Overview
The E-flite 15-25 Nose Gear Steering Arm (F-EFLG213) is an essential replacement and upgrade component designed for RC modellers who operate scale aircraft with retractable landing gear systems. This precision-engineered steering arm is specifically sized for the 15-25 size category of electric retract units, making it ideal for mid-range sport and scale RC planes that demand smooth, reliable nose gear steering control. Whether you're upgrading an existing airframe, replacing a damaged steering arm, or completing a new build project, this component integrates seamlessly with E-flite's comprehensive range of electric retract systems to deliver responsive ground handling and authentic scale aircraft movement.
Built by E-flite, a brand trusted by RC enthusiasts across the UK and beyond, this nose gear steering arm represents the quality and precision engineering that modellers expect from dedicated aero accessory manufacturers. The 15-25 size designation matches perfectly with E-flite's 15-25 size nose electric retract units and compatible landing gear assemblies, ensuring proper fitment and functional performance. RC pilots working with ARTF, ARF balsa kits and custom builds will appreciate the reliability and attention to detail in this component, which forms a critical part of any steerable nose gear installation.
When selecting landing gear components for your RC aircraft, compatibility is paramount. The steering arm works in conjunction with other nose gear elements to provide directional control during taxi, takeoff and landing phases of flight. By choosing genuine E-flite components from an authorised UK retailer, you guarantee OEM quality, proper engineering tolerances and seamless compatibility with your existing or planned retract installation.
Key Features
- 15-25 Size Classification — This steering arm is engineered specifically for E-flite's 15-25 size electric nose retract units, ensuring perfect mechanical and dimensional compatibility with mid-range sport and scale model airframes in this weight and power category.
- Precision Engineering — Manufactured to exacting tolerances by E-flite, a recognised leader in RC aircraft systems, this steering arm delivers smooth, responsive steering input that translates pilot commands into accurate nose gear directional control during ground operations.
- Replacement and Upgrade Component — Whether you're restoring an aircraft with wear or damage, upgrading from older mechanical steering systems, or installing fresh components in a new build, this steering arm provides a reliable solution for steerable nose gear installations.
- Seamless Integration — Designed to work with E-flite's complete range of 15-25 size electric retracts, nose gear wire struts, adjustable axles and retract units, this arm is part of an ecosystem of components engineered to work together perfectly.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand repeated taxi cycles, takeoff and landing events, and the mechanical stresses inherent in operating steerable nose gear systems on electric-powered RC aircraft.
Technical Performance
The E-flite 15-25 Nose Gear Steering Arm is engineered as a precision mechanical linkage component within retractable landing gear systems. As a steering arm rather than a powered component, it does not have its own motor or power rating; instead, it acts as a control linkage that translates servo input (typically from a dedicated nose gear steering servo) into directional movement of the nose wheel during ground operations. The 15-25 size designation indicates this component is engineered for aircraft in the 15-25 pound class, which typically operate with 4.8V to 7.4V receiver and servo power systems common in modern RC aircraft installations. The arm's design accommodates the mechanical linkage geometry required for effective nose wheel steering, which is essential for realistic scale aircraft behaviour and practical ground handling on the flight line. Like all E-flite landing gear components, this steering arm is designed to integrate with retract units that operate on standard servo voltages, typically ranging from 4.8V (2S LiPo equivalent) to 7.4V (3S LiPo equivalent) depending on your receiver and battery configuration. The component's material construction and mechanical precision ensure smooth operation through hundreds of taxi and landing cycles, maintaining consistent steering response and reliability throughout the operational life of your RC aircraft.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the E-flite 15-25 Nose Gear Steering Arm compatible with all E-flite retract systems? — This steering arm is specifically sized for the 15-25 size category of E-flite electric retract systems. To ensure compatibility, verify that your nose retract unit is designated as 15-25 size (such as model EFLG21190, the 15-25 Size 90 Degree Nose Electric Retract Unit). Compatibility with other brands' retract systems is not guaranteed, as dimensions and mounting interfaces may differ.
- What size aircraft does this steering arm suit? — The 15-25 size designation indicates this component is engineered for RC aircraft in the 15-25 pound weight class. This covers a wide range of mid-range sport and scale models, from larger foam park flyers to substantial ARTF balsa builds and custom kit aircraft projects popular with UK RC modellers.
- Do I need a servo to operate the nose gear steering? — Yes, this steering arm functions as a linkage component and requires connection to a servo dedicated to nose gear steering control. The servo receives commands from your radio receiver's nose gear channel, translating those inputs into directional movement of the nose wheel through the steering arm linkage.
- Can this steering arm be used as a direct replacement? — If you are replacing an existing nose gear steering arm on an aircraft already equipped with a compatible 15-25 size E-flite retract installation, this component should serve as a direct replacement provided the mounting points and mechanical geometry match your existing installation. If you are uncertain about compatibility, our experienced team at RC Model Shop can provide guidance based on your specific aircraft model.
- What is the difference between nose gear steering arms in different size categories? — E-flite manufactures separate steering arms for each retract size category (10-15, 15-25, 25-46, and 60-120) because the mechanical geometry, mounting interfaces and linkage dimensions vary with aircraft size and weight. Using the correct size ensures proper steering response and prevents mechanical misalignment or binding during operation.
