FMS Futura V3 80mm EDF ARTF - Red

The FMS Futura V3 80mm EDF ARTF in Red is a licensed sport jet developed with Tomahawk Aviation and engineered by a Sino–German team. This latest version builds on the proven Futura platform to showcase what a modern foam EDF jet can be: robust, precise and confidence-inspiring, finished in a recognisable red‑grey scheme. This Futura V3 (part number FMS112PV3-REFV2) combines refined aerodynamics with practical detailing for pilots who value performance and convenience.

Retaining hallmark elements from earlier versions, the V3 keeps the CNC all‑metal trailing‑link landing gear for rough‑field capability, a robust airframe with high‑strength wing spars, oversized electronics bay and improved plug‑type connectors. It also carries forward the 13g all‑metal digital servos introduced on V2 for crisp, repeatable control authority. New for V3 are alternately flashing navigation lights on the wings and taxi lights beneath the fuselage, enhancing orientation and realism.

Power comes from an 80mm 12‑bladed fan driven by a 3665‑KV2000 motor and managed by an industry‑leading Hobbywing 100A ESC, delivering smooth throttle response and strong thrust. Practical touches include large tyres for grass operations, a buckle‑latch canopy to prevent in‑flight release, glue‑less assembly with only ten screws, and an environmentally friendly water‑based paint finish. The oversized electronics bay eases maintenance and accommodates large‑capacity packs, including the recommended 22.2V 4000mAh 35C battery.
