A high value model jet ultimately is only as good as its landing gear… with an inferior landing gear you might not even get from the ground, or then, damage your investment during landing. It is not easy to match the components of a retractable landing gear to the characteristics of a certain jet. It takes a lot of testing. Be assured that this testing has been done at CARF. The gear we offer is our advice, our recommendation and our warranty. It is a combination of the best units available today, such as BEHOTEC retract units, Jet Tech Germany trailing link struts and Intairco wheels and brakes from Australia. Combined they resemble one of the sturdiest, toughest retract systems, which can cope with a 20 kg Jet easily. Springs are carefully adjusted for the Lighting’s weight on the main gear, they work on tarmac or grass and the spring’s power doesn’t fade after several landings. Of course the landing gear set also includes the pneumatic equipment such as cylinders and linkages to control the gear doors.

Please look into the accessory listing on the right side of the shop page, where we offer this retract set together with recommended accessories such as valves and gear fail safe. If you chose to use, instead of ours, the equipment of your favourite landing gear manufacturer please make sure that he put as much development and testing efforts into his product (installed in a CARF Lightning / UltraLightning) as we did into ours! We are only interested in your success with this breathtaking airplane, we don’t want to see you grounded with sub standard or non matching aftermarket product…
