The E-Flite F-EFLG520 retract set for 60–120 size aircraft is a premium electric gear upgrade engineered for RC pilots who demand scale realism, mechanical strength, and installation simplicity in large warbird and sport plane builds. Designed to replicate the complex retraction geometry of full-scale aircraft, the E-Flite F-EFLG520 95 degree rotating gear features a 95° sweep combined with 90° rotation, allowing the gear to retract flat into the wing for aerodynamic efficiency and visual fidelity. Whether you're assembling a P-47 Thunderbolt, restoring an F4U Corsair, or refining a custom sport aircraft, this system delivers precision, durability, and drop-in compatibility for aircraft up to 15 lb.
Key features of the E-Flite F-EFLG520 retract set
- 95° retraction sweep + 90° rotation – replicates complex full-scale warbird gear geometry
- Strut-ready design – accepts 5 mm diameter custom or scale struts for enhanced realism
- CNC-machined aluminum housing – built to handle high landing loads and rough field conditions
- Steel/brass internal gearing – engineered for long-term durability and structural integrity
- 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 and other large-scale ARFs
- Overcurrent protection – safeguards motor during stall or overload conditions
Why is the E-Flite F-EFLG520 retract set ideal for complex warbird builds?
The E-Flite F-EFLG520 retract set for 60–120 size aircraft is optimized for models that require intricate gear behavior, such as the Corsair and Thunderbolt. Its 95° retraction sweep combined with 90° rotation allows the gear to fold inward and lie flat within the wing, mirroring the geometry of full-scale aircraft. This configuration not only enhances aerodynamic performance but also delivers unmatched scale realism, making it a top-tier choice for experienced RC pilots building historically accurate warbirds.
How does the strut-ready design support customization?
The E-Flite F-EFLG520 with chrome struts and CNC housing accepts 5 mm diameter struts, enabling pilots to install custom or scale-specific components that match their aircraft’s stance and structural needs. This flexibility is especially valuable for builders focused on visual fidelity and ground clearance. Whether you're replicating the gear profile of a Corsair or tailoring a sport plane’s landing geometry, the strut-ready design supports individualized upgrades without compromising compatibility or strength.
What makes the actuation system reliable and easy to install?
The E-Flite retracts with brushed motor and scale sweep feature a self-contained electric motor with integrated PCB, eliminating the need for servos, linkages, or pneumatic systems. This streamlined setup reduces installation time and maintenance while delivering consistent deployment speeds across a voltage range of 4.8V to 6.0V. With actuation times averaging 2.5 seconds, the gear responds smoothly to pilot input, and built-in overcurrent protection ensures safe operation under stall conditions, extending the life of the motor and internal components.
Why is this the best E-Flite retract system for scale realism and aerodynamic efficiency?
The best E-Flite retracts with 2.5 sec deployment and universal connectors combine advanced retraction geometry, robust materials, and responsive actuation in one refined package. The CNC-machined aluminum housing and steel/brass internals are engineered to withstand the rigors of large aircraft operation, while the chrome-plated struts enhance visual appeal and resist corrosion. The plug-in JR connectors ensure broad compatibility, and the bolt-in mounting system simplifies integration into Hangar 9 and other large-scale ARFs. For RC pilots seeking a high-performance gear upgrade, the F-EFLG520 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.
- Depending on what you choose at checkout, your order will usually be delivered either the next working day or within 2 working days. For next day delivery please place your order before 2:00pm. 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.
