FMSRQ104

Overview

The FMS A10 Warthog V2 Horizontal Stabilizer (FMSRQ104) is an essential replacement and upgrade part for RC aircraft enthusiasts building or maintaining their FMS A-10 Thunderbolt V2 70mm EDF jet models. This precision-engineered horizontal stabilizer is designed to deliver stable, predictable flight characteristics and is perfect for both experienced RC pilots and those new to electric RC aeroplanes who want to ensure their aircraft performs at its best. Whether you're repairing a damaged stabilizer, upgrading your existing model, or building a complete new A-10 from scratch, this OEM FMS component ensures authentic compatibility and reliable performance that you can trust.

FMS Hobby is recognised worldwide for producing high-quality, scale-accurate RC aircraft that appeal to aviation enthusiasts and serious RC modellers across the UK and beyond. The A-10 Thunderbolt II, affectionately known as the Warthog, is one of the most iconic military aircraft ever built, and FMS has captured its distinctive profile beautifully in this 70mm electric jet model. The horizontal stabilizer is a critical aerodynamic component that controls pitch stability and is essential for maintaining level flight, especially during aggressive manoeuvres. With this genuine FMS stabilizer, you'll ensure your aircraft has the correct aerodynamic balance and flight characteristics that FMS engineers designed the A-10 V2 to achieve.

For RC pilots in the UK looking for high-quality replacement parts, upgrade components, or spares for their FMS aircraft, the A10 Warthog V2 Horizontal Stabilizer represents genuine OEM quality at an accessible price point. This is not a generic third-party part; it's the exact component specified by FMS for this specific aircraft model, manufactured to their exacting standards to ensure proper fit, finish, and aerodynamic performance every time you fly.

Key Features

• 70mm Scale Horizontal Stabilizer — This component is specifically engineered for the FMS A-10 Thunderbolt V2 70mm EDF jet model, ensuring perfect fitment and aerodynamic balance for authentic flight behaviour and reliable pitch control during all phases of flight.
• Genuine FMS OEM Component — As an official FMS Hobby manufactured part, this stabilizer meets the exact specifications and quality standards that FMS engineers designed the A-10 V2 to achieve, giving you confidence in compatibility and performance.
• Critical Flight Control Surface — The horizontal stabilizer is essential for maintaining pitch stability and controlling the aircraft's nose attitude, making this a vital component for safe, predictable, and enjoyable flight performance.
• Reliable Replacement Part — Whether you've damaged your original stabilizer in a hard landing, or you're upgrading an older A-10 airframe, this part allows you to restore your aircraft to full specification and performance capability.
• Easy Installation — Designed as a drop-in replacement for FMS A-10 V2 models, this stabilizer integrates seamlessly with your existing airframe, requiring no modification or specialist tools for fitting.
• Scale Accuracy — FMS designs every component, including this stabilizer, with meticulous attention to the real A-10 Thunderbolt II's proportions and profile, helping you achieve an authentic, detailed scale model that looks and flies like the real aircraft.

Technical Performance

The FMS A10 Warthog V2 Horizontal Stabilizer is engineered with the precision and attention to detail that distinguishes FMS Hobby as a leading manufacturer of scale electric RC aircraft. This component is specifically sized and shaped for the 70mm EDF (Electric Ducted Fan) A-10 V2 airframe, providing the exact aerodynamic surface area and moment arm required for balanced pitch control and stable flight. The stabilizer works in concert with the elevator control surface to manage the aircraft's pitch attitude, and correct stabilizer geometry is absolutely critical for preventing pitch instability, Dutch roll tendencies, or over-sensitive control response. FMS engineers have optimised this component through flight testing and computational aerodynamic analysis to ensure the A-10 V2 achieves authentic handling characteristics that reflect the real aircraft's stable, predictable flight envelope. The materials and construction methods used by FMS ensure durability whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for electric RC aircraft performance. This is a precision aerospace component manufactured to exacting tolerances, not a generic part, and that engineering quality directly translates to better flight performance, more predictable handling, and greater enjoyment of your A-10 flying experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the FMS A10 Warthog V2 Horizontal Stabilizer a genuine OEM part? — Yes, this is a genuine FMS Hobby manufactured component, designed and engineered specifically for the A-10 Thunderbolt V2 70mm EDF model. It meets FMS's exact specifications for fit, finish, and aerodynamic performance, ensuring compatibility with your A-10 V2 airframe.
• Will this stabilizer fit my A-10 aircraft? — This horizontal stabilizer is designed specifically for the FMS A-10 Thunderbolt V2 70mm EDF model (FMSRQ104). Before ordering, verify that you own the A-10 V2 model, as it will not fit earlier A-10 variants or other aircraft types.
• Why would I need a replacement horizontal stabilizer? — The horizontal stabilizer can be damaged through hard landings, crash damage, or general wear and tear from regular flying. This is a critical flight control surface, and a damaged stabilizer will cause pitch instability, poor handling, or difficulty controlling the aircraft. Replacing it restores your aircraft to full performance capability.
• Is this part difficult to install? — The stabilizer is designed as a straightforward replacement component that integrates directly with your A-10 V2 airframe. FMS provides comprehensive manuals and support materials to guide you through fitting, and the installation typically requires only basic tools and a small amount of hobby glue or adhesive suitable for the airframe materials.
• What is the role of the horizontal stabilizer in flight? — The horizontal stabilizer is the fixed aerodynamic surface that provides pitch stability, working together with the elevator control surface to manage the aircraft's nose attitude and maintain level flight. A correctly balanced and properly functioning stabilizer is essential for stable, predictable handling and safe, enjoyable flying.
• Is this suitable for beginner RC pilots? — This is a replacement/upgrade component for existing A-10 V2 owners rather than a complete aircraft. If you already own an FMS A-10 V2 and are experiencing flight issues or have damaged the stabilizer, this part will help restore performance. Beginners new to RC aircraft should start with a complete RTR (Ready to Run) kit that includes everything needed to fly.
