Why choose the EFLG510109 strut set?
Crafted to replicate the original gear geometry of the Bf 109, this set delivers precise fitment and structural integrity, allowing your model to maintain scale authenticity and reliable operation. Whether you’re fixing damage from a hard landing or performing a maintenance upgrade, the EFLG510109 ensures your aircraft lands cleanly and looks accurate on the deck.
What’s included?

- Clear instructions for removal of the old struts and fitting of the new set
Accuracy and fit
Designed for the Hangar 9 Messerschmitt Bf 109F-2 (60) model, these struts honor the original design and load-bearing paths. Hobbyists report the fit is "factory-exact," requiring little to no adjustment during installation.
Strength and durability
Built from robust materials, the struts withstand the stress of repeated landings. Owners highlight that “these parts reinforce the gear mounting,” sustaining rough use and more aggressive flying styles.
Superior to generic struts
Mass-market alternatives often lack the precise geometry and strength needed for scale models like the Bf 109. This E-flite set offers correct wheel alignment, consistent load distribution, and an authentic look—without compromise.
