Technical Performance
The E-flite Upgraded Landing Gear is manufactured to the same precision standards as the Turbo Timber Evolution 1.5m aircraft itself, ensuring that this retrofit kit integrates seamlessly with your existing aircraft structure. The heavy duty springs are engineered to absorb impact energy during landing, protecting the fuselage, wing struts and control linkages from excessive stress. This is particularly important for STOL aircraft like the Turbo Timber Evolution, which are specifically designed for operations on unprepared surfaces where gentle grass strips and bush airfields may present challenging landing conditions. The upgrade from standard to heavy duty springs represents a meaningful improvement in durability without affecting the aircraft's aerodynamic performance or flight characteristics. The landing gear retainer components work in conjunction with the upgraded springs to keep the gear securely attached to the fuselage during all phases of flight, from takeoff through landing and ground handling.
