Thank you "super contributer" you diagram helped me to sort everything out.
The Rom airs are working again after more than 20 years
Amazing !!!
The ones used in my Kwik Fli III taper wing were 32 years old. I bought them new in 1974 and installed them in the aircraft but they were never used. When I got the aircraft back they worked like brand-new and still do.

I love Rhom-Air landing gear. I never had a problem with them. They worked as advertised each and every time.
My friend and pattern mentor, Syd Clement, gave me an in-depth training session on the proper operation of these gear many years ago. I attribute his instruction as to why/how my gear worked so reliably.
Naturally, no one uses Freon for propellant and A/C oil for lubrication these days. I was taught to use 100 lbs. of compressed air and to lubricant the system's o-rings with silicon grease stick as was sold in Sears back in the very early Eighties.
I'm looking for a couple sets now, so if anyone has Rhom Air gear they want to sell or trade for, PM me.
