Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FMS 70MM front landing gear set compatible with my RC aircraft? — This landing gear set is specifically engineered for the FMS 70MM Super Viper electric RC aircraft. If you own a different FMS aircraft model or a non-FMS aircraft, please verify compatibility with the manufacturer or consult with RC Model Shop before purchasing, as landing gear dimensions and mounting specifications vary significantly between different aircraft models.
- What happens if I land my RC plane hard—will this landing gear survive? — The FMS landing gear is engineered to absorb the impact forces typical of RC aircraft landings, including firm touchdowns on grass and concrete surfaces. However, extremely hard landings (such as crash landings or significant collision impacts) may damage any landing gear. For this reason, many RC pilots keep spare landing gear components on hand, and this affordably priced set makes it practical to maintain spares in your flying kit.
- Do I need special tools to install this landing gear? — Installation requirements vary depending on your specific aircraft configuration. The landing gear set is designed for straightforward installation on the FMS 70MM Super Viper, but we recommend consulting the aircraft manual or contacting our team if you have questions about mounting and installation procedures before beginning work.
- How often will I need to replace my landing gear? — With regular flying and proper maintenance, a quality landing gear set like this one should provide many hours of reliable service. Replacement becomes necessary if you notice cracks, bending, or misalignment that affects takeoff or landing performance. Keeping spare components on hand ensures you're never grounded waiting for parts to arrive.
- Is this the correct landing gear size for my Super Viper? — Yes, the 70MM wheel diameter is the correct specification for the FMS 70MM Super Viper aircraft. Always verify you're ordering the correct component for your specific aircraft model, as FMS manufactures multiple landing gear sizes for different aircraft in their product range.
- What is the difference between front and rear landing gear sets? — Front landing gear (nose gear) and rear landing gear are positioned differently on the aircraft and have different structural requirements due to the forces they experience during flight operations. This is specifically a front landing gear set, so ensure you're ordering the correct position component for your aircraft repair or upgrade needs.
