FMS also has a 109F coming out at the same time, looks to fly very nicely.
If you do decide to grab one of these FMS birds do some research if you are in the US,
I have heard a lot of bad stories about the vendor that produced the video, they don't have
A good rep at all!

The problem with the World is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

I use www.HobbyKing.com they have that 190 as well as a few other large ARF type electrics, prices are cheap.

Hobbyking doesn't stock FMS models, the 190 they have is sold under several different brands and is not as scale as the new FMS version.
PW-rc and rc castle in Singapore are 2 great stores to deal with, the customer service you will get from them is fantastic,

Plus they also stock a lot of spares which is great!
The new 109, and 190 have not been released yet, but should be within the next few weeks, the FMS Stuka, zero, hellcat, and p-38 are also really nice models from what I have seen, and for what they are ( foamies)

I've heard the same thing about BananaHobby, but I've personally never used them before. I do know that they are the only US distributor of the FMS birds.

I have found that many of those products are the same just the packaging is different and possibly the components (motors/servos) are different, all made in China, if you browse the site you'll find videos for nearly all their products and you can see what they look like up close. Some of the ARF's are available as a kit with none of the hardware pre-assembled which leads me to believe they are all manufactured by the same source company and sold by distributors under their own label.

the larger 1400mm size ones listed as FMS are only sold under the FMS label, they aren't even sold as Airfield now by nitroplanes.

Trumps is 100% correct. NP use to re-brand FMS planes into their airfield line; that's no longer the case.

The sole US distributor for FMS planes is BananaHobby going forward. PW-RC and RC Castle will also carry them, and I know for a fact that they are outstanding when it comes to supplies of replacement parts for FMS.
