Maintain, Upgrade & Hop Up
It's one thing owning and running the coolest RC Plane in the world, but eventually you will need to replace a part (or parts) due to wear and tear, or worst case scenario, due to a crash of some kind. Let's face it, crashes happen to the best of us, and here at MIBI we have solutions for all eventualities. We will always do our best to get your FMS RC Plane back up and running and in the air as fast as possible.
We have FMS replacement parts can be ordered direct from our FMS Spares Section, and usually all you need is the parts number taken from the Aircraft's product Manual. Many spares are held in stock, however due to the sheer volume of spares required across our whole range, we may at times need to order direct from our Distributors, especially when a particular Spare is in high demand.
Most consumable items used in the construction and running of an FMS RC Plane, like Radio Gear, Batteries, Motors, Props, Servos, ESC's, Glow Plugs and Fuel Tubing can be replaced with generic items. Wings, Control Surfaces and Fuselage items tend to be model specific so need like for like replacement.
Stronger, Better, Faster
But there are other options too. FMS also make Option Parts or Upgrades. These Upgrades offer either a Performance Enhancement, Increased Durability or simply an Enhanced Aesthetic. Most Upgrades are a much higher price than their stock replacement Parts, but in terms of Performance, Looks or Durability, well worth the premium.
Lastly there are Hop Ups. Just like Upgrades they enhance Durability, Looks or Performance of your Aircraft. Hop Ups tend to be made by Third Party Manufacturers, who specialise in producing a wide range of Hop Ups across a specific genre of RC, and multiple brands. Hop Ups may often not look as refined or be FMS Upgrades, but they often offer a more Cost Effective and Robust solution to the part, or parts they replace.
