The E-Flite F-EFLG230 retract set for 15–25 size aircraft is a plug-and-play electric gear system engineered for sport planes, warbirds, and custom builds in the 4–7 lb class. Designed to deliver scale realism, mechanical reliability, and installation ease, this tricycle configuration includes two main gear units and one steerable nose gear—perfect for aircraft like the T-28 Trojan, P-47 Thunderbolt, or any custom sport build requiring realistic ground handling and clean in-flight profiles. With fast deployment speeds, reinforced metal struts, and integrated overcurrent protection, the E-Flite F-EFLG230 tricycle electric gear system offers a complete landing gear solution for intermediate to advanced RC pilots.
Key features of the E-Flite F-EFLG230 retract set for 15–25 size aircraft
- Tricycle configuration – includes two main gear units and one steerable nose gear
- Electric brushed motor – integrated with micro PCB for self-contained actuation
- Fast actuation – deploys in 0.75 to 1.25 seconds depending on voltage
- Plug-and-play fit – bolt-in installation with universal connectors and included Y-harness
- Metal struts – reinforced for durability and repeated landings
- Overcurrent protection – prevents motor damage during stall or overload
- Steerable nose wheel – improves ground handling and taxiing control
Why is plug-and-play installation ideal for sport and scale aircraft?
The E-Flite F-EFLG230 with metal struts and plug-and-play fit eliminates the complexity of pneumatic systems and custom servo setups. With bolt-in mounts and universal JR connectors, installation is straightforward—just plug into your receiver and fly. The included Y-harness allows all three retracts to operate from a single channel, simplifying setup and reducing wiring clutter. This makes the gear system ideal for pilots who want scale realism without the hassle of traditional retract mechanisms.
How does the electric motor system enhance reliability?
The E-Flite retracts with brushed motor and overcurrent protection feature a self-contained actuation system that integrates a brushed motor with a micro PCB. This design ensures consistent gear deployment and retraction, while built-in overcurrent protection safeguards the motor from damage during stall conditions. The result is a reliable, low-maintenance gear system that performs smoothly across a wide voltage range (4.8V–7.4V), adapting to your aircraft’s power setup.
What makes the tricycle configuration beneficial for ground handling?
The E-Flite gear set with steerable nose wheel and Y-harness provides realistic ground handling and improved taxiing control. The steerable nose gear enhances directional stability during takeoff and landing, while the tricycle layout ensures balanced weight distribution. This configuration is especially useful for sport planes and trainers, where predictable ground behavior contributes to safer and more confident flying.
Why is this the best E-Flite retract system for mid-size aircraft?
The best E-Flite retracts with 0.75 sec deployment and universal connectors combine speed, simplicity, and scale realism in one compact package. With actuation speeds as fast as 0.75 seconds at 7.4V, the gear responds quickly to pilot input, enhancing control during critical flight phases. The universal connector type ensures compatibility with most receivers, and the bolt-in design fits seamlessly into 15–25 size aircraft without modification. Whether you're upgrading a warbird or building a custom sport model, this retract set delivers performance and ease of use.
Why is the E-Flite F-EFLG230 retract set a smart upgrade?
For RC pilots seeking a durable, responsive, and scale-accurate landing gear solution, the affordable E-Flite gear upgrade with bolt-in install and scale realism offers exceptional value. Its metal struts withstand rough field conditions, while the electric motor system ensures smooth operation without external control boards. With fast deployment, steerable nose gear, and plug-and-play compatibility, the E-Flite F-EFLG230 retract set enhances both the look and function of your aircraft.
