The E-Flite F-EFLG510 retract set for 60–120 size aircraft is a precision-engineered electric gear upgrade designed to replicate the historical stance and geometry of warbirds like the P-47D Thunderbolt. Built for aircraft in the 8–15 lb range, this strut-ready system features an authentic 85-degree retraction angle, CNC-machined aluminum housing, and compatibility with 5 mm diameter scale struts. Whether you're restoring a Hangar 9 P-47D-1 Thunderbolt 60 ARF or assembling a custom 20cc-class sport plane, the E-Flite F-EFLG510 strut-ready main gear upgrade delivers scale realism, mechanical reliability, and installation simplicity without the complexity of pneumatic systems.
Key features of the E-Flite F-EFLG510 retract set
- 85-degree retraction angle – matches the unique gear sweep of aircraft like the P-47D Thunderbolt
- Strut-ready design – accepts 5 mm diameter custom or model-specific struts for enhanced realism
- CNC-machined aluminum housing – provides structural integrity for heavier aircraft and rough field conditions
- Steel/brass internal gearing – engineered for high-load durability and long-term performance
- Electric brushed motor with integrated PCB – simplifies setup and ensures consistent actuation
- Chrome-plated metal struts – resist corrosion and elevate scale appearance
- JR-style universal connectors – compatible with most RC receivers for plug-and-play installation
- Bolt-in mounting – no modification required for Hangar 9 20cc-class models
- Overcurrent protection – safeguards motor during stall or overload conditions
Why is the E-Flite F-EFLG510 retract set ideal for 20cc-class warbirds?
The E-Flite F-EFLG510 retract set for 60–120 size aircraft is tailored for models weighing between 8 and 15 lb, including .60–1.20 glow and equivalent electric-powered platforms. Its drop-in compatibility with Hangar 9 20cc-class aircraft ensures seamless integration without structural modification. The 85-degree retraction angle is specifically optimized for the P-47D Thunderbolt, delivering a historically accurate stance and gear geometry that enhances both realism and aerodynamic performance.
How does the 85-degree retraction angle improve scale fidelity?
The E-Flite F-EFLG510 85 degree electric gear replicates the distinctive gear sweep of aircraft like the P-47D, where the main gear retracts at a shallower angle than conventional warbirds. This geometry preserves the aircraft’s authentic ground stance and contributes to a cleaner fuselage profile during flight. For RC pilots focused on historical accuracy, this retraction angle is a critical detail that elevates the visual and functional realism of their build.
What makes the strut-ready design valuable for customization?
The E-Flite F-EFLG510 with chrome struts and CNC housing accepts 5 mm diameter struts, including model-specific options like the EFLG510P47. This flexibility allows pilots to tailor the gear’s appearance and stance to match their aircraft’s scale dimensions. Whether you're enhancing ground clearance or replicating a specific warbird profile, the strut-ready design supports individualized upgrades without compromising structural integrity or compatibility.
How does the actuation system simplify setup and improve reliability?
The E-Flite retracts with brushed motor and plug-in fit feature a self-contained electric motor with integrated PCB, eliminating the need for servos, linkages, or air tanks. This streamlined setup reduces installation time and maintenance while delivering consistent deployment speeds across a voltage range of 4.8V to 7.4V. With actuation times as fast as 0.8 seconds at higher voltages, the gear responds quickly and smoothly to pilot input, and built-in overcurrent protection ensures safe operation under stall conditions.
Why is this the best E-Flite retract system for scale realism and fast deployment?
The best E-Flite retracts with 0.8 sec deployment and universal connectors combine scale geometry, robust materials, and responsive actuation in one refined package. The CNC-machined aluminum housing and steel/brass internals are built to endure the demands of large aircraft, while the chrome-plated struts enhance visual appeal and resist corrosion. The plug-in JR connectors ensure compatibility across platforms, and the bolt-in mounting system simplifies installation. For RC pilots seeking a premium gear upgrade, the F-EFLG510 delivers unmatched realism and reliability.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm. Some highland and remote areas may carry an extra delivery charge as couriers often apply surcharges in these locations. If you live in one of these areas, feel free to contact us before ordering so we can confirm the delivery options and costs for you.
- Most of our products include delivery in the price. If your order is under £90, a small delivery fee will apply but do not worry this will always be clearly shown at checkout before you complete your purchase.

Orders are dispatched Monday to Friday only. Some items may take a little longer and if that is the case we will always show the expected delivery time on the product page.
- If your order includes items with different dispatch times we will normally wait and send everything together once all items are in stock. If one of the items is going to take a while we will give you the choice either wait for everything to arrive or let us send the available items now and deliver the rest later. It is up to you.
- We use trusted delivery partners to make sure your order gets to you safely and on time. We use DPD for next working day deliveries and Royal Mail for the 2 day option.
- As soon as your order is on its way we will send you a tracking number by email. If you provide your mobile number at checkout we will also send delivery updates straight to your phone so you can keep an eye on progress.
- If a product is marked as "Dispatched within 3 working days" delivery usually takes around 3 to 5 working days from when your order is placed.
- For customers in Inverness and other parts of the Scottish Highlands deliveries can take up to 2 working days even if you select next day delivery as couriers do not currently offer a guaranteed next day service to those areas.
