Overview
Keep your E-flite Habu 80 XS EDF Jet or Airbus A320neo flying reliably with these genuine E-flite Retract Strut Pins. Landing gear systems are critical components of any retractable-gear RC aircraft, and maintaining them in perfect working order ensures smooth, consistent take-offs and landings every time you fly. These replacement strut pins are essential spares for RC jet enthusiasts in the UK who demand precision engineering and reliable performance from their aircraft models.
Whether you're an experienced RC pilot who flies regularly at your local airfield or a dedicated hobbyist who maintains an impressive collection of scale aircraft, these retract strut pins are a practical addition to your field kit or workshop bench. Original pins can become worn, damaged, or lost during normal operation or maintenance, and having genuine replacement parts on hand means you won't be grounded when you need to fly. The Habu 80 XS EDF Jet and Airbus A320neo are sophisticated scale models that deserve quality spare parts, and these E-flite pins deliver exactly that.
This set contains everything you need to restore full landing gear retraction function, with dedicated pins for the left gear, right gear, and nose gear assemblies. As an authorised E-flite retailer, RC Model Shop stocks genuine parts that match the original specifications of your aircraft, ensuring perfect fit and reliable operation every single time you deploy your landing gear.

Technical Performance
E-flite retract strut pins are precision-engineered components manufactured to the exacting standards expected from a leading RC aircraft brand. These pins are designed to work seamlessly within the retract strut assembly of the Habu 80 XS EDF Jet and Airbus A320neo, where they play a critical role in the mechanical linkage that deploys and retracts the landing gear. The pins must withstand repeated cycles of deployment and retraction, maintaining precise tolerances and alignment throughout thousands of operational cycles. Materials and manufacturing processes ensure durability and reliability in demanding flying conditions. As scale model aircraft have become increasingly sophisticated, with electric retract systems that demand precise mechanical tolerances, quality spare pins become essential for maintaining the smooth operation that separates a well-maintained aircraft from one that develops niggling problems. Whether you fly regularly at your local RC airfield or undertake intensive maintenance sessions at home, having genuine E-flite pins ensures your landing gear functions perfectly every time, delivering the reliable performance you expect from a quality scale model.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What aircraft models do these retract strut pins fit? — These pins are specifically designed for the E-flite Habu 80 XS EDF Jet and the E-flite Airbus A320neo. Always confirm your aircraft model before ordering to ensure correct fitment and compatibility with your landing gear assembly.
- Why would I need replacement retract strut pins? — Landing gear strut pins can wear out through normal operation as the retract mechanism cycles thousands of times, or they can become damaged during rough landings or hangar accidents. Original pins may also be lost during disassembly for maintenance. Replacement pins restore smooth, reliable gear operation.
- Are these genuine E-flite parts? — Yes, these are official E-flite spare parts manufactured to original equipment specifications. Buying genuine parts ensures perfect fit, reliable performance, and compatibility with your aircraft's retract system, unlike cheaper aftermarket alternatives.
- Can I fit these myself? — These are replacement parts for the landing gear retract assembly, and installation requires familiarity with your aircraft's gear mechanism. If you're uncertain about installation, consult the aircraft manual or seek assistance from experienced RC pilots at your local club.
- How many pins do I need? — This set includes all three pins required for a complete landing gear assembly: left gear pin, right gear pin, and nose gear pin. One set provides all necessary replacements for a full gear system.
- What should I do if my landing gear isn't retracting properly? — Several issues could affect gear retraction including worn pins, damaged linkages, servo problems, or electrical faults. Start by inspecting the strut pins for damage or wear. If pins appear worn or damaged, replacement with these genuine E-flite pins often restores full functionality.
- Are these compatible with other E-flite aircraft? — These pins are specifically engineered for the Habu 80 XS EDF Jet and Airbus A320neo. Do not attempt to fit them to other aircraft models as they may not be mechanically compatible with different gear assemblies.
- How should I store spare retract pins? — Keep pins in a clean, dry environment away from moisture and contamination. Store them in a small parts box or envelope where they won't be lost, and keep them as part of your regular RC aircraft maintenance kit.
