One of the most legendary bush planes of the 20th century, the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver was built in 1946 to a simple brief from wilderness pilots: exceptional short take-off and landing ability, ruggedness in harsh conditions, and adaptability to wheels, skis or floats. It became the symbol of backcountry aviation — and FMS has recreated the classic at an ultra-portable 800mm wingspan that keeps all of its character.

This Ready-to-Fly version is the complete package for first-time pilots: everything you need is in the box, including the FMS transmitter, flight battery and charger. At its heart is an integrated 3-in-1 unit combining the receiver, gyro and ESC — the gyro works like an invisible co-pilot, continuously correcting pitch, roll and yaw so the Beaver stays level and predictable, even if you let the sticks go. GPS auto-return adds a further safety net, helping bring the Beaver back rather than losing it downwind — valuable peace of mind for new pilots. It's the confidence-builder that makes those first flights stable, safe and fun.

Accurately reproduced radial engine detail, rivet lines, antennas and steel wire landing gear with realistic fairings. True to the original, it's a genuine STOL performer, lifting off in as little as 3 metres — perfect for parks and small fields. Knob-style quick-release wings attach tool-free in about 10 seconds, the snap-on belly hatch keeps the battery secure, and a factory slot in the wing top accepts a 25mm AIO FPV camera (sold separately) for plug-and-play first-person flying. The brushless 2315-KV3850 motor delivers quiet, capable power through a 12A ESC and four digital servos.
