Overview
The FMS 80MM FUTURA PURPLE MAIN WING SET FMSPW102PUR is a premium replacement wing component designed for the FMS Futura aircraft series. This high-quality spare part is essential for RC aeroplane enthusiasts and serious flyers in the UK who demand precision engineering and reliable performance. Whether you're replacing a damaged wing, upgrading your setup, or maintaining your RC aircraft collection, this main wing set represents FMS's commitment to delivering authentic, properly engineered components that keep your RC plane in peak flying condition.
FMS (Famous Model Spares) has built a reputation across the RC hobby community for producing aircraft components that combine durability with authentic design. The Futura series, which this wing set is designed for, is recognised for its stable flight characteristics and forgiving handling, making it an excellent choice for RC pilots ranging from enthusiastic beginners to experienced weekend flyers. The distinctive purple colour scheme sets your aircraft apart on the airfield whilst maintaining the structural integrity and aerodynamic properties you need for consistent, predictable flight performance.
For RC aeroplane UK hobbyists, this main wing set offers genuine value. Rather than purchasing an entirely new aircraft, having quality spare wings on hand means you can continue flying whilst waiting for repairs, or quickly swap components to test different setups. This is particularly valuable for pilots who fly regularly and want to maximise their time in the air without extended downtime. The FMS Futura platform is well-established in the UK RC community, ensuring availability of spares and ongoing support from retailers and the flying community.
Key Features
- Genuine FMS Manufacturing — This is an authentic component manufactured by Famous Model Spares, ensuring you receive a part designed specifically for the FMS Futura airframe with proper fit, balance, and aerodynamic characteristics that maintain the aircraft's original performance envelope.
- 80MM Wingspan Dimension — The 80MM specification refers to the critical wing dimension, which is matched precisely to the Futura fuselage to ensure correct centre of gravity, handling characteristics, and overall flight stability across different flying conditions.
- Complete Main Wing Set — This is a full main wing set rather than individual components, meaning you receive all the necessary wing surfaces ready for installation, reducing assembly time and ensuring matched aerodynamic properties across both wing panels.
- Purple Colour Scheme — Beyond aesthetics, the purple finish helps with visibility during flight, making it easier to track your aircraft's orientation and position in the sky, which is particularly valuable during high-altitude flying or when aircraft are distant from the pilot.
- Direct Replacement Part — Engineered as a direct replacement for the original FMS Futura wing set, this component requires no modification or adjustment to fit, simply removing the damaged wing and installing the new set with confidence that alignment and balance will be maintained.
- Quality Construction — FMS components are recognised for robust build quality using appropriate materials selected for the demands of RC flight, providing durability through multiple flight seasons with proper care and maintenance.
Technical Performance
The FMS 80MM FUTURA PURPLE MAIN WING SET represents precision engineering designed specifically for the FMS Futura aircraft platform. The 80MM dimension is a critical specification that determines wing loading, aerodynamic efficiency, and how the wing interacts with the fuselage and tail surfaces. This measurement ensures proper centre of gravity positioning, which is fundamental to safe, predictable flight characteristics. The wing set is constructed to exacting tolerances to maintain alignment, dihedral angle, and structural rigidity during flight, particularly important when pulling out of dives or executing manoeuvres. FMS designs their components for consistency and reliability, meaning each wing set performs identically to the original equipment, allowing pilots to maintain confidence in their aircraft's behaviour whether executing gentle slope soaring, thermal climbing, or energetic aerobatic manoeuvres. The purple colour finish is applied using quality methods that don't compromise structural integrity, and the overall design balances weight against strength to maximise performance whilst maintaining durability through regular flying sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this a complete wing replacement or do I need additional parts? — This is a complete main wing set for the FMS Futura, containing all the wing surfaces you need for installation. You should check your specific aircraft variant to confirm compatibility, but this set includes everything necessary for the main wing assembly.
- Will this wing set fit my FMS Futura aircraft? — Yes, this is a genuine FMS component designed specifically as a direct replacement for the FMS Futura airframe. The 80MM specification matches the fuselage design, ensuring correct fit, balance, and aerodynamic performance without modification or adjustment required.
- What should I do if I'm replacing a damaged wing? — Simply remove the damaged wing set from your Futura fuselage following the manufacturer's instructions, then install this new wing set using the original attachment points. The wing should align correctly without forcing, and you should verify balance by checking the aircraft's centre of gravity before flying.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — The FMS Futura platform itself is known for forgiving flight characteristics, making it accessible to pilots developing their skills. This wing set maintains those characteristics, so whether you're a beginner who has damaged a wing through a landing mishap or an experienced pilot building a second aircraft, this component provides reliable performance.
- How does the purple colour affect performance? — The colour is purely aesthetic and finish-related; it does not affect aerodynamic performance or structural properties. The main benefit of the purple scheme is improved visibility in the sky, helping you track your aircraft's orientation and position during flight, which is a practical advantage rather than a performance one.
- What's the difference between this and a budget wing set? — This is a genuine FMS component engineered specifically for the Futura platform, ensuring precision fit, consistent aerodynamic properties, and durability. Budget alternatives may offer cost savings but often lack the precision engineering and quality assurance that genuine FMS parts provide, potentially affecting flight characteristics and longevity.
