Technical Performance
The E-flite Nose Gear with Wheel is manufactured to the highest standards and carries the official manufacturer identification number 605482156971, confirming its authenticity as a genuine E-flite part. This nose gear assembly is specifically engineered for the Habu SS 50mm EDF electric ducted fan jet, one of the most popular intermediate to advanced electric RC jets in the UK and worldwide.
