Technical Performance
The FMS 80MM RAFALE MAIN LANDING GEAR SET FMSEG121 is engineered specifically for the 80mm Rafale platform, a popular electric-powered RC jet that delivers impressive speed and scale appearance in a manageable package. As the main landing gear assembly, this component must withstand repeated impact loads during landing, support the aircraft's weight during taxi operations, and maintain precise geometry for safe ground handling. FMS has designed this landing gear to work in harmony with the Rafale's airframe, delivering the structural integrity and performance characteristics that RC jet pilots depend upon. The main gear handles the majority of the aircraft's weight and absorbs the primary landing impact forces, making robust construction and reliable engineering absolutely essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this landing gear fit my FMS 80mm Rafale? — Yes, this is the authentic main landing gear set designed specifically for the FMS 80mm Rafale aircraft. It provides precise fitment and integrates seamlessly with your jet model without modification.
- When should I replace my RC aircraft landing gear? — You should consider replacing your landing gear when you notice visible damage, cracks, bending, or excessive wear that compromises the gear's structural integrity. Regular inspection after each flight helps identify components that need replacement before they cause landing problems.
- Is this a complete landing gear system or just a component? — This is the main landing gear set for the 80mm Rafale, serving as the primary weight-bearing gear assembly. If your aircraft requires front landing gear replacement, you would need the separate FMS 80mm Rafale Front Landing Gear Set (model FMSEG120), which is also available.
- What is the difference between main and front landing gear? — The main landing gear supports the majority of the aircraft's weight and absorbs most of the landing impact force, positioned under the fuselage. The front (nose) gear supports the nose section of the aircraft and helps control ground steering. Both assemblies are essential for safe ground operations, but they serve different functions.
- How do I install this landing gear on my Rafale? — Installation should follow the FMS Rafale assembly manual or instructions specific to your aircraft. We recommend consulting your aircraft documentation or contacting FMS support if you have questions about proper installation procedure.
- Is this suitable for beginners? — If you are new to RC jets and own an FMS 80mm Rafale, you may find landing gear replacement straightforward if you follow your aircraft manual carefully. However, if you are uncertain about any aspect of the installation, we recommend seeking guidance from experienced RC pilots or contacting FMS directly.
