won't respond to your commands. The FMS 70MM YAK130 LINKAGE ROD is the specific part that performs this critical function on the Yak 130 V2.
- How do I know if my linkage rod needs replacing? — Signs that your linkage rod may need replacement include loose or sloppy control surface movement, difficulty achieving smooth control inputs, or visible bending or damage to the rod itself. If you notice your aircraft's handling has become imprecise or your control surfaces move sluggishly, a worn linkage rod could be the culprit.
- Is this part genuine and authentic? — Yes, the FMSPS107 is a genuine FMS original part manufactured by FMS to their exact specifications. This ensures proper fit and performance on your FMS Yak 130 V2 aircraft without any modification required.
- Will this part work on other Yak 130 models or other aircraft? — This linkage rod is specifically engineered for the FMS Yak 130 V2. While some parts may be interchangeable across similar aircraft platforms, it's always best to verify compatibility with your specific model before installation to ensure proper function.
- How difficult is installation? — Linkage rod replacement is a straightforward task for most RC aircraft hobbyists. You'll typically need to disconnect the rod from the servo and control surface connection points, remove the old rod, and install the new one by reversing the process. If you're unsure about the procedure, consulting the Yak 130 V2 manual or seeking guidance from experienced RC pilots is recommended.
- Should I keep spare linkage rods on hand? — Yes, many experienced RC pilots maintain spare linkage rods and other critical components in their spares box. This minimises downtime if a part fails during flying sessions, allowing you to make repairs quickly and get back in the air.
