RC Airplane Nose Gear
Tricycle-gear models steer on the ground through the nose wheel, and this category collects RC airplane nose gear assemblies, wire, and struts for building or repairing that front leg. Most of the parts here are from Du-Bro and cover common sizes for trainers and sport models.
Steerable and Straight Nose Gear
Options include a 3-3/4 inch steerable bent nose gear and a 6-5/8 inch straight version with an un-bent axle, both fitted with 5/32 inch wire. A universal 5/32 nose gear wire is also offered on its own for custom setups, which lets a builder bend a leg to a specific length and shape.
Struts and Small-Field Kits
Nose gear struts are listed in 1/8 inch diameter lengths, and a 1/2A size steerable nose gear kit suits smaller aircraft. Matching the wire diameter and length to your model keeps the steering geometry correct, and a heavier wire resists bending on harder landings.
Compare the sizes here to find the nose gear that fits your airframe and steering setup.
