Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes this screw set better than using generic fasteners from a hardware shop? — This is a dedicated, OEM-specification screw set designed precisely for the 980mm P-39 Aircobra airframe. Generic fasteners may not provide the correct fit, threading, or material properties, and could lead to loose components, vibration, and unsafe flight conditions. FMS Hobby's engineering ensures compatibility, reliability, and longevity that generic hardware simply cannot match.
- Will this screw set work with my P-39 Aircobra RC aeroplane? — Yes, this set is specifically engineered for the 980mm P-39 Aircobra platform. The SKU (ROC-KG117) and manufacturer designation confirm compatibility with FMS Hobby's P-39 models of this scale. Always verify your specific model number against the product specifications to ensure proper fit.
- How often will I need replacement screws? — The frequency depends on your flying habits and maintenance practices. However, having a dedicated spare screw set is essential for any serious RC aircraft pilot. Screws can be lost during assembly, stripped during maintenance, or damaged during crashes and hard landings. Keeping this set on hand ensures you're never grounded due to missing fasteners and can perform repairs quickly at the flying field.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. Whether you're building your first RC aeroplane or you're an experienced pilot, having the correct fasteners is essential. Beginners especially benefit from using OEM-specification hardware, as it eliminates guesswork about compatibility and helps ensure a successful, safe first build and flight experience.
- How should I store these screws? — Keep the screw set in a cool, dry location, ideally in the original packaging to prevent corrosion and maintain organisation. Many RC enthusiasts keep their spare parts in a dedicated parts box or toolbox alongside other essential RC aeroplane maintenance items.
- Why is my P-39 Aircobra coming loose during flight? — Vibration from the motor, aerodynamic forces, and the stresses of acceleration and manoeuvres can cause fasteners to loosen over time. Regularly inspect all fasteners before flight, use thread-locking compound (such as threadlocker fluid) on critical fasteners, and consider this screw set as your replacement solution when fasteners become damaged or loose.
