Since there are few landing gear sets available on the market for this scale, we took on the challenge and designed a lightweight yet sturdy retractable landing gear.

The side panels of the 1:3.5 scale landing gear with 100mm wheels are made of 4.0 mm GRP (black). All milled edges are finished so that these parts pose no risk of injury and feel very smooth to the touch.

The steering knuckles are made of 4.0 mm high-strength aluminum (AW 7075 T6) and mirror-polished.

A new feature is the mounting of the wheel drive servo: It is mounted on the rear side between the side panels, eliminating the need for servo wings on the sides. A 10 mm wing servo with 10 kg/cm torque at high voltage is used. The threaded holes for M2 screws are formed as brass inserts pressed into the GRP.

Thanks to this design, the landing gear is very narrow and fits easily into any 1:3.5 scale fuselage. This is where the name SLIM-LINE comes from.

Weight-optimized and aesthetically pleasing design thanks to CNC-machined geometry. Due to its mechanical design, the wheel is securely locked in the extended or retracted position. This prevents the wheel from extending due to centrifugal forces, for example during a loop.

- Mounting in the glider is secured between two frames or at the rear together with the rubber swing mount

- The landing gear is locked in place at the front with a cross brace in the main frame

- The installation height of the single-wheel landing gear in the fuselage is adjustable

- The moving parts are mounted in brass bushings

The basic configuration consists of:

- the two side sections in 4.0 mm GRP / black

- The two wheel swing arms in 4.0 mm high-strength aluminum

- The required spacer bolts

- Servo mount for a 10 mm wing servo with M2 lock nuts and the appropriate screws

- the swivel mechanism, including drive lever

- the required stainless steel screws

- 1 foam rubber wheel, 100 mm, with aluminum rim, 6.0 mm wheel axle, and ball bearings

All landing gear sets have a modular design and can therefore be customized.

The following optional accessories are available for the landing gear:

Wheel cover

Wheel bracket

Wheel shoe brake (the servo for operating the brake is mounted in front of the main spar and is pulled via a cord)

Linkage with 2 x M3 clevises and a CFRP tube over the M3 threaded rod

Rubber suspension with two D15 mm rubber bushings and M4 lock nuts

Weight: The landing gear weighs 314 grams in the standard configuration (without servo) and 384 grams in the full configuration (without servo). We have deliberately accepted a few extra grams of weight in favor of a very stable and durable landing gear.
