Why Choose This Carbon Fiber Tail Wheel for Your 100cc RC Aircraft?
🔹 Lightweight Yet Incredibly Strong
At only 55 grams, this carbon fiber tailwheel assembly significantly reduces tail-heavy tendencies while providing the strength needed for hard landings. The 3.5mm thick carbon fiber construction can withstand the forces generated by 100cc engines during takeoff, landing, and ground operations. This optimal strength-to-weight ratio means better aircraft performance and improved flight characteristics.
🔹 Perfect for Large Scale RC Aircraft
Specifically designed and tested for 100cc class aircraft including:
- Giant Scale Warbirds: P-47 Thunderbolt, F4U Corsair, Spitfire, P-51 Mustang, Zero
- Aerobatic Planes: Extra 330, Edge 540, Sbach 342, Yak 54, Sukhoi
- Scale Civilian Aircraft: Piper Cub, Stearman, PT-17, vintage trainers
- Sport and Trainer Aircraft: Any aircraft in the 100cc gasoline engine range
- Electric Conversions: High-powered electric setups requiring equivalent strength
🔹 Superior Ground Handling
The integrated rudder mount plate provides direct steering connection to your aircraft’s rudder servo, ensuring responsive ground control during taxiing. The pre-calibrated tension springs absorb landing shocks while maintaining proper tailwheel alignment, which reduces wear on your aircraft’s fuselage and prolongs the life of your model. Experience confident takeoffs and smooth landings on grass fields, dirt strips, or paved runways.
🔹 Professional Quality at an Affordable Price
At just £21.81, this complete tail wheel landing gear kit offers exceptional value compared to purchasing individual components separately. You receive professional-grade components that would typically cost significantly more when bought piece by piece. This competitive pricing makes upgrading to carbon fiber accessible for all RC enthusiasts.
🔹 UK Stock – Fast Shipping
Available immediately from our UK warehouse, this tailwheel assembly ships quickly throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. No long waits for overseas shipping or unexpected customs charges. Get your 100cc landing gear installed and get back in the air faster with our rapid dispatch service.
Easy Installation for Your RC Aircraft
This tail wheel landing gear set is designed for straightforward installation on most 100cc aircraft with standard tail dragger configurations. The comprehensive kit includes all necessary mounting hardware, eliminating extra trips to the hardware store and ensuring you have everything needed for a professional installation.
Installation Guide & Tips:
- The carbon fiber mount attaches securely to your aircraft’s tail post using the included heavy-duty steel bracket
- Position the rudder mount plate to ensure proper steering geometry – typically aligned with your rudder servo arm
- Adjust tension springs for your aircraft’s weight and typical landing surfaces (tighter for heavier aircraft, lighter for smooth runways)
- Use thread-locking compound (not included) on all bolts for secure, vibration-resistant installation
- The 190mm length provides proper ground clearance for most 100cc aircraft designs while maintaining low profile
- Pre-drilled mounting holes speed up installation and ensure accurate alignment
The aluminum hub and PU wheel combination arrives pre-assembled, reducing installation time and ensuring proper alignment from the start. Most experienced RC builders can complete installation in 30-45 minutes.
Maintenance Guide for Long-Lasting Performance
To maximize the lifespan of your carbon fiber tail wheel and maintain optimal performance throughout hundreds of flights:
Regular Maintenance Checklist:
- Clean After Every Flying Session: Remove grass clippings, dirt, and debris from the wheel, hub, and spring mechanisms
- Inspect Tension Springs: Check for proper tension and replace if stretched, corroded, or damaged
- Examine Mounting Hardware: Ensure all bolts remain properly tightened and show no signs of wear or stress
- Check Carbon Fiber Integrity: Inspect for any delamination, cracks, or damage after hard landings or rough field operations
- Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply light machine oil to the rudder mount pivot points and wheel bearings
- Wheel Condition: Monitor PU wheel for wear, cuts, or flat spots and replace when necessary
Proper maintenance of your tail wheel assembly ensures reliable performance throughout hundreds of flying hours and countless landings, protecting your investment in both the landing gear and your valuable aircraft.
