Overview
The FMS MAULE LED Set is a premium night flight illumination system designed specifically for the 1500mm FMS Maule aircraft. Whether you're an experienced RC plane enthusiast looking to extend your flying sessions into the evening or a dedicated RC hobbyist seeking to maximise your time in the air, this LED lighting solution transforms your Maule into a fully equipped night-flying machine. The set provides essential visibility for both the aircraft and the pilot, enabling safe and enjoyable flights when daylight is limited.
Night flying represents an exciting frontier for RC aircraft enthusiasts across the UK and beyond. Traditional daytime flying is wonderful, but dedicated hobbyists often want to make the most of their time. This LED set removes the constraints of daylight, allowing you to enjoy your 1500mm Maule in low-light conditions with proper illumination. The system is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Maule airframe, ensuring balanced flight characteristics and reliable performance throughout your flight session.
As an accessory from FMS Hobby, a recognised manufacturer of quality RC aircraft and components, the MAULE LED Set represents a genuine investment in extending the versatility of your model. Whether you fly casually for leisure or participate in organised RC flying clubs across the UK, this lighting set opens up new possibilities for your flying schedule and helps you get maximum enjoyment from your RC plane investment.

Technical Performance
The FMS MAULE LED Set represents a practical solution for RC aircraft enthusiasts wanting to add night-flying capability to their models. LED technology has revolutionised RC lighting, offering superior efficiency, reliability and longevity compared to older incandescent alternatives. The set is engineered to operate within the power parameters of the 1500mm Maule airframe, ensuring that the addition of lighting does not significantly impact flight duration or aircraft balance. Modern LED systems consume considerably less power than traditional lighting, meaning your flight battery will sustain the aircraft and lighting system throughout your flying session. The components are designed to integrate with the airframe in a manner that maintains the aircraft's aerodynamic characteristics and centre of gravity, both critical factors for safe and enjoyable RC flight. Whether you're flying from an RC flying field in the UK or at a dedicated airfield, the reliability of LED illumination ensures consistent visibility session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FMS MAULE LED Set suitable for beginners? — Whilst the LED set itself is straightforward to install, night flying with any RC aircraft requires piloting experience and familiarity with your model. If you're new to flying the FMS Maule, we recommend mastering daytime flight first before adding the complexity of night operations. Once you're confident with the aircraft, the LED set is an accessible upgrade.
- Will adding the LED set affect my Maule's flight performance? — The LED set is designed to integrate with minimal impact on the aircraft's balance and weight distribution. However, any addition to an aircraft will have some effect on flight characteristics. Modern LED systems are extremely lightweight, and FMS has engineered this set specifically for the 1500mm Maule to keep this impact minimal.
- What battery capacity do I need to power the LEDs? — The source material does not specify the battery requirements for operating the LED set. We recommend contacting our team at RC Model Shop or consulting the official FMS documentation and manual for your Maule to determine the appropriate power source and runtime expectations with the lights enabled.
- Is installation complex? — The MAULE LED Set is designed as a ready-to-fit accessory for the 1500mm FMS Maule aircraft. The system includes all necessary mounting hardware. For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the product manual, which provides step-by-step guidance. If you have specific questions about installation, our experienced team at RC Model Shop is available to help.
- Does FMS offer warranty support for the LED set? — Yes, FMS provides a 90-day warranty on electronic accessories including this LED set, measured from the date of delivery. During this warranty period, you're also entitled to long-term technical support from FMS's official technicians, ensuring you get the most from your lighting system.
- What return options are available if I'm not satisfied? — FMS offers a comprehensive 30-day return policy for new and unused products purchased directly. This covers items that are defective, dead on arrival (DOA), or arrive with shipping damage, loss, or missing parts. If you have any concerns after purchase, FMS's return process provides peace of mind.
