FlightlineRC P-38 Complete Shock Absorbing Strut and Tire Set Reviews

4.8 Rating 103 Reviews
Great flying plane, flys off of grass with no problems, only complaints is I ordered the optional heavy duty gear, found it very difficult to remove stock gear due to using locktite, hard to remove without stripping head on allen screw, also wish they would offer touch up paint as the paint flakes very easily

They really work great. I have now had 11 great landings with no issues even off grass.

Would be much better if Flghtline had included the suspension struts with the model as they have with the Spitfire. The P38 is quite heavy and unless you are spot with your landings damage can done with the standard undercarriage. Having said the above the replacement version is good quality but do watch the video available on Motion RC site regarding the conversion as the front leg is tricky to do. Glad to find that an extra circlip for the front strut is provided because when the this is removed it will not fit back on as the spring tension of the circlip is lost. The extra grub screws were useful as these always seem to go walkabout never to be seen again.

Excellent quality for money.5. note all 3x other packs of clevises on this form are excellent quality and for replacement parts. THANKS: rudee1945@yahoo.com

Strut system works and looks fine except for the tires and white wheels. Would be willing to pay a little more for a more realistic looking setup.
