Horizontal stab with elevator pre-hinged and dual servos installed.2-Piece wing with ailerons, flaps, retracts, servos, and gear doors pre-installed.Fuselage with motor, ESC, RX and nose wheel retract pre-installed.EPO foam construction with plywood and plastic mounting points.Oversized equipment bay for larger batteries.Retractable landing gear with 10mm CNC machined trailing-link suspension.The small hardware packet was hidden under some foam sheeting in a triangle-shaped recess of the molded foam shipping container. They looked more like the size of a stabilizer. As I unpacked the parts, the next thing I noticed was that the wings looked TINY compared to my usual prop driven planes. My first impression was HMMM, I'm not too sure how that shade of Blue is going to show up on a clear Blue Bird Texas Day. Hardware was hidden under foam sheeting in the triangle-shaped recess.Top layer with all parts safely secured.Kit came double boxed with attractive graphics.Let's open the box and get this baby put together! Since this will be my first 80mm EDF, I'm pretty excited, and slightly apprehensive. This melding of improved EDF Jet performance and Spektrum AS3X stabilization should prove to be a powerful combination. While I doubt most large-scale EDF pilots would want or need SAFE, it is there should they choose to enable the function. In addition, the AR637T receiver features programmable AS3X stabilization and SAFE functionality. This new Spektrum receiver is compatible with the new Smart Batteries and Smart ESCs as well as having full-range telemetry capability. Horizon Hobby sent a Futura V2 to RCGroups for Review and included the Spektrum AR637T Smart Technology AS3X receiver. The new V2 promises higher performance, improved reliability, and better servo response. However, the V2 has been upgraded to include 13g all-metal gear servos, improved plug-type wing connectors, and a larger, higher kV inrunner brushless motor. Luckily the V2 still retains the original CNC machined trailing-link suspension landing gear, large electronics bay, and stout airframe. The original Futura Sport Jet was developed in conjunction with a team of Sino-German engineers at Tomahawk-Aviation. ![]() Not long ago FMS released a new Futura V2 80mm EDF Jet.
