Overview
The FMS Avanti V3 Front Landing Gear Set (FMSEA113) is a precision replacement component designed specifically for the FMS Avanti V3 RC aircraft. This 70mm front landing gear set is engineered to enhance the stability and performance of your RC plane during takeoff and landing operations. Whether you're an experienced RC aircraft enthusiast or a dedicated hobbyist looking to upgrade or repair your Avanti V3, this genuine FMS component ensures your aircraft maintains optimal ground handling characteristics. For RC plane pilots across the UK seeking reliable, manufacturer-approved landing gear solutions, the Avanti V3 front gear set represents a straightforward yet essential upgrade option.
Landing gear quality is fundamental to successful RC aircraft operation, and FMS has engineered this component to deliver the durability and precision required for consistent, reliable flights. The 70mm specification is purpose-built to match the exact dimensions and weight distribution requirements of the Avanti V3 airframe, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal aerodynamic balance. If your existing landing gear has sustained damage, wear, or if you simply want to have a spare set on hand for your flying sessions, this replacement gear set provides genuine OEM quality at an affordable price point.
RC aircraft ownership extends beyond the initial purchase—maintaining your aircraft in peak condition ensures safe flights and extends the lifespan of your investment. By choosing genuine FMS landing gear rather than aftermarket alternatives, you guarantee compatibility, build quality, and the confidence that comes with manufacturer-backed components. The Avanti V3 landing gear is easy to install, requiring only basic RC aircraft maintenance knowledge and standard hand tools.
Key Features
- 70mm Front Landing Gear Specification — This component is sized and engineered specifically for the FMS Avanti V3 airframe, ensuring precise fit and perfect weight distribution without compromising the aircraft's handling or aerodynamic characteristics during ground operations and flight transitions.
- Genuine FMS OEM Component — Manufactured by FMS Hobby to the exact specifications of the original equipment, this landing gear set guarantees compatibility with your Avanti V3 RC plane and delivers the same build quality and performance as the factory-installed version.
- Enhanced Aircraft Stability — Quality landing gear is essential for maintaining stable ground handling during takeoff and landing phases, and this component is engineered to provide reliable support and shock absorption for smooth, controlled runway operations.
- Easy Replacement Installation — Designed for straightforward installation without requiring specialised tools or extensive aircraft disassembly, making it suitable for RC aircraft owners who prefer to handle their own maintenance and upgrades.
- Durable Construction — Built to withstand the rigours of repeated takeoffs, landings, and taxiing operations whilst maintaining structural integrity and consistent performance across multiple flying seasons.
Technical Performance
The FMS Avanti V3 Front Landing Gear Set represents precision RC aircraft engineering. The 70mm dimension is the critical measurement that determines compatibility and integration with the Avanti V3 airframe geometry. This landing gear set is manufactured from durable materials selected for their ability to absorb landing impacts whilst maintaining dimensional stability and structural rigidity. The component supports the aircraft during all ground-based operations—taxiing, takeoff roll, and landing flare—distributing the aircraft's weight and inertial forces efficiently to minimise stress concentrations that could lead to premature wear or failure. The engineering of this gear set prioritises both weight efficiency and shock absorption, as landing gear must absorb vertical landing forces without transferring damaging impacts to the fuselage, wings, or control systems. For RC aircraft owners in the UK operating their Avanti V3 from grass airfields, tarmac runways, or prepared flying areas, reliable landing gear is essential infrastructure that directly impacts flight safety and aircraft longevity. The genuine FMS specification ensures that performance characteristics match the aerodynamic design intent of the aircraft.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this landing gear compatible with other FMS RC aircraft models? — This front landing gear set is engineered specifically for the FMS Avanti V3 and sized to the 70mm specification that matches this model's airframe geometry. It is not designed for other aircraft models, and attempting to use it on incompatible aircraft may compromise ground handling and flight safety. Always verify compatibility with your specific aircraft model before installation.
- How difficult is it to install the Avanti V3 landing gear? — Installation is straightforward for RC aircraft owners with basic maintenance experience. The component is designed for easy installation using standard hand tools and does not require disassembly of major airframe components. If you are new to RC aircraft maintenance, consult the FMS manual for detailed installation instructions, or contact experienced RC aircraft flyers for guidance.
- What should I do if my landing gear is damaged? — If your existing Avanti V3 landing gear has sustained damage from hard landings or taxiing incidents, replacement with a genuine FMS component is the recommended solution. This replacement gear set ensures you return your aircraft to manufacturer specifications and optimal performance. Attempting to repair damaged gear is rarely cost-effective and may compromise structural integrity.
- How often should landing gear be inspected or replaced? — Landing gear should be inspected before each flying session for visible damage, cracks, or looseness. With proper maintenance and operation on suitable surfaces, quality landing gear typically lasts many flying seasons. Replace the gear if you notice damage, excessive wear, or any deterioration that affects stability or shock absorption.
- Does this come as a complete set? — This purchase includes the front landing gear set for the Avanti V3. Depending on your aircraft's condition, you may also need to consider the main landing gear and other components separately if they require replacement.
- What is the return policy on this landing gear? — FMS offers a 30-day return policy for new and unused products purchased directly from authorised retailers like RC Model Shop. Items that are defective, damaged in shipping, or missing parts are covered. Electronic accessories carry a 90-day warranty from the delivery date, with access to official technician support.
