This is a set I got with a Bert Baker 1/4 scale (96") P-39.
Anybody know who make them?

Can't tell you who they are, but I can tell you they are not Robart.

TLH101,

They look like the Dave Platt "Competition Special" retracts.

Here's a picture of the Dave Platt mechanism, if this is what you have, they are very strong. Greg

THey May Be Yellow Aircraft Retracts. Bert Baker's airplanes are all kitted by Yellow aircraft S!

Default Retract Manufacturer
They do not look like any of them mentioned above.

The cylinder is the best way to tell, but I do not
think it is from yellow.

Why do you need to know?
