Overview
The FMS 800MM P51 V2 Linkage Rods are essential replacement and upgrade components designed specifically for the FMS P-51D Mustang 800mm RC aeroplane. These precision-engineered linkage rods play a critical role in the control surface actuation system of your scale RC model aircraft, ensuring smooth and responsive flight control inputs. Whether you're maintaining your existing P-51D or building a new one from scratch, these linkage rods are a vital part of achieving reliable and accurate aeroplane performance. For RC plane enthusiasts across the UK looking to maintain their FMS aircraft or repair damaged components, these OEM linkage rods represent the authentic choice for guaranteed compatibility and quality.
Linkage rods are fundamental to any RC aeroplane's control system, connecting the servo actuators to the control surfaces such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders. The precision and condition of these components directly impact flight response, stability, and handling characteristics. FMS has engineered these 800mm linkage rods to exact specifications that match the P-51D airframe perfectly, ensuring that your aeroplane responds precisely to every input from your transmitter. By using genuine FMS components, you eliminate compatibility concerns and potential fitment issues that can arise from using non-OEM alternatives. This is particularly important for anyone serious about maintaining their ready-to-fly RC aeroplane in peak condition.
Priced competitively at just £6.99, these linkage rods represent excellent value for money and are an affordable way to keep your FMS P-51D performing at its best. Whether you're a weekend flyer enjoying casual aerial adventures or a dedicated RC aeroplane collector maintaining a pristine scale model, these linkage rods are an essential addition to your spare parts collection. Stock these components alongside your other P-51D spares to ensure you're always prepared for maintenance or repairs.

Technical Performance
The FMS 800MM P51 V2 Linkage Rods are precision mechanical components manufactured from durable materials suitable for sustained RC aeroplane operation. These rods form part of the control linkage system that translates servo motor movement into physical control surface deflection on the P-51D airframe. The 800mm designation refers to the overall span of the P-51D Mustang model for which these components are specifically engineered. As with all linkage rod systems in RC aircraft, the precision of these components is critical to flight safety and performance; any wear, bending, or damage to linkage rods can result in sluggish control response, control lag, or in severe cases, unpredictable flight behaviour. FMS has designed these rods to withstand the operational stresses of regular RC aeroplane flying whilst maintaining the tight tolerances necessary for accurate servo-to-control-surface actuation. For UK-based RC plane enthusiasts, maintaining a stock of genuine FMS linkage rods ensures you can quickly restore your aircraft to full operational capability should any component require replacement. The engineering quality reflects FMS Hobby's reputation in the RC aeroplane market for producing scale models that combine authentic appearance with genuine flying capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these linkage rods compatible with the FMS P-51D 800mm aeroplane? — Yes, these FMS 800MM P51 V2 Linkage Rods are manufactured specifically for the P-51D 800mm model. FMS OEM components guarantee perfect fitment and compatibility with your aircraft.
- When should I replace the linkage rods on my RC aeroplane? — You should replace linkage rods if you notice any visible bending, cracking, or wear; if control surfaces become sluggish or unresponsive; or if you've had a hard landing or crash that may have damaged the control system. Regular inspection of linkage rods is part of responsible RC aeroplane maintenance.
- What is the difference between OEM linkage rods and aftermarket alternatives? — FMS OEM linkage rods are engineered to exact specifications matching your P-51D airframe, guaranteeing precise fitment and performance. Aftermarket or generic alternatives may require modification and can lead to inconsistent control response or fitment issues.
- Do I need any special tools to install these linkage rods? — Installation of linkage rods typically requires basic RC aeroplane maintenance tools such as small pliers, screwdrivers, and possibly a small spanner, depending on how your control linkage is configured. Refer to your P-51D manual for specific installation instructions.
- How many linkage rods does a P-51D require? — The number of linkage rods in your P-51D depends on the number of control surfaces and servos in your setup. Most scale RC aeroplanes require multiple linkage rods, so you may wish to stock several sets as spares.
