Their attention to detail extends to every component, including landing gear systems.

- Battlefield Grey Finish — The authentic grey colour scheme matches real-world F-16 military aircraft, delivering authentic scale appearance that serious modellers demand for their display and flying models.
- 64mm Diameter Specification — Designed to fit FMS F-16 models with 64mm gear requirements, ensuring proper fitment, correct stance geometry, and optimal ground clearance for safe landings.
- Professional FMS Engineering — Manufactured by FMS Hobby, a globally recognised brand for quality RC aircraft components, meaning you're purchasing components engineered to professional standards with proven reliability in the field.
- Direct Replacement Compatibility — Works as a direct replacement for worn or damaged original FMS F-16 landing gear, or as an upgrade for models requiring landing gear replacement or repair.

Technical Performance
The FMS 64MM F-16 Main Landing Gear Set represents precision engineering in miniature, crafted to withstand the stresses of repeated takeoffs, landings, and ground handling operations. The 64mm diameter specification is calculated to provide the correct stance and ground clearance for FMS F-16 scale models, critical factors that affect both the aesthetic authenticity and practical flight characteristics of your model aircraft. Quality landing gear construction directly impacts your RC aircraft's performance: under-engineered gear flexes excessively, poor landings result, and the fuselage absorbs impact forces that should be distributed through properly-designed gear legs. FMS engineering eliminates these problems through rigid construction and materials selection appropriate for RC aircraft use. The Battlefield Grey colour finish is applied to completed gear components, ensuring colour consistency between left and right units and providing authentic visual appearance that matches the real-world F-16 fighter jet aesthetic. Whether you're flying at your local RC airfield or displaying your model as a scale replica, this landing gear delivers both functional reliability and authentic appearance that enhances the overall quality of your aircraft.
