Key Features
- 90MM Dimension Specification — The 90MM measurement ensures perfect compatibility with FMS Avanti aircraft models and other similarly-sized RC aircraft, providing a precise fit that eliminates wobbling or misalignment during ground operations and flight transitions.
- Professional Landing Gear Engineering — FMS has designed this front landing gear system to withstand the stresses of repeated takeoffs and landings, ensuring your aircraft can perform realistic flight operations without compromising structural integrity or requiring frequent component replacement.
- Authentic Flight Simulation — Having a dedicated front landing gear system allows your RC aircraft to perform proper three-point landings and takeoffs, dramatically enhancing the realism and enjoyment of your RC flying experience compared to hand-launch alternatives.
- Reliable Ground Operations — The system provides stable support during taxiing, preventing tip-overs and allowing smooth ground movement, which is essential for pilots who want their RC aircraft to perform like full-scale aircraft during field operations.
- Durable Construction — FMS components are manufactured to exacting standards using quality materials that resist wear and fatigue, meaning your landing gear system will maintain its performance characteristics through many flying seasons.
- Easy Installation — Designed as a direct fit for Avanti models, installation is straightforward for builders who are familiar with RC aircraft assembly, allowing you to get your aircraft airborne quickly without complex modifications.
Technical Performance
The FMS 90MM Avanti Front Landing Gear System represents professional-grade engineering specifically tailored for scale RC aircraft operations. This component is manufactured using quality materials selected for their combination of strength and lightweight characteristics, which are essential considerations in aircraft design where every gram matters. The 90MM specification reflects FMS's precision approach to component design, ensuring compatibility with the Avanti airframe and related models. The landing gear system is engineered to distribute landing loads effectively across the airframe, protecting your aircraft investment during the critical moments of touchdown and ground operations. For RC aircraft enthusiasts in the UK who demand authentic flying experiences, this system bridges the gap between casual hand-launch flying and serious scale aircraft operation. The gear's construction allows for smooth deployment and reliable performance across varying field conditions, making it suitable for grass strips, tarmac surfaces, and prepared landing areas. FMS's reputation in the RC aircraft industry is built on exactly this kind of precision engineering—components that perform consistently and reliably, session after session.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this landing gear system compatible with my FMS Avanti aircraft? — Yes, the FMS 90MM Avanti Front Landing Gear System FMSEV115 is specifically designed for the FMS Avanti aircraft series. The 90MM specification ensures perfect fit and alignment with your airframe. Always verify your exact model before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific aircraft variant.
- What is the difference between a front landing gear and a complete landing gear system? — This product is specifically the front landing gear component. A complete landing gear system typically includes both main (rear) and front gear. For full aircraft landing capability, you may need additional main landing gear components depending on your Avanti configuration, so review your aircraft's assembly requirements.
- How durable is the FMS landing gear system for regular flying? — FMS manufactures components to withstand repeated use across full flying seasons. The landing gear is engineered with materials and construction methods that resist fatigue and wear. Proper installation and routine inspection will ensure your landing gear performs reliably for many flights. Like all mechanical components, periodic maintenance checks are recommended.
- Do I need special tools to install this landing gear system? — FMS landing gear systems are designed for standard RC aircraft builders. You'll need basic RC aircraft assembly tools—typically hex wrenches, screwdrivers, and potentially thread-locking compound. The instruction documentation provided with the system will specify exactly what's needed and guide you through the installation process step-by-step.
- Can this landing gear system be used on aircraft other than the Avanti? — While this is specifically designed and tested for the FMS Avanti, some RC pilots may adapt it to similar-sized aircraft. However, FMS only guarantees performance and fit on Avanti models. Always verify dimensional compatibility before attempting to use components on non-specified aircraft.
- What should I do if the landing gear makes noise during operation? — Minor squeaking or creaking is often normal as components settle, but excessive noise may indicate loose fasteners or improper installation. Review your installation against the included instructions, ensure all bolts are properly tightened using thread-locker where specified, and verify that the gear moves freely without binding or rubbing against the airframe.
