This landing gear set is the official E-flite replacement component, engineered to the exact specifications of your UMX Timber BNF Basic airframe. Whether you're recovering from a rough landing, replacing worn components as part of routine maintenance, or building a backup airframe, this landing gear assembly delivers the reliability and fit precision that discerning RC pilots demand.
