Technical Performance
The FMS Cessna 182 1500mm Supporting Struts represent a precision-engineered component designed to handle the specific demands of RC aeroplane operation. At 1500mm in length, these struts are optimised for the Cessna 182 airframe geometry and weight distribution characteristics. Supporting struts must withstand repeated landing impacts, ground taxi forces and the static weight of the aircraft when stationary. FMS engineers this component to absorb landing shock loads whilst maintaining structural rigidity, ensuring your aircraft remains stable during ground handling and ready for immediate flight operations. The material construction and design geometry have been developed through testing with the complete Cessna 182 RC aeroplane range, guaranteeing that these struts will perform reliably whether you are operating from grass fields, tarmac strips or other RC flying sites across the UK. The precise 1500mm measurement is critical for maintaining correct ground clearance and landing gear geometry, which directly affects your aircraft's stability during takeoff roll and landing touchdown. For serious RC aeroplane pilots who demand reliability and longevity from their equipment, these struts deliver the performance and durability that the hobby requires.

If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
