How much do these weigh? (Actual weight,not postage weight)

16 grammi precisi. puoi alleggerirli forando la grande piastra centrale "io ho preso questo Retractable Tail Landing Gear set.è lo stesso ha solo la ruota in più". guarda le foto nella sezione file dicono molto.

Is this a steerable tail wheel?
 jason 9 points
Yes it is

Thanks for the quick reply

I think it really is. I can see in the photo an arm (at the bottom )for controlling the steer. I think this arm should be attached to the wheel wire. As you can see in the photo the wheel wire can move loose until you control it with this arm

Yes the control arm can be seen in the photo on the bottom

Yes it is steerable, take a look at my Blog on RCGroups**** in my 60" Wingspan P51 build. I have several photos and a video of the tail retract on there... Mudman1959

can someone please explain which is the function of the thin springy wire?
 AndyPandy 15 points
It adds tension so mechanisim locks in position when down.

I can't really imagine how this could be steered. If you attach the control arm to the wheel wire, the arm will be moving up and down together with the wire when retracted and lowered. How can you then attach the system to the steering servo (which is always fixed to the fuse)? :o
 Lee 7 points
The thin wire is for centering of the steering for when you retract the gear but I had no luck using it and ended up removing it later on. I have several photos on my blog at RCGroups**** for my 60" P51 build that shows it installed... Mudman1959

5 thumbs up!
Well engineered and lends itself to other uses , may try one of these as a flap mechanism on a 110 scale Tempest V, excellent value and fast delivery.

Quite capable of taking a wheel up to 35mm or 1.5'' and locks out well when in down position.

Installed on my Hanger 9 63" P-47 Thunderbolt. I used the Hanger 9 kit supplied sprung leg and wheel and slotted it straight into this retract unit. Plenty of heavy landings on grass but no probs at all. I use a Hitec HS55 servo to actuate it.
