Matco ALS has been serving the sport aircraft market for eight decades, and our goal has always been to supply kit manufacturers with high-quality, reliable parts at affordable price points. Our no-frills brakes, wheels, and landing gear components are built for performance, and since everything is made in the US, our supply chain is always dependable.
But why is our production process so important — and, most importantly, how does it help you design kits that your customers love? Find out below.
The Importance of Quality Components in Sport Aircraft Kits
It’s tempting to buy mass-produced parts in bulk, but doing so can cost you dearly in the long term. Cheap parts are exponentially more likely to perform poorly or even fail, which means more customers calling and emailing you with complaints and replacement requests. These long-term costs quickly add up and overshadow any initial short-term savings.
By contrast, investing in durable landing gear components for your light sport aircraft kits will help you provide the best possible customer experience. You’ll reduce risk for your customers and for yourself (and your kits will be easier to assemble).
What Makes Matco ALS Different
While many landing gear component brands focus on price or features, we focus on quality. We don’t under-engineer our parts to cut costs, but we also don’t over-engineer to include features you just don’t need. Instead, we aim for the middle ground, which is why we’re able to offer
thoroughly tested, flight-ready parts that don’t break the bank.
How to Choose the Right Components for Your Sport Aircraft Kit
The components you choose for your sport aircraft kits will depend on factors like aircraft weight, brake load, and wheel size. Because this process can be complex, it helps to have a component manufacturer that can help you find the right parts for your kit.
We make this easy by providing world-class technical support from industry experts. When you call Matco ALS, you’ll reach a real person who’s ready to help you tackle your issues and troubleshoot in the moment. We also have handy resources like this wheel and brake assembly calculator to help you quickly and easily get the info you need.
