Overview
The FMS 70MM SU-27 Horizontal Stabiliser is a precision replacement part designed for RC aircraft enthusiasts who demand authentic scale modelling and reliable performance. This horizontal stabiliser component is engineered to enhance the aerodynamic stability of your SU-27 scale RC plane, ensuring superior flight characteristics and handling. Whether you're an experienced RC pilot in the UK or a dedicated scale aircraft builder, this stabiliser delivers the authentic proportions and structural integrity that serious hobbyists expect from FMS, a recognised leader in scale RC aircraft manufacturing.
The 70mm horizontal stabiliser is a critical component in the SU-27's control surface assembly, playing a vital role in pitch control and overall aircraft stability during flight. By replacing a damaged or worn stabiliser with this genuine FMS component, you can restore your aircraft to factory specifications and maintain the precise flight dynamics for which the SU-27 is renowned. This is an essential part for anyone maintaining or repairing their scale RC aeroplane collection.
Key Features
- 70mm Scale Dimension — The 70mm width is specifically engineered to match the authentic proportions of the SU-27 design, ensuring your RC scale aircraft maintains correct aerodynamic balance and visual accuracy that serious scale modellers demand.
- Horizontal Stabiliser Design — This component functions as the rear horizontal control surface essential for pitch control and longitudinal stability, making it a critical element in maintaining predictable and responsive flight behaviour.
- Genuine FMS Manufacturing — As an official FMS component, this stabiliser is manufactured to OEM specifications and quality standards, guaranteeing compatibility and performance with your SU-27 scale RC aircraft.
- Precision Construction — The stabiliser is built with the exacting standards required for scale aviation, ensuring straight alignment, proper aerodynamic profile and durability through repeated flights.
Technical Performance
The FMS 70MM SU-27 Horizontal Stabiliser represents precision engineering in scale RC aircraft components. Manufactured to exact specifications by FMS Hobby, this stabiliser maintains the aerodynamic integrity crucial for authentic SU-27 flight characteristics. The 70mm dimension directly corresponds to the aircraft's scale proportions, ensuring that when installed, the SU-27 achieves proper centre of gravity balance and optimal pitch response. Scale RC aircraft require components engineered to exacting standards, as even minor deviations can affect flight stability and handling characteristics. This genuine FMS component has been designed to withstand the stresses of repeated flights whilst maintaining its structural integrity and aerodynamic profile. For pilots operating RC aircraft in the UK or internationally, maintaining factory-specification components ensures consistent performance, predictable flight behaviour and long-term reliability of your investment in scale model aviation equipment.

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.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.
