Overview
The EFL Landing Gear Set for the Habu STS 70mm EDF is an essential replacement or upgrade component for pilots who want to maintain their E-flite jet trainer in peak flying condition.

The Habu STS is renowned as an excellent trainer aircraft for pilots stepping up from slower aeroplanes to high-speed jet-powered flight, and keeping your landing gear in top condition is crucial for safe, consistent operations.
This landing gear set is specifically engineered to fit the E-flite Habu STS 70mm EDF Smart Jet, ensuring perfect compatibility and reliable performance on every touchdown. As an authorised E-flite parts distributor, RC Model Shop stocks genuine, factory-quality landing gear components that meet original equipment manufacturer specifications.

RC enthusiasts across the UK trust genuine E-flite spares to keep their jets flying their best.
Landing gear is one of the most heavily stressed components on any RC jet aircraft, absorbing impact forces on every landing and bearing the full weight of the aircraft on the runway or grass. Having access to quality replacement landing gear means you can keep your Habu STS in the air without worrying about worn or damaged components compromising your flights. Whether you fly recreationally, use your Habu STS as a trainer for new pilots, or practice advanced manoeuvres, a reliable landing gear set is non-negotiable for consistent, safe operations.

Technical Performance
The landing gear assembly for the Habu STS 70mm EDF is precision-engineered to absorb and distribute landing forces efficiently while maintaining alignment and stability on the ground. As the primary contact point between your high-performance trainer jet and the runway or grass field, the landing gear must be robust enough to handle repeated touchdowns whilst remaining light enough to not compromise flight performance. E-flite has designed this gear system to integrate seamlessly with the Habu STS airframe, providing the proper stance and ground clearance for safe operations. The components are manufactured from materials selected for their strength-to-weight ratio, durability under repeated stress cycles, and resistance to the corrosion and wear that comes with exposure to outdoor flying environments. Whether you're landing on tarmac runways, grass fields, or concrete aprons, this landing gear provides reliable, repeatable performance. The engineering and quality control that goes into every E-flite component means you can focus on flying and training rather than worrying about gear failure or misalignment.
