Overview
The EFL 10-15 Adjustable Axles F-EFLG104 are precision-engineered replacement components designed for E-flite electric retractable landing gear systems in the 10-15 size class. These adjustable axles are essential spare parts for RC model aircraft builders and enthusiasts across the UK who are constructing or maintaining scale aircraft, sport planes, and other RC aeroplanes that utilise retractable landing gear. Whether you're upgrading an existing airframe, replacing damaged components, or fitting out a new project from scratch, these axles provide the adjustability needed to ensure your landing gear operates smoothly and reliably during takeoff and landing sequences.
Retractable landing gear systems have become increasingly popular amongst serious RC aircraft modellers who want to achieve authentic scale realism and improved aerodynamic performance. The E-flite retract range, including these adjustable axles, is recognised throughout the RC modelling community as a trusted, quality solution that works seamlessly with electric retract units across multiple size categories. The 10-15 size classification makes these axles compatible with a broad range of aircraft, from park flyers to larger sport and scale models, offering flexibility for builders working on diverse projects. These adjustable axles are manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring proper alignment, wheel positioning, and gear door clearance—all critical factors for safe and consistent landings in RC aircraft operations.
RC Model Shop stocks a comprehensive range of E-flite retract components and spares, including main and nose gear units, wire struts, steering arms, ball links, and replacement axles across multiple size classes. Our knowledgeable team of RC enthusiasts can advise on compatibility, installation requirements, and selection of the right components for your specific airframe and retract system. With large UK stocks and rapid dispatch, most orders qualify for next-day delivery across the United Kingdom, ensuring you can complete your build or repair quickly and get back in the air sooner.
Key Features
- Adjustable Design — These axles feature adjustable dimensions and positioning, allowing you to fine-tune wheel alignment and axle height to match your specific airframe geometry and retract unit mounting points, ensuring optimal gear door clearance and smooth cycling.
- 10-15 Size Compatibility — Specifically engineered for E-flite electric retract units in the 10-15 size class, these axles work with the EFLG100, EFLG101 and related 10-15 retract components, making them suitable for a wide range of RC aircraft from small sport planes to larger scale models.
- Replacement Spare Part — As wear items in any retractable landing gear system, axles may require periodic replacement or adjustment due to wear, damage, or airframe modifications; having quality spares on hand keeps your fleet flying without extended downtime.
- Precision Engineering — E-flite components are manufactured to exacting tolerances, ensuring reliable operation, smooth gear cycles, and consistent performance across multiple flights and landing cycles.
- Essential for Scale Building — For modellers constructing scale RC aircraft with authentic retractable landing gear, these adjustable axles are a critical component for achieving proper gear geometry and ensuring realistic, trouble-free operation.
Technical Performance
The EFL 10-15 Adjustable Axles are purpose-built components within E-flite's comprehensive retract system ecosystem. These axles are designed to work with electric retract units operating at typical RC receiver battery voltages, commonly ranging from 4.8V to 7.4V, depending on your receiver and onboard battery elimination circuit (BEC) configuration. The adjustable nature of these axles allows modellers to accommodate variations in airframe construction, retract unit mounting positions, and wheel well geometry. Construction utilises durable materials appropriate for repeated extension and retraction cycles throughout the operational life of your RC aircraft. When selecting these axles for your build or repair, ensure you verify compatibility with your specific retract unit model number and airframe requirements. The 10-15 size class covers a substantial range of aircraft sizes and types, from electric-powered trainers and aerobatic planes to larger sport and scale models. Proper installation and adjustment of the axles ensures smooth, reliable gear operation, minimises binding or sticking during cycles, and prevents damage to gear doors, fuselage structure, and other components during extension and retraction sequences. These axles work in conjunction with wire struts, steering arms, and other E-flite retract spares to create a complete, functional landing gear system that performs consistently across hundreds of flight cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size aircraft are the EFL 10-15 Adjustable Axles suitable for? — The 10-15 size classification refers to E-flite's retract system sizing, which covers a broad range of electric RC aircraft from small park flyers and trainers to larger sport planes and scale models. The exact aircraft size compatibility depends on your specific airframe and retract unit selection; consult the E-flite compatibility documentation or contact our team for guidance on your particular model.
- Are these adjustable axles suitable for beginners? — These are replacement and spare components designed for modellers who are already familiar with retractable landing gear systems and airframe construction. If you are new to RC aircraft with retracts, we recommend starting with a complete retract set (such as the EFLG100) and consulting our knowledgeable team for installation and setup guidance. Retract installation requires careful alignment, proper tool use, and understanding of your specific airframe design.
- What voltage do these axles operate at? — The axles themselves are mechanical components without active electronics. They work with E-flite electric retract units that typically operate at 4.8V or 7.4V, determined by your receiver's onboard BEC (battery elimination circuit) and power system. Verify your retract unit's operating voltage specification before purchase.
- How do the EFL 10-15 Adjustable Axles compare to other retract spare components? — E-flite is a recognised leader in RC retract systems, and their components are designed to work seamlessly together within their product range. The 10-15 size class includes main gear units (EFLG100/EFLG101), nose gear units (EFLG111), wire struts (EFLG102, EFLG112), and steering arms (EFLG113), all engineered to provide smooth, reliable operation. These adjustable axles provide the flexibility to accommodate various airframe geometries and installation requirements.
- Are replacement axles covered under warranty? — Warranty terms for E-flite components are determined by the manufacturer. We recommend contacting our team or consulting E-flite's warranty documentation for specific coverage details. As spare parts and wear items, axles may have different warranty terms than complete units.
