Overview
The FMS 64MM F-16 Main Landing Gear Set is a premium quality replacement landing gear component designed specifically for F-16 Fighting Falcon RC aircraft models. This authentic pairing includes both left and right main landing gear assemblies, making it an essential upgrade or replacement part for serious RC aeroplane enthusiasts across the UK. Whether you're restoring a damaged model, upgrading your current setup, or building a high-performance F-16 from scratch, this FMS landing gear set delivers the durability and precision engineering you expect from one of the world's leading RC aircraft manufacturers.
FMS has built a reputation for creating authentic, feature-rich RC aircraft that appeal to scale modellers and performance fliers alike. The 64mm landing gear diameter is specifically engineered to match the proportions and weight distribution of the F-16 airframe, ensuring realistic ground handling characteristics and reliable takeoff and landing performance. This is not a generic landing gear set — it is tailored precision equipment designed by engineers who understand the demands of RC flight.
Whether you operate your RC aircraft from grass airfields, paved runways, or rough terrain, a quality landing gear set is fundamental to your aircraft's longevity and flight safety. This FMS main landing gear set provides the support structure needed for repeated landings, taxiing, and ground operations, protecting your valuable airframe and allowing you to focus on enjoying your flying experience rather than worrying about component failure.
Key Features
- 64mm Wheel Diameter — The 64mm wheel size is precisely calibrated for F-16 scale models, providing optimal ground clearance, weight distribution, and authentic appearance whilst ensuring reliable performance across various landing surfaces throughout the UK.
- Left and Right Pairing — This set includes both main landing gear assemblies, eliminating the need to purchase multiple items separately and ensuring perfect matching for symmetrical, balanced aircraft handling during takeoff and landing operations.
- FMS Engineering Quality — Manufactured by FMS Hobby, a recognised leader in RC aircraft design and production, this landing gear reflects years of engineering expertise, materials science research, and real-world testing in demanding flight conditions.
- Direct Replacement Component — Designed as a main landing gear set for F-16 models, this part integrates seamlessly with compatible FMS airframes, simplifying the upgrade or replacement process without requiring extensive modifications or adaptations.
- Durable Construction — Built with materials selected to withstand the stresses of repeated landings, taxiing, and ground handling whilst maintaining structural integrity and smooth operation over extended use.
- Authentic Scale Appearance — The 64mm sizing and proportional design contribute to the authentic scale appearance of your F-16 model, enhancing the visual realism that appeals to serious scale modellers and competitive RC enthusiasts.
Technical Performance
The FMS 64MM F-16 Main Landing Gear Set represents a carefully engineered solution for F-16 RC aircraft owners who demand reliability and authenticity. The 64mm wheel diameter is not arbitrary — it is calculated to provide the correct ground clearance angle, weight distribution pattern, and visual scale proportion for accurate F-16 models. When you land your RC aeroplane, the landing gear experiences significant impact forces as the aircraft touches down, followed by rolling resistance during taxiing. The materials and design of this FMS set are engineered to absorb and distribute these forces effectively, protecting your airframe from damage whilst maintaining smooth, reliable operation. The pairing of left and right main gear ensures perfectly balanced ground handling — asymmetrical landing gear can cause the aircraft to veer or drift during takeoff and landing, creating safety issues and potentially damaging your model. With matched assemblies, your F-16 will perform predictably and safely on every flight operation. FMS has invested significant research into landing gear design for their aircraft range, understanding how wheel size, material composition, and structural rigidity affect overall flight performance and longevity. This is precision RC aircraft engineering, not a generic aftermarket component.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this landing gear suitable for beginners flying F-16 RC aircraft? — Yes, this FMS main landing gear set is an excellent choice for RC pilots of all experience levels. Whether you're just starting your RC aviation journey or you're an experienced scale modeller, reliable landing gear is essential for safe ground operations. If you're building or repairing an F-16 model, this genuine FMS component ensures your aircraft will have the dependable support it needs for takeoff and landing operations.
- Why should I buy a matched left and right landing gear pairing rather than individual components? — A matched pairing ensures perfectly symmetrical ground handling characteristics. If the left and right main gear assemblies have different materials, dimensions, or wear characteristics, your F-16 may veer or drift during takeoff and landing. This matched set eliminates that risk, providing balanced, predictable aircraft behaviour every time you fly.
- What aircraft models is this landing gear compatible with? — This 64mm main landing gear set is designed specifically for FMS F-16 Fighting Falcon RC aircraft models. Before purchasing, verify that your particular F-16 model specifies 64mm main landing gear compatibility. FMS produces several F-16 variants, so check your aircraft documentation or contact our expert team at RC Model Shop for compatibility confirmation.
- How often will I need to replace the landing gear? — Landing gear longevity depends on how frequently you fly, the surfaces you land on, and the care you take during ground operations. Regular grass or paved runway landings will extend gear life significantly compared to rough or debris-strewn surfaces. Over time, repeated impacts and rolling resistance will cause wear. When you notice reduced smoothness, cracks, or dimensional changes, replacement is recommended. This FMS main landing gear set ensures you have quality components ready when the time comes.
- Does this set include wheels and tyres? — This product is a main landing gear set, which includes the structural assemblies. Depending on your specific aircraft configuration and current setup, you may already have compatible wheels and tyres installed. Consult your FMS aircraft manual or contact RC Model Shop to confirm what additional components you may need.
