E-flite Main Landing Gear System Viper 70mm- EFLG7709 Wheels Gear Retracts & Accys

The E-flite Main Landing Gear System for the Viper 70mm (EFLG7709) is a mixed bag according to customer reviews. While many users appreciate the good design and report that it fits well with their planes, the performance during actual usage has raised some concerns. Initially, the retractable mechanism functions well, giving users confidence in its operational capabilities. However, several customers have reported issues with the durability of the gear after just a few flights. Users note that the struts have a tendency to bend out of shape, particularly after harder landings, leading to loose and sloppy handling. Within approximately six flights, many have experienced a complete failure of the retractable mechanism, which significantly affects the functionality and reliability of the landing gear. Some reviewers suggest that while they are inexpensive and suitable for test flights on newly built planes, their overall performance may not meet the demands of regular usage. In summary, while the E-flite landing gear system offers a solid start, it appears to fall short in durability and longevity, potentially limiting its use to casual or initial test flights rather than dependable, everyday flying scenarios. **
