Fold away high efficiency propeller

Snap together assembly, no glue necessary

Overview

True to the FMS spirit, no detail was overlooked in the design of the ASW-17. The FMS engineers made 4 expensive tooling adjustments just to micro-adjust the airfoil for perfect efficiency. The wing, vertical and horizontal stabilizers are designed with a snap-together structure. With a simple snap, the surfaces attach to the fuselage with pinpoint precision- no screws or glue necessary! Build the aircraft in as little as 3 minutes! Like the 3000mm Fox, the ASW-17 has a pre-installed carbon fiber spar that ensures wing rigidity in high-G maneuvers. To achieve the same dihedral as the real aircraft, the ASW-17 was designed with a specialized CNC aluminum spar joiner- allowing the aircraft to maintain its wing geometry during demanding flight routines. Performance-wise, a high-quality Hobbywing 40A ESC paired with a Predator 3541-750KV motor provides ample power with a 4S pack to perform most aerobatic maneuvers. If efficiency, stability and aerobatic capabilities are what you seek in a glider, look no further than the FMS 2500mm ASW-17!

High Quality Plane. Fun to Fly. Recommended

This is a well built plane. It pretty much snaps together, except for connecting the linkages on the rudder and elevator which requires a bit of fiddling and is not my favorite thing to do at the field, so I leave them connected. It has flown well so far. I am learning how to fly and set it up correctly. It's not like flying a small, responsive foamy and a bit of learning is needed to get good at it. Down elevator mix seems needed for flaps, especially full flaps. Maybe a little down elevator mix needed for high throttle. It will climb on you. CG was right on with a 2500mA 4S centered in the middle of the straps. I still have some adjustments to make. Launching it without flaps has worked best. Landing without flaps takes a lot of space as it will coast a long way. So far I've found 1/2 flaps for landing works well. Go great plane. This is my 1st 2m bird. Loving it so far. Highly recommended.

ASW 17

The plane is FMS quality. It goes together easily. The one issue I had is one of the wing tubes for the aluminum spar may not be exactly straight as the spar rod about half way in get difficult to full insert the rod. The other side the spar slides in effortlessly. I tried and switched rods and the same wing with the other spar had the same tight results. My finds result is the one wing tube may have the slightest bend probably during construction. Once the rod is fully inserted it is ok. Just during assembly is it sticky.
The glider is big and flies great with minimal trim. I used the 4s 220mAh battery and that works well and is heavy enough to balance the CG well. I painted the top of the wing tips orange and out dark blue strips on the underside of the wing. Helps with the visibility. Handles 5-10mph wind well. Great fun flyer and a nice change from my other planes.

Very nice Sailplane

Have enjoyed this model very much and even more so after programming the trailing edge to lower for working a thermal. This is done picking the wing set up with two airlerons servos and one flap sevo. then disconnecting the LEFT airleron from the Y-harness and plugging it in to AUX1 (flap goes to gear channel). Check out the tutorial on U-tube on how to do his. Then you will be able to slow down and take advantage of those allusively thermals.

Follow-up on my first review

Still love this glider and fly it every time I go to the field. However, today I had a close call when the horizontal stabilizer came loose in mid-air (the plastic click mechanism failed) and I suddenly had to deal with instant full up-elevator. Somehow, managed to land in one piece. I will glue it with epoxy and that should be the end of it, but beware of this issue.

Assembly and first flight impressions

The good: High quality EPO finish; assembly is super easy with all snap-on surfaces; set-up as full-house with vario; feels solid and looks impressive in the air; floats and thermals easy; no visible wing flex during loops or sharp turns; great whooshing sound;
The bad: GC in the manual is wrong (too tail heavy - almost crashed on maiden flight); moved 4S 2600 battery forward to center-of-straps position and it flies great; no flap set-up in the manual - needs 20-30% down elevator with full flaps to counter ballooning; all-white design is scale, but makes it hard to maintain visual orientation at high altitude - I painted stripes on the bottom of the wings; slightly underpowered - plan ahead when using throttle as there is a bit of inertia to overcome.

Overall: great sailplane at a great price. Highly recommended.

Q: Two questions please. Is this the model # (FMM129P) for the new version of the retooled by engineers ---asw 17 ep glider pnp 2500mm? My retailer has an old version without the retooling that i am trying to avoid. Secondly, your sales description of this pnp model states under the (needed to complete) -- Battery and a radio. And yet I cannot find any info on which receiver you have supplied. Which receiver are you supplying?
