Technical Performance
The 70MM F-16C Screw Set represents precision fastening engineering designed for high-performance electric jet-powered RC aircraft. These screws are engineered to work specifically with FMS's 70MM ducted fan system, which powers some of the most advanced scale RC jets available to enthusiasts in the UK and internationally. The screw set is manufactured from materials selected to resist corrosion and maintain thread integrity through repeated assembly and disassembly cycles, essential for aircraft that may be flown regularly or transported frequently. FMS's engineering approach ensures that fasteners match the performance envelope of the aircraft itself, supporting the structural demands of high-speed, aerobatic flight operations. The precision manufacturing process guarantees proper fit with the airframe's threaded inserts and access points, eliminating the frustration of oversized, undersized, or poorly manufactured generic fasteners. For RC aircraft operators who understand that every component contributes to flight safety and performance, genuine OEM screws from FMS provide the peace of mind that comes from using parts engineered by the aircraft's designers.
