Scale Landing Gear

Landing gear does more than hold a model off the ground; on a scale subject the shape and stance of the undercarriage are a big part of how convincingly the airplane captures the full-size design. This category covers scale landing gear for specific model subjects.

Flair Tiger Moth Undercarriage

The listing here is the Flair Tiger Moth 1/4 scale undercarriage kit, matched to that particular scale subject. A subject-specific gear kit takes the guesswork out of getting the geometry and proportions right for the airplane it is designed around, which is one of the harder details to judge by eye on a vintage biplane like the Tiger Moth.

Landing gear also takes the shock of every touchdown, so a kit intended for the model tends to place the legs and axle where the airframe expects the load. When fitting scale gear, it helps to check how the mounting points line up with your airframe so the finished stance sits true.

Review the landing gear listing above for the current option.
