Overview
The FMS EDGE 540 750MM Rear Landing Gear Set is an essential replacement and upgrade component for RC aeroplane enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability and precision in their aerial models. This rear landing gear assembly is specifically engineered for the 750mm FMS Edge 540 aircraft, delivering the structural integrity and smooth operation necessary for consistent, safe landings on grass strips, airfields and concrete surfaces. Whether you're a seasoned RC pilot looking for spare parts, a competitive aerobatic flyer needing backup components, or someone building a complete 750mm Edge 540 from scratch, this landing gear set represents genuine FMS engineering designed to withstand the demands of high-performance RC flying.
The Edge 540 is renowned in the RC aeroplane community for its exceptional aerobatic capabilities, and the landing gear is a critical component that must perform flawlessly every time. The rear landing gear set from FMS has been developed with the same attention to detail and quality standards that characterise the complete aircraft. This is not a generic universal landing gear—it's specifically matched to the 750mm Edge 540's weight distribution, fuselage geometry, and flight characteristics, ensuring optimal ground handling, shock absorption, and durability through repeated takeoffs and landings.
For RC aeroplane enthusiasts in the UK seeking authentic FMS components with manufacturer backing, this rear landing gear set offers peace of mind and genuine performance. The straightforward installation process means you can have your aircraft ready to fly again quickly, whether you're replacing worn components or maintaining a spare aircraft setup.

Technical Performance
The FMS EDGE 540 750MM Rear Landing Gear Set represents precision engineering optimised for the demanding environment of RC aeroplane flight. Landing gear performance is absolutely critical to an aircraft's operational safety and longevity—it must absorb significant vertical and lateral forces during touchdown, maintain structural integrity through hundreds of cycles, and provide stable ground handling characteristics for taxiing and manoeuvring on the runway. The rear landing gear assembly on any aeroplane works in concert with the nose gear to distribute the aircraft's weight, absorb landing impact energy, and allow smooth ground operations. This FMS-engineered rear gear is designed with the correct geometry and shock characteristics for the 750mm Edge 540's specific weight class and centre of gravity, ensuring that landing forces are distributed and absorbed evenly across the main and nose gear to prevent shimmy, bounce, or directional instability during ground operations. The materials and construction methods employed reflect FMS's understanding of what real RC pilots require: components that perform flawlessly session after session, withstand the occasional hard landing without damage, and maintain their characteristics over the lifetime of the aircraft. Whether you're operating from grass fields, asphalt runways, or rough airstrip surfaces, this landing gear provides the structural support and damping characteristics needed for safe, reliable aeroplane operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the FMS EDGE 540 750MM Rear Landing Gear Set compatible with other aircraft? — No, this landing gear is specifically engineered for the 750mm FMS Edge 540 aircraft. Landing gear geometry is precise and aircraft-specific, so using it on other airframes could result in improper weight distribution, handling problems, or structural damage. Always use landing gear matched to your specific aircraft model.
- What makes genuine FMS landing gear better than generic alternatives? — Genuine FMS landing gear is engineered specifically for the 750mm Edge 540's weight distribution, fuselage geometry, and flight characteristics. Generic universal landing gear may fit mechanically but won't provide the optimal shock absorption and handling characteristics that your aircraft was designed around. Using genuine components ensures your aircraft performs exactly as FMS engineered it.
- How often will I need to replace my landing gear? — Landing gear lifespan depends heavily on how you operate your aircraft and the surfaces you land on. Pilots who fly regularly on grass strips may need replacement more frequently than those flying from smooth runways. Most RC aeroplane pilots keep a spare set on hand for backup, and should inspect their gear regularly for any signs of damage or wear. If you notice the aircraft bouncing excessively on landing, shimmy problems, or visible damage to the gear structure, it's time to replace it.
- What should I do if my landing gear is damaged? — Minor damage may sometimes be repairable, but significant cracks, bends, or deformations to the landing gear assembly compromise the structural integrity needed for safe flight operations. It's best to replace damaged gear with this genuine FMS rear landing gear set to restore your aircraft to its original performance and safety specifications.
- Is this a complete landing gear system or just the rear component? — This is the rear landing gear set specifically. The Edge 540 also requires a nose landing gear assembly. If you're building a complete aircraft or need to replace the entire gear system, you'll want to source the matching nose gear as well to ensure all components are properly matched and work together as FMS designed them.
- Can I install this landing gear myself? — Installation difficulty depends on whether the gear mounts directly to your fuselage and the design of your aircraft's landing gear bay. FMS provides installation documentation with their aircraft kits, and many experienced RC pilots handle gear installation and replacement themselves. If you're uncomfortable with any aspect of the installation, our team at RC Model Shop can provide technical guidance.
