The HobbyZone Duet S2 is renowned for being an excellent choice for newcomers to the RC hobby, and having genuine spare parts on hand is crucial for keeping your aircraft airworthy.

Technical Performance
The HobbyZone Duet S2 Landing Gear Set is engineered to withstand the repeated stresses of takeoff and landing cycles typical of trainer aircraft operation. The landing gear assembly is a critical structural component that absorbs impact forces and supports the aircraft's weight during ground handling. This genuine replacement ensures that your Duet S2 maintains the same weight distribution, balance characteristics and handling performance as the original aircraft. The components are manufactured to precise tolerances that match the airframe mounting points, ensuring secure attachment and preventing issues such as misalignment that could affect flight characteristics. For operators who fly their trainers frequently, whether for initial training or continuing skill development, having genuine replacement landing gear available means minimal downtime and consistent performance across multiple flight sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the HobbyZone Duet S2 Landing Gear Set easy to install? — Yes, this is a direct replacement component designed for straightforward installation. It simply replaces the original landing gear assembly with no modification required. If you have the Duet S2 instruction manual, it contains detailed guidance on removing and installing the landing gear, and our team at RC Model Shop are happy to provide support if you need clarification on any installation steps.
- What damage would require me to replace the landing gear? — Common reasons to replace the landing gear include cracks or breaks from hard landings, bent struts that affect ground handling, damaged wheels or axles, and general wear from repeated landing impacts. If your aircraft is not sitting level on the ground, has difficulty rolling, or you notice visible damage to the gear assembly, replacement is recommended to maintain safe flight characteristics.
- Can I use non-genuine landing gear on my Duet S2? — Whilst some hobbyists attempt to use generic or modified landing gear, genuine HobbyZone components are engineered to match your aircraft's specifications precisely. Using genuine parts ensures proper weight distribution, correct mounting alignment, and reliability. Non-approved parts may fit poorly, affect aircraft balance, or fail during flight operations.
- How often should I replace the landing gear? — Landing gear typically needs replacement only when damaged or showing signs of wear. With normal flying, a landing gear assembly should last through many flight sessions. However, if you fly frequently or on rough surfaces, checking the gear after each session helps identify issues early before they cause problems.
- What battery does the Duet S2 use, and will replacing the landing gear affect flight time? — The HobbyZone Duet S2 uses 1S LiPo batteries (such as the Spektrum 3.7v 1S 210mAh 50C or E-Flite 3.7v 1S 150mAh batteries). Replacing the landing gear will not affect battery performance or flight duration, as the gear assembly has negligible weight impact on overall aircraft performance.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — Absolutely. The HobbyZone Duet S2 is specifically designed as a beginner trainer aircraft, and maintaining it with genuine spare parts is exactly what beginners should do. This landing gear set is an ideal first spare component for any new Duet S2 owner to have on hand.
- Do you stock other Duet S2 spares I might need? — Yes, RC Model Shop maintains a full range of HobbyZone Duet S2 spares including propeller and spinner sets, complete tail sets, batteries, chargers, and more. Check with our team to find everything you need for repairs and maintenance.
