Technical Performance
The FMS INTEGRAL FUSELAGE represents quality engineering applied to RC aircraft fuselage construction. At 80mm diameter, this integral fuselage design offers optimal balance between internal volume for component mounting and external aerodynamic efficiency. The integral construction method, where the fuselage is engineered as a unified structure rather than assembled from separate sections, provides superior rigidity and reduces potential connection points that could develop flex during flight. This engineering approach translates directly to more stable flight characteristics, improved control response, and better energy efficiency during your flights. The materials and manufacturing process employed by FMS ensure that this fuselage maintains dimensional consistency, which is critical for proper alignment with wings, tail sections, and internal components. Whether you are replacing a damaged fuselage, upgrading an existing aircraft, or building a custom RC model, this component provides the structural foundation necessary for reliable, consistent performance in the air. The red colour finish is applied with durability in mind, resisting UV fading and maintaining its vibrant appearance through extended use in outdoor flying conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is an integral fuselage and why does it matter for RC aircraft? — An integral fuselage is engineered as a single unified structure rather than assembled from multiple separate components. This design approach provides superior rigidity, reduces potential weak points, and improves overall flight stability. For RC pilots in the UK and beyond, an integral fuselage means more predictable flight characteristics, better control response, and a component built to withstand the stresses of regular flying operations.
- Is this fuselage compatible with my existing RC aircraft? — The FMS INTEGRAL FUSELAGE is designed as an upgrade or replacement component for compatible FMS aircraft models. We recommend checking the specifications of your particular aircraft model to ensure compatibility. RC Model Shop staff can provide guidance on compatibility for your specific aircraft.
- What makes the 80mm size significant for RC aircraft performance? — The 80mm diameter represents an optimised size that balances internal space for mounting components with external aerodynamic efficiency. This size allows adequate room for servos, electronic components, and fuel or battery systems whilst maintaining clean aerodynamics that don't create unnecessary drag during flight.
- How durable is the red finish on this fuselage? — The red colour finish is applied with outdoor durability in mind, designed to resist UV fading and maintain its vibrant appearance through regular use. This ensures your RC aircraft maintains its distinctive appearance throughout extended flying seasons, whether you are flying in UK conditions or elsewhere.
- What warranty and support does this component include? — FMS backs the INTEGRAL FUSELAGE with a 90-day warranty on electronic accessories and genuine parts. Additionally, customers are entitled to long-term official technician support from FMS, ensuring you have access to expert help if you have questions about installation, compatibility, or performance.

For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
