For some reason Robart and Tower seem to have a problem getting retracts for the Top Flite Piper Arrow kit and a lot of other kits. I have had mine on order since October. I emailed Century Jet Models and got a reply from Bruce Sanders. He has the complete retract set for the TF Arrow and sells them for $360.00 and with a real good warranty. The part number he gave me is: 39925.
Yes I received the same info from Century Jets model, I'm already thinky to order it from this place, the price is cheaper than Robart and the warranty look like better, the only add-on is the best control valve for something around 35.00
Yes, we do manufacture the landing gear you want:
39925 Top Flite Piper Arrow $360.00
These retracts come with a complete air support system, stainless steel oleo struts, and axles. Sorry no wheels.
THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT APPLIES TO THE LANDING GEAR YOU HAVE INQUIRED ABOUT:
ALL CENTURION LANDING GEAR PRODUCED AFTER NOVEMBER 15, 2004 HAVE A BULLET PROOF INNER STRUT INSTALLED. NO LONGER WILL THE INNER STRUT BEND AS A RESULT OF DAY IN AND DAY OUT NORMAL FLYING OPERATION. IF IT DOES AND YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER, WE WILL REPLACE THE INNER STRUT FREE OF CHARGE AS LONG AS YOU OWN THE LANDING GEAR. NO OTHER COMPANY CAN OFFER THIS WARRANTY.
International postage depends on method of shipment and the country you reside in. There are two methods we can use:
a. We can ship normal international air mail which can take 2-3 weeks in transit due to security and customs. Although we can insure the package, there is no way to provide you tracking information. Average cost is around $16.00 dollars for a set of landing gear.
b. We can ship EMS using the same international mail system but it is much faster (3-4 days on an average) and we can provide tracking information. Average cost is $24.00 dollars, insured.
I recommend the optional Deluxe 4 Way valve (1410E) for $35.00. See photo. This valve provides infinite adjustment to the speed of the left gear up and down independent of the right gear. The valve comes with a life time warranty and really adds realism to your plane.

Another good retract company is Spring Air Products. The gear housing is well designed and sturdy. The only drawback is they do not have a 105 degree nose gear at this time. I designed some plywood ramps to extend the nose gear rake forward. Check out Spring Air if you are shopping.
There's the final of the Fin/rudder assy. with the beacon and the white nav light, all the corrugations are filled then I pass to the next step the stab.
Here's 2 pictures of the final product.

I just painted the metallic red on my tail cone and found a product in Walmart that matches awful close. For those interested, it's the Dupli-Color Import Auto Spray for the Nissan, Cherry Red Pearl Metallic spray #88-00570. I used it and then hit it with TF Clear gloss.
I guess I'm joining the club. Just purchase the kit on ordered the retracts from Robarts and light system from ElectroDynamics. My question is about the retract doors. Any close up photos to see how the gear doors are attached to the retracts to get movement.
I did not like the Ram system because of having the 9V battery powering each system individually (Landing, beacon, nav...) and ending up with 3 or more 9V batteries. I read on other forum about the ElectroDynamics system and from there web site, it looks pre
