Key features of the E-Flite F-EFLG750 tail retract

• 90° retraction geometry – mimics the full-scale P-51 Mustang’s tail gear behavior
• Aircraft-specific fit – designed for Hangar 9 P-51D Mustang 50–60cc ARF with no modification required
• CNC-machined metal housing – engineered for high-impact durability and rough field resilience
• Electric brushed motor with integrated PCB – simplifies setup and ensures consistent actuation
• JR-style universal connector – compatible with most RC receivers for plug-and-play installation
• Overcurrent protection – safeguards motor during stall or obstruction
• Bolt-in mounting – restores gear function without altering airframe structure

Why is the E-Flite F-EFLG750 ideal for scale warbird builds?

The E-Flite F-EFLG750 tail retract for 50–60cc warbirds is purpose-built to replicate the tail gear geometry of the legendary P-51 Mustang. Its 90° upward retraction preserves the aircraft’s aerodynamic profile and enhances realism during taxiing, takeoff, and flight. With a bolt-in design tailored for Hangar 9’s 50–60cc ARF platform, this unit integrates seamlessly into the airframe, eliminating the need for structural modification.

How does the CNC housing improve reliability?

The E-Flite F-EFLG750 with CNC housing and plug-in fit features a precision-machined aluminum body reinforced with steel and brass internals. This construction is built to withstand repeated landings and rough field conditions, making it ideal for heavier gas-powered aircraft. The housing’s rigidity ensures long-term mechanical integrity, while the bolt-in mounting system provides secure installation.

What makes the electric actuation system efficient and safe?

The E-Flite tail gear with brushed motor and scale rotation uses a motor-driven mechanism with an integrated PCB, eliminating the need for servos or pneumatic systems. This self-contained setup simplifies installation and reduces maintenance, while delivering smooth deployment in approximately 2.5–3.5 seconds depending on voltage. Built-in overcurrent protection prevents motor damage during stall or obstruction, adding a layer of safety and reliability.

Why is this the best E-Flite tail retract for realism and performance?

The best E-Flite retract with 3.5 sec deployment and universal connectors combines scale geometry, robust materials, and plug-and-play simplicity in one refined package. Its compatibility with Hangar 9 P-51D and similar gas-powered aircraft ensures broad application, while the brushed motor system delivers dependable performance. For RC pilots seeking a premium tail gear upgrade that enhances realism and flight readiness, the F-EFLG750 is the definitive solution.

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.
