Overview
The FMS E-RETRACT FMSREX064 is a professional-grade electronic retract system designed specifically for the 90mm Super Scorpion V2 and 90mm Avanti front landing gear configurations. This retractable landing gear system brings realistic functionality to scale RC aircraft, enabling smooth and reliable gear deployment and retraction during flight operations. Whether you're a serious RC aircraft enthusiast in the UK looking to upgrade your flying experience or a modeller seeking authentic scale functionality, the FMS E-RETRACT system delivers the precision engineering and reliability that modern RC aviation demands.
Built by FMS Hobby, a recognised leader in RC aircraft systems and accessories, this e-retract unit represents the pinnacle of landing gear technology for medium-scale electric aircraft. The system is engineered to provide consistent performance across multiple flight cycles, making it an essential upgrade for pilots who demand both realism and dependability in their RC models. The compact design ensures compatibility with the 90mm landing gear footprint, whilst maintaining the structural integrity required for safe landings and takeoffs.
For RC aircraft builders and enthusiasts across the UK, the FMS E-RETRACT FMSREX064 offers a straightforward path to adding motorised landing gear to their flying models. This is not merely a cosmetic upgrade—the retract system fundamentally improves the aerodynamic profile of your aircraft by allowing the landing gear to be stowed during flight, resulting in reduced drag and improved performance. It's an ideal choice for scale pilots who want authentic functionality without the complexity of custom-built systems.
Key Features
- Dual Compatibility Design — This e-retract system is engineered to work seamlessly with both the 90mm Super Scorpion V2 and 90mm Avanti front landing gear configurations, giving you flexibility in model selection and making this a versatile accessory for serious RC aircraft builders.
- Electronic Actuation — The motorised retraction system provides reliable, repeatable gear deployment and retraction at the flick of a switch, eliminating the need for manual gear extension and enabling authentic scale flight operations with proper gear-up and gear-down procedures.
- Compact Integration — Designed to integrate cleanly with 90mm scale landing gear, the e-retract maintains a low profile within the fuselage or wheel bay, preserving the aesthetic integrity of your scale model whilst adding functional complexity.
- FMS Engineering Quality — Manufactured by FMS Hobby, a company renowned throughout the RC hobby community for producing reliable, well-engineered aircraft systems, this retract benefits from proven design and rigorous testing protocols.
- Simplified Installation — The system is purpose-built for the specific landing gear dimensions, streamlining the installation process and reducing compatibility headaches compared to generic or custom retract solutions.
Technical Performance
The FMS E-RETRACT FMSREX064 represents sophisticated engineering applied to the specific challenge of motorised landing gear retraction in scale RC aircraft. The system has been engineered to work with the 90mm Super Scorpion V2 and 90mm Avanti landing gear platforms, which are popular choices for electric-powered scale aircraft in the 1.5kg to 3kg operating weight range. The electronic actuation mechanism is designed to cycle smoothly under normal operating conditions, providing both the extension cycle needed for landing approach and the retraction cycle required during cruise flight. Build quality reflects FMS Hobby's commitment to durability, with components engineered to withstand the repeated stress cycles inherent in motorised gear systems. The compact footprint ensures that installation does not require significant fuselage redesign, whilst the mechanical linkage design is optimised for the specific geometry of the compatible landing gear configurations. The system integrates with standard RC receiver outputs, making it compatible with any modern radio control system that provides spare channels for gear operation. Performance is characterised by reliable, repeatable operation across temperature ranges typical of recreational flying in the UK climate, with engineering that prioritises longevity and consistent functionality over extended periods of use.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FMS E-RETRACT FMSREX064 suitable for beginners to RC aircraft? — Whilst this is a high-quality component, e-retract systems are typically chosen by intermediate to advanced RC aircraft builders who are comfortable with avionics integration and fuselage modification. Beginners may prefer fixed landing gear solutions initially, but this system becomes relevant as flying skills and aircraft complexity increase.
- Which landing gear models does this e-retract work with? — The FMSREX064 is specifically designed for the 90mm Super Scorpion V2 and 90mm Avanti front landing gear configurations. These dimensions are critical to ensuring proper fit and operation, so compatibility is limited to these specific products.
- What radio system do I need to operate the e-retract? — The e-retract connects to a standard RC receiver servo channel, so it is compatible with any modern RC radio control system that has spare channels available. Most modern multi-channel radio systems used in the UK hobby will have sufficient channels to accommodate gear retraction control alongside flight control surfaces.
- How is the e-retract powered? — The system draws power from your aircraft's flight battery through the receiver, making installation straightforward once you have identified an available receiver channel for gear control.
- What is the warranty coverage? — FMS electronic accessories benefit from a 90-day warranty from the date of delivery, with access to long-term official technician support for technical questions and troubleshooting.
