Overview
The E-flite 60–120 Nose Gear Steering Arm (F-EFLG413) is an essential replacement and upgrade component for RC aircraft builders and enthusiasts working with larger-scale electric retractable landing gear systems. This precision-engineered steering arm is specifically designed for E-flite's 60–120 size nose gear assemblies, making it the perfect choice for modellers constructing scale RC planes, sport flyers, and high-performance electric aircraft that demand reliable, responsive nose wheel steering. Whether you're restoring a damaged aircraft, upgrading an existing build, or constructing a new project from scratch, this steering arm ensures smooth, accurate directional control during taxi, take-off, and landing phases of flight.
As a dedicated RC hobby retailer across the UK, we understand the critical importance of quality landing gear components in RC aircraft performance. The nose gear steering arm plays a vital role in the overall retractable landing gear system, translating control inputs into precise nose wheel movements that keep your aircraft tracking straight during ground operations. This is particularly important for larger models in the 60–120cc equivalent range, where precise control and robust construction are non-negotiable. The E-flite steering arm represents the engineering excellence and reliability that Horizon Hobby is recognised for throughout the RC model aircraft community.
Our stock of E-flite landing gear components—including nose gear steering arms, wire struts, retract units, and adjustable axles—reflects our commitment to supporting modellers at every stage of their RC aircraft journey. From initial build to routine maintenance and repair, RC Model Shop stocks the spares and replacement parts you need to keep your fleet airworthy and performing at its best.
Key Features
- Engineered for 60–120 Size Aircraft — This steering arm is purpose-designed to work with E-flite's 60–120 nose gear retract units and assemblies, ensuring perfect fitment and reliable steering response on larger RC aircraft that demand professional-grade components.
- Precision Construction — Built to exacting standards by Horizon Hobby's E-flite brand, the steering arm is manufactured to maintain consistency and durability across countless flight cycles, taxi operations, and landing events without wear or slop developing at critical connection points.
- Direct Replacement Compatibility — This component is a direct replacement part for existing E-flite 60–120 nose gear systems, making upgrades or repairs straightforward for modellers with established builds who need to maintain or restore their aircraft to factory specifications.
- Smooth Nose Wheel Control — The steering arm translates control surface movements into smooth, predictable nose wheel steering action, which is essential for maintaining directional control during taxi and preventing nose-over incidents on uneven terrain or during crosswind operations.
- Durable Materials — E-flite components are engineered from materials selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance in the demanding environment of RC aircraft operations, ensuring long service life even with regular use.
- Essential Landing Gear System Component — The nose gear steering arm is a critical part of the retractable landing gear assembly, working in concert with servo motors, wire struts, and retract units to deliver the reliable, responsive ground handling that serious RC aircraft builders expect.
Technical Performance
The E-flite 60–120 Nose Gear Steering Arm is engineered to deliver the precision and durability required by serious RC aircraft builders working with larger electric models. At this scale and weight category (equivalent to 60–120cc petrol aircraft), landing gear performance is absolutely critical to safe, reliable ground operations. The steering arm must smoothly translate servo commands into nose wheel movement without hesitation, backlash, or binding—any degradation in steering response can lead to directional control loss during taxi or landing, potentially resulting in costly accidents. The component's construction reflects Horizon Hobby's expertise in scale RC aircraft systems, with attention paid to load paths, stress distribution, and material fatigue resistance. For modellers operating high-value aircraft in this size range, using original E-flite replacement components ensures that steering performance remains consistent with the aircraft's original design intent. The steering arm integrates seamlessly with E-flite's 60–120 nose retract unit (part number EFLG41190), nose gear wire strut (EFLG412), and adjustable axles (EFLG404), allowing modellers to source compatible replacement parts with confidence. Whether you're performing routine maintenance, repairing damage sustained during operation, or upgrading an existing build with fresh components, the E-flite steering arm delivers the precision engineering and reliability expected from a leading RC aircraft manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this steering arm compatible with my E-flite aircraft or landing gear system? — The E-flite 60–120 Nose Gear Steering Arm is designed specifically for E-flite's 60–120 size nose gear assemblies. If your aircraft uses an E-flite 60–120 retract unit (EFLG41190) or related 60–120 nose gear components, this steering arm will be fully compatible. Always verify your existing component part numbers before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
- What is the difference between nose gear sizes like 10–15, 25–46, and 60–120? — E-flite offers nose gear steering arms in multiple sizes to suit different aircraft scales and weight categories. The 10–15 size is for smaller park flyer and trainer aircraft, the 25–46 size handles mid-range sport and scale models, and the 60–120 size (this product) is engineered for larger aircraft equivalent to 60–120cc petrol models. Always match the steering arm size to your retract unit size to ensure proper load capacity and control response.
- Can I use this steering arm to upgrade or replace a damaged component on my existing aircraft? — Yes, the E-flite 60–120 Nose Gear Steering Arm is a direct replacement part for damaged or worn steering arms in compatible nose gear systems. If your existing 60–120 nose gear assembly is intact but the steering arm requires replacement, this component can be installed as a direct swap without modifying your aircraft or other landing gear components.
- What servo do I need for nose gear steering? — The source material does not specify servo torque requirements for this steering arm. We recommend consulting the installation documentation for your E-flite 60–120 retract unit or contacting our experienced team at RC Model Shop for personalised advice on servo selection and sizing for your specific aircraft build.
- Is this a complete nose gear assembly or just a spare part? — This product is a single replacement component—the steering arm only. It is designed for modellers who already have a compatible E-flite 60–120 nose gear system and need to replace the steering arm due to wear, damage, or upgrade requirements. If you need a complete nose gear assembly, we stock the full EFLG41190 90-degree Nose Retract Unit and compatible component kits.
- How do I install the steering arm on my nose gear assembly? — The source material does not include detailed installation instructions. We recommend consulting the assembly documentation provided with your E-flite retract unit, or contacting our team for installation guidance. Our knowledgeable staff can advise on fitting procedures and compatibility for your specific aircraft project.
