Key Features
- 80mm Wheel Diameter Specification — The 80mm size is specifically engineered to provide optimal ground clearance and load distribution for mid-sized RC aircraft, ensuring your plane sits at the correct angle on the runway and absorbs impact forces effectively during landing operations.
- FMS Manufacturer Quality — FMS brings decades of experience in producing RC aircraft components, meaning this landing gear system meets rigorous quality standards and delivers the durability expected from an established manufacturer in the hobby.
- Complete Main Gear Assembly — This is a full system rather than individual parts, so you receive all the components needed to fit a main landing gear configuration, reducing the complexity of sourcing multiple individual items separately.
- Red Colour Variant — The distinctive red finish not only looks professional but also aids in visibility during pre-flight checks and helps you track your aircraft's orientation during flight operations in outdoor conditions.
- Direct Replacement Component — Designed specifically for the FMS Futura aircraft range, this gear system serves as either a replacement for worn components or an upgrade for builders starting new builds with this popular RC aircraft model.
Technical Performance
The FMS 80MM FUTURA MAIN LANDING GEAR SYSTEM is engineered with the precision expected from quality RC aircraft components. The 80mm wheel diameter provides the ideal balance between ground clearance and structural strength for mid-sized RC aircraft, allowing your plane to clear obstacles and uneven terrain during takeoff and landing phases. The landing gear assembly is constructed to absorb the impact forces generated during landing, protecting both the landing gear itself and the airframe from damage. FMS's engineering ensures that the components work together seamlessly, with proper alignment and weight distribution across the gear assembly. The system's design reflects proven RC aircraft engineering principles, incorporating materials and manufacturing techniques that have been refined through extensive use by the RC flying community. The complete assembly approach means all components are matched and balanced from the factory, eliminating compatibility concerns that can arise when sourcing individual parts from different suppliers. For UK RC aircraft pilots, this represents a reliable solution that will support consistent flying performance across multiple flight sessions and seasons of regular use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What size aircraft is this landing gear system suitable for? — The 80mm wheel diameter specification makes this landing gear system ideal for mid-sized RC aircraft models. This size sits between smaller trainer aircraft and larger scale models, making it a popular choice for many RC aviation enthusiasts. The 80mm dimension provides adequate ground clearance whilst maintaining structural strength.
- Is this a complete landing gear solution or will I need additional parts? — This is a complete main landing gear system designed to provide everything needed for the main gear configuration. However, you should verify compatibility with your specific aircraft model and confirm that all mounting hardware and integration components are included or separately available.
- Can I use this landing gear system on different aircraft models? — This landing gear system is specifically engineered for the FMS Futura aircraft range. While the physical dimensions may allow it to fit other aircraft, it is optimised for the Futura and we recommend confirming compatibility with your specific aircraft before purchase to ensure proper fit and performance.
- What maintenance does this landing gear system require? — Like all RC aircraft landing gear, regular inspection is recommended before flight. Check for any damage or wear to the wheels and structural components, clean out any dirt or debris from outdoor flying sessions, and ensure all fasteners remain tight. Proper maintenance extends the service life of your landing gear system significantly.
- Is the red colour coating durable? — The red colour variant is finished to FMS's standard quality specifications. The finish is designed to withstand regular outdoor use and cleaning, though like any painted component, minor wear may occur over time with use. The colour's primary benefit is visibility during flight operations and pre-flight checks.
- How does this compare to other landing gear systems available? — FMS components are manufactured to exacting standards and represent good value within the RC aircraft hobby market. The advantage of choosing genuine FMS parts is that they are specifically engineered for the Futura aircraft range, ensuring perfect fit and alignment compared to generic aftermarket alternatives.
