Technical Performance
The FMS FUTURA V2 MAIN LANDING GEAR SET represents careful engineering focused on the specific demands of RC aeroplane operations. At 80mm, this landing gear is proportioned to provide stable, predictable ground handling characteristics that allow pilots to execute smooth takeoffs and landings consistently. The design considers weight distribution, ground clearance, and shock absorption properties essential for aircraft that operate across varying terrain and landing conditions. FMS has engineered this component to handle the repetitive stresses of regular flight operations, from soft-field landings to more challenging ground surfaces. The gear assembly works in harmony with the Futura airframe to maintain proper aircraft attitude during ground roll, which is critical for preventing prop strikes and ensuring longevity of the airframe structure. Built to OEM specifications, this landing gear set integrates seamlessly with your Futura V2 or V3, maintaining the aircraft's original performance envelope and handling characteristics that pilots have come to expect from these proven designs.
