Aftermarket or third-party landing gear can introduce fitment issues, alignment problems and potential safety concerns during landing operations. By choosing genuine FMS components, you receive parts engineered to the exact same specifications as your original equipment.
- Perfect Fitment for 750mm Edge 540 — Designed specifically for the 750mm wingspan variant of the Edge 540, this landing gear set ensures perfect alignment, proper ground clearance and optimal shock absorption characteristics. Using correctly sized landing gear prevents nose-over incidents, reduces wing strike risks and allows your aircraft to operate safely from various field surfaces.
- Ready to Install — This is a complete landing gear set ready for installation on your Edge 540. No modifications, adjustments or additional components are required, making replacement quick and straightforward. Whether you're replacing damaged gear or maintaining preventative spares, installation is hassle-free.
- Durable Construction — FMS landing gear sets are engineered to withstand the repeated stress and impact forces generated during takeoff and landing cycles. The robust construction ensures longevity across many flights whilst maintaining consistent performance and safety characteristics throughout its operational life.
- Cost-Effective Repair Solution — Rather than replacing your entire aircraft due to landing gear damage, this affordable spare part allows you to quickly restore your Edge 540 to flying condition. For RC enthusiasts who fly regularly, having replacement components on hand reduces downtime and keeps you in the air.
Technical Performance
The FMS EDGE 540 750MM Main Landing Gear Set represents thoughtful engineering for aerobatic RC aircraft operation. Landing gear for RC aeroplanes must balance several competing requirements: sufficient strength to withstand hard landings and side loads, lightweight construction to minimise the aircraft's weight and maintain optimal flight performance, proper geometry to ensure stable ground handling, and corrosion resistance for durability in UK weather conditions. FMS has engineered this gear set to meet all these demands, providing a purpose-built component that integrates seamlessly with your 750mm Edge 540. The design focuses on reliable performance across different landing surfaces — from smooth grass airfields to rougher terrain where RC aircraft enthusiasts often fly. The landing gear absorbs impact forces efficiently, protecting the aircraft structure and electronics from damage whilst allowing the pilot to execute confident landings even in challenging wind conditions. For UK-based RC pilots operating in variable weather, having reliable landing gear is paramount to maintaining consistent performance and aircraft longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is this landing gear compatible with all Edge 540 models? — This landing gear set is specifically designed for the 750mm wingspan variant of the FMS Edge 540. The Edge 540 is available in multiple wingspan configurations, and each requires different-sized components. Before purchasing, verify that your aircraft is the 750mm model to ensure perfect fitment. Using incorrectly sized landing gear can cause alignment issues and unsafe handling characteristics.
- How difficult is installation? — Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic RC aircraft maintenance experience. The landing gear set is engineered for direct fitment without modifications. Most pilots can complete installation in 30 minutes to an hour using standard tools. If you're unfamiliar with RC aircraft assembly, your local RC club or an experienced RC hobbyist can assist with installation.
- Why would I need a replacement landing gear set? — RC aircraft landing gear may require replacement after hard landings, crashes, corrosion from exposure, or normal wear from repeated takeoff and landing cycles. Some pilots maintain spare components to minimise downtime between flights. Whether for repair or preventative maintenance, having a replacement gear set on hand keeps you flying.
- What materials are used in the landing gear construction? — FMS manufactures this landing gear using durable materials selected for their strength-to-weight ratio and longevity. The exact material composition is optimised to provide reliable performance through multiple landing cycles whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for aerobatic RC flying.
- Can I use this on different weather conditions? — Yes, the landing gear is designed to operate across various UK weather conditions and field surfaces. The robust construction handles moisture exposure typical of UK flying conditions. After flying in wet conditions, simply clean and dry the gear set to prevent corrosion and maintain optimal performance.
