FMS Team Pilot Michael Wargo flies the 1400mm Olympus F3A (flying F3A maneuvers)

[@llamont2336]

Thank you for sharing an informed review of the Olympus F3A. This is (by far) the most accurate and informative description of this plane that I’ve seen.

[@JDDupuy]

I was introduced to F3A by the British World Champion Terry Westrop while stationed in England. Terry flew from my home base on RAF Upwood 1983 to 1989. He built me one of his flagship designs "Loaded Dice". I bought this FMS Model last month to remind me of that time 41 years ago. Sadly Terry was killed in a motorcycle accident several years ago.

You will enjoy this plane, and I am sorry to hear about Terry...

Down loading the required aerobatics is a great idea Micheal thank you! 🙏🏼

I was flying today in 15-20kts. Saw one first hand being flown - fabulous model…get one!! I have Extreme Flight stuff but this is a fraction of the price and a very capable machine for the vast majority of pilots keen to nail tricky f3a stuff without the ££££ risk😊

I have one too, it likes a bit of speed, dont let it go slow on final. It flies great but you have to check if everything is square, mine came out of the box with a slight twist in the fuselage and it made loops offset to one side.

I love mine,can't wait for the weather to break so I can practice as well.

Did you have any issues with securing the battery tray? What about the CG issue? I have this plane but havent flown it yet as Im not happy with it so nose heavy. I built this per the instructions but worried it will land like a bullet.

[@jannovak2234]

Hi dear sir pleas Tell me what flight time with 3000 batery?? Thank

[@pyschotunatuna2128]

I don't no if you will get this I was wanted to now batter position how far up in the tray ?

[@MichaelWargo]

I had it pretty far back to be honest. Actually where the forward strap was barely on it.

[@pyschotunatuna2128]

Thanks I ordered a 330 battery from rc batties had a 4700 maybe that's why it stalled so easy

[@dylanforney780]

Is this balsa or foam?

[@andypc14]

foam

[@pyschotunatuna2128]

It will stall easy

Hello, I bought one, my Predator 42-58 550 kv motor, after 4 flights, the magnets were all crushed, so poor quality, the motor was blocked, with destruction of the controller. I am disappointed

[@MichaelWargo]

Hi, I am sorry to hear. I have never seen one with this problem, but it happens. Motors throw a magnet. Not necessarily low quality... You need to write to FMS> they are awesome about that stuff.

@@MichaelWargo Hello again, thank you for replying, but I don't know where to go, but the bill makes the price of the plane increase a lot, if I can find out from fms I'll take it
