⚠ Sizing & Selection Note: The first measurement is the axle-shaft diameter and the second measurement is the overall shaft length. Check your wheel hub bore, landing gear mounting hole size, and required usable axle length before selecting a size. Note that thread dimensions are not currently specified; please select based on the listed shaft diameter and length metrics.

Key Features

  • Durable Spring Steel: Zinc-plated spring steel construction provides excellent resistance to bending or shearing on hard landing impacts.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Zinc-plated finish helps protect raw steel surfaces from wet flight line grass, fuel spray, and moisture.
  • Nylon-Insert Lock Nuts: Supplied with two matching nylon lock nuts that resist backing loose under continuous engine and airframe vibrations.
  • Dural Landing Gear Ready: Threaded base design mounts flat and tight against standard aluminum, composite, or fiberglass dural main struts.
  • Two-Piece Package: Shipped as a complete pair to completely refresh your main left and right landing gear hardware tracks from a single card.

💡 Modeler’s Installation Guide

  • Insert the threaded base end of the axle through your landing gear strut hole and snug down the included nylon lock nut.
  • Slide your wheel hub onto the smooth axle shaft, following up with a matching wheel collar to retain it.
  • Leave a tiny clearance gap between your hardware and the wheel hub face so the wheel rotates cleanly without friction.
  • Always apply a small drop of medium-strength thread locker to any metal-to-metal fasteners during your final structural tracking checks.
