Since there are very 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 1:4.5 scale landing gear with 76 mm wheels are made of 4.0 mm GRP (black). All milled edges are finished so that these parts pose no risk of injury and have a very pleasant feel.

The steering knuckles are made of 4.0 mm high-strength aluminum (AW 7075 T6) and mirror-polished. In the FES version, these are 25 mm longer than on a standard landing gear.

A new feature is the mounting of the wheel drive servo: It is mounted on the rear side between the side panels, allowing the servo wings on the side to be omitted. A 10 mm wing servo with 10 kg/cm torque at high voltage is used. The mounting 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 1:4.5 scale fuselage. This is where the name SLIM-LINE comes from.

Weight-optimized and aesthetically pleasing design thanks to CNC-machined geometry. Due to the mechanical design, the wheel is securely locked in the extended or retracted position. Thus, the wheel cannot be extended by 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 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 kit consists of:
- the two side sections in 4.0 mm GRP / black
- the two wheel 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 76 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 guard
• Wheel push brake (the servo for operating the brake is mounted in front of the main frame and is pulled by a cord)
• Linkage with two M3 clevises and a CFRP tube over the M3 threaded rod

Weight: The landing gear weighs 276 grams in standard configuration and 335 grams in full configuration. We have deliberately accepted a few grams of additional weight in favor of a very stable and durable landing gear.

Note: In some pictures, the landing gear is shown in its fully equipped configuration. Please refer to the scope of delivery listed above.
