Yeah I'd say it's too much unless you could somehow mount 4 of them. you also have to consider when your landing you will put more than 2.5kg on them unless your awesome and can land smooth and gentle all the time. I use 4 of them with 1.5kg weight and so far so good.
If I make these warm with a blow torch, will the plastic bend or will it melt to easy?
I need to change how the mounting holes fit as i want to fit these on my electric shock
If you regulate the distance and heat intensity yes you can bend it to your desire, when you get to that angle, dip in a bucket of water to keep that angle and cool down the item.
You will need the "Steel Wheel Axle". Then attach the wheels. Look this (remove the 2 spaces on the link): ***********hobby king****/hobby king/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=23903
it can work on anything if you can place it well. but have in mind that these legs arent very light so I wouldnt recommend for model under 1kg and it need to be screwed on balsa wood for example (it would rip from foam)
There are dimples on the feet area where you can drill holes depending on the size of the axle you have. The horizontal placement would depend on the condition of the mounting surface where you will mount the upper part. Without load it will bend down like a VW Beetle's rear suspension, but with load it will level down horizontally, of course depending on the weight of your plane :-) And btw these are very strong. Happy Flying!
After I looked at the landing gear again I noticed it fastens to the bottom of the wing and not on the side of the plane which would then have where the axles go be in the proper orientation. Thank you for the reply.
The effective height is 100mm. The vertical distance from the bottom fuselage mounting plate to the axle shafts fitted after drilling is 100mm after the gear has been mounted in position. So add 100 to half the diameter of your wheels and you will have the precise height of the bottom of your fuselage above the ground when the aircraft is level.
* Rolf Junior These are the same landing gear that come on our 1m balsa katana's with a AUW of 1000-1100grams they work great, deffinetly strong enough for 1kg plane's, They do break on heavy landing's but so do carbon fiber landing gear, It's better for the gear to break away rather than the bottom of your fuselage, think about it what would you rather replace a $1.39 set of landing gear or fix the fuselage mount when it gets torn out of the fuselage, They only break on heavy landings

4 thumbs up!
These are definitely strong gear and will likely outlive quite a few models before you retire them. In fact, you may never retire them because they are that strong. Unfortunately, that strength comes with a downside and that's weight. These guys are 12 grams for each leg or 24 grams total. And that's without wheels or any type of mounting fastner. Also of note is that these gear don't come with any supplied hardware - just the two black legs. I'm not saying to avoid them I just don't think they're appropriate for smaller 150 gram craft.

today i installed these on my cleverboy electric plane, any of you lucky enough to have one of these planes will know that the stock landing gear is rubbish, i have flown this plane for over a year and i kept buying the same horrible gear, but then i found these, they look alot nicer, there hell of alot stronger and not much of a difference in weight, if you want a pair of landing gear that looks absolutly great and works flautlesly then get these, you wont go wrong

Nice gear, easy to mount and good quality. I use it on a GWS FW190. Ok, it's not scale, but better than the original gear which broke out after a few landings.
Guzel sayilir. Urun elime ulasti sert ve saglam gorunuyor. Pek esnek bir yapisi yok ! Tam aradigim gibi fiyatina gore gayet iyi. insaatini tamamladigim 600 g lik ucagima takmayi planliyorum.
I have fitted these to my Precision Airobatics Addiction and they fit perfect, much stronger than PC's carbon Fibre undercarage and the perfect replacement
