Key Features
- Right-Hand Main Wire Strut Design — This component is specifically manufactured as a right-hand main strut, ensuring it integrates correctly with the 25-46 retract system and provides the proper structural support and gear extension geometry your landing gear requires for reliable operation.
- Engineered for 25-46 Size Range — The strut is purpose-designed to support aircraft within the 25-46 size classification, matching the weight and structural demands of medium to large-scale electric RC aeroplanes, making it compatible with the correct retract unit and mounting system.
- Genuine E-flite Manufacturing — Built by E-flite, a recognised authority in RC aircraft systems, this strut meets original equipment manufacturer specifications and quality standards, ensuring precision fit and reliable performance in your landing gear assembly.
- Wire Strut Construction — The wire strut design provides an optimal balance of strength and lightweight performance, critical for maintaining your aircraft's weight and balance whilst supporting the landing loads encountered during takeoff and landing cycles.
- Direct Replacement Part — This strut is a direct replacement for the original component, eliminating guesswork about compatibility and ensuring your retract system continues to function smoothly after installation.
- Essential Spare Component — Whether you're recovering from a hard landing, upgrading your landing gear system, or building a new aircraft, having genuine replacement struts on hand ensures you can quickly return to flying without extended downtime.
Technical Performance
The EFL 25-46 Right Main Wire Strut exemplifies precision engineering in RC aircraft landing gear systems. As a component within the 25-46 electric retract ecosystem, this strut is engineered to withstand the structural loads and cycles inherent to retractable landing gear on medium to large-scale electric aeroplanes. Wire struts offer superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to alternative designs, allowing your aircraft to maintain its correct centre of gravity whilst providing robust support during landing operations. The strut's construction utilises high-quality materials selected for durability and fatigue resistance, ensuring it maintains its integrity through hundreds of gear extension and retraction cycles. Installation within the E-flite 25-46 retract system requires matching the strut's mounting footprint and connection points exactly, which this genuine component guarantees. The strut works in concert with other 25-46 system components including the main retract unit, adjustable axles, and other structural elements to create a reliable, smooth-operating landing gear assembly. For RC plane builders across the UK selecting landing gear systems, understanding that all components—including struts—must be from the same manufacturer ecosystem ensures seamless integration and predictable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the "25-46 Right Main Wire Strut" specification mean? — The "25-46" refers to the size classification of electric retract systems this strut is designed for, matching the weight and structural requirements of RC aeroplanes in this category range. The "Right Main" designation indicates this is the right-hand side main landing gear strut (as opposed to the left side or nose gear struts). This specification ensures you select the correct component for your specific landing gear configuration and aircraft type.
- Is this a left-hand or right-hand strut? — This is specifically the right-hand main wire strut, designed for the right main landing gear leg. If you need to replace or build both main gear struts, you will need to order both the right strut (F-EFLG303) and the left strut (F-EFLG302) as separate components, as they are mirror images of each other.
- Will this strut fit my existing retract system? — This strut is engineered specifically for E-flite 25-46 electric retract systems. To ensure compatibility, verify that your aircraft is equipped with or designed to accommodate the 25-46 retract system ecosystem. Matching the mounting footprint, connection points, and overall dimensions with your existing retract unit is critical for proper installation and performance.
- What aircraft size range uses 25-46 landing gear? — The 25-46 designation typically indicates medium to large-scale electric RC aeroplanes, encompassing sport, scale, and aerobatic models within this weight and structural category. Your aircraft's documentation or retract system specifications will confirm whether 25-46 components are appropriate for your specific model.
- Can I use this strut as a replacement for a damaged component? — Yes, this genuine E-flite strut is ideal as a direct replacement if your existing strut has been damaged during a hard landing or through normal wear. Replacing the strut with a genuine component ensures you restore your landing gear to original manufacturer specifications and maintain reliable operation.
- What other 25-46 components do I need to complete a landing gear system? — A complete main landing gear assembly for the 25-46 system includes the main retract unit itself, both right and left main wire struts, adjustable axles for wheel mounting, and appropriate control electronics. Our RC Model Shop team can advise on complete retract sets (such as the 25-46 90degree Main Electric Retracts or tricycle configurations) if you need a fully integrated system rather than individual components.
