Technical Performance
The F-EFLG102 represents E-flite's commitment to precision engineering in the RC aircraft retract market. Manufactured from premium quality wire stock selected specifically for aviation applications, this strut delivers the durability and reliability that RC scale modellers expect when operating electric retractable landing gear systems. The wire is carefully formed to achieve the precise geometry required for the left main position, ensuring that gear extension and retraction remains smooth, synchronised and free from binding or misalignment. The material selection reflects decades of E-flite's experience in designing equipment that can withstand thousands of landing cycles, from gentle park flyer touchdowns to more robust sport model operations. The strut's design integrates with the broader 10-15 size retract ecosystem, which covers a wide range of electric-powered RC aircraft from small ARTF models through to larger custom builds. Installation is straightforward for modellers with basic mechanical skills, requiring only a small amount of time to remove the damaged component and secure the replacement using existing attachment points. The wire construction allows for slight field adjustment if needed, giving modellers the flexibility to dial in perfect gear alignment after installation. This component has been developed and tested by E-flite to perform reliably within the operating parameters of the 10-15 size retract units, which typically operate at standard receiver voltages compatible with modern RC aircraft electrical systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the F-EFLG102 wire strut compatible with all E-flite 10-15 retract systems? — Yes, this left main wire strut is designed to work with all E-flite electric retract units in the 10-15 size category, including the EFLG100 main set and EFLG101 main retract unit. It is the direct replacement component for damaged or worn struts on existing systems.
- What makes this an essential spare part for RC aircraft owners? — Wire struts are structural components that experience stress during every landing and can become bent or damaged through normal operation or accident. Keeping genuine replacement struts in your spares box means you can quickly restore your retract system to full functionality without waiting for repairs or ordering complete new assemblies.
- Can I use the F-EFLG102 on the right side of my aircraft? — No, this component is specifically engineered for the left main landing gear position. E-flite also produces a right main wire strut (available separately) which must be used for the right side to ensure proper symmetry and balanced operation.
- What tools do I need to install this replacement strut? — Installation requires only basic hand tools such as small screwdrivers, tweezers or needle-nose pliers, and potentially a small wrench depending on your specific retract assembly design. Most modellers can complete installation in under 15 minutes once they've removed the damaged component.
- How does the wire strut affect the weight of my RC aircraft? — The F-EFLG102 is engineered to be as lightweight as possible whilst maintaining structural integrity. The weight addition is negligible compared to the benefit of having reliable retractable landing gear, and is fully accounted for in the design specifications of 10-15 size models.
- Are there other compatible E-flite spare parts I should consider keeping in stock? — E-flite produces a complete range of 10-15 retract spares including adjustable axles (EFLG104), nose gear wire struts (EFLG112), steering arms (EFLG113) and rotating retract components. Many modellers stock a variety of these components to handle different failure modes and minimise downtime.
