Carbon construction delivers rigid support for your aircraft during takeoff and landing whilst keeping weight to a minimum, which preserves your model's flight characteristics and battery runtime.

Technical Performance
The E-flite Carbon Landing Gear represents precision engineering designed specifically for the DRACO 2.0m airframe. Constructed entirely from carbon material, this component offers the structural integrity necessary to withstand the rigours of repeated takeoffs and landings whilst maintaining minimal weight addition to your aircraft. The rigid carbon construction ensures that your landing gear will not flex or deform under load, providing consistent ground handling and protecting your fuselage during every landing. Carbon fibre composites have become the material of choice for high-performance RC aircraft components because they deliver superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to traditional materials. The DRACO 2.0m is engineered as a precision electric RC aircraft, and this genuine landing gear maintains that standard of quality and performance. By using authentic E-flite components, you preserve the aerodynamic balance and handling characteristics that make the DRACO such a capable performer in UK airspace. This is not a compromise part or a budget alternative — it is the genuine article that your manufacturer designed and tested specifically for this aircraft model.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this landing gear compatible with my E-flite DRACO 2.0m RC aircraft? — Yes, this E-flite Carbon Landing Gear (part number EFL12559) is designed as a direct replacement for the DRACO 2.0m. However, we recommend checking the part number against your aircraft manual or spares list to confirm suitability for your specific model variant, as E-flite sometimes produces multiple versions.
- Why should I choose a genuine E-flite spare instead of a third-party alternative? — Genuine manufacturer components are engineered and tested specifically for your aircraft model. They guarantee perfect fit, proper weight distribution and performance characteristics that match the original specification. Third-party alternatives may introduce compatibility issues or alter your aircraft's handling. As a recognised UK RC retailer, we stock only genuine parts to protect your investment.
- What is the advantage of carbon landing gear over other materials? — Carbon construction provides superior strength combined with minimal weight. This means your aircraft maintains its intended balance and performance whilst the rigid structure withstands the stresses of landing and taxiing. Carbon is also more durable than some lighter alternatives, making it an excellent long-term investment for your RC aircraft.
- Can I install this landing gear myself, or do I need professional help? — Most RC aircraft owners can install genuine replacement components with basic tools and patience. Consult your DRACO 2.0m manual for installation instructions. If you're unsure, our experienced team at RC Model Shop is happy to discuss the process with you — simply contact us on 01543 577278 during business hours.
- How do I know I'm ordering the correct part for my aircraft? — The part number is EFL12559 and the manufacturer reference is 605482719916. Match these numbers against your aircraft documentation or spares list. RC Model Shop also offers a price match service and welcomes customer enquiries, so feel free to ask if you're uncertain whether this part is correct for your setup.
- Why do RC aircraft need regular landing gear maintenance? — Landing gear endures significant stress during ground operations — takeoff, landing and taxiing place loads on the undercarriage that can cause wear, cracks or bending over time. A damaged landing gear not only compromises ground handling but can lead to fuselage damage if it fails during operation. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn components is essential for safety and aircraft longevity.
