News:
Boomerang Elan
it has come to our attention that there is some confusion about the new Jet-1a landing gear sold by the official channels
www.jet-1a.com
and jetpower usa "elan"set.
they do sell a equivalent jet -1a set but there are some major differences that you as a buyer should be aware off.
first of all the most important features the main oleo sets are custom made for the élan by Jet-1A and are sold only thru :
Als Hobbies
Camlex usa
Boomerangjets usa
Mark Kyle Australia
main differences:
the "standard" set comes with a custom made former to lift the front retract.
comes with 2 x fake carbon enclosures to cover the space next to the retract.
the main oleo’s are almost in a strait line and they fit without CHANGING anything to the airframe (exept for the depth).(the others use the "old" one s that wont fit without altering the airframe) see pic 1 and 2 and 3
the main oleo’s are also 5mm smaller in size.
the main oleo’s also have the new feature , that the lower portions are different in size.
this will cause to take more beatings and springs will live a longer time.
the original Jet-1a tyres as sold by us are 3 times lighter then the ones sold by jetpower.
also our set has a new low profile axle system , you NEED this , otherwise the wheel axle and collard as sold by jetpower will hit against the wheel Wels causing the composite material to rupture when retracting.
ours has a different system see pic 4
also you get 2 spare springs for free
also you get a 3 piece allen key set for maintenance and repairing our set (spring replacement)
our "deluxe" version
what you get more is :
2 valves electronic powered.
steering cables.4 festo t-parts
4 meters of festo airline
2 air bottles that fit inside exactly in the holes cut out for it.
filling valve
all t pieces and connectors
nice new packaging you can later use as a spare part container.
i hope this clears all up misunderstandings that you customers ask us.
Below you can see some pictures of the normal package and the deluxe package
the price of the sets are :
Elan standard: $875,-
Elan de luxe : $975,-

Jet-1A
BVM,s KingCat
NEW they have arived and on stock!!!
new Kingcat Struts made by Jet-1A
the brand new 2008 oleo’s where redesigned from the bottom up!
we had some set,s in the field thru out the year.
a well known pilot used to fly for BVM has tested the latest ones for us and he was very impressed with the new layout.
and he is teaching many new pupils with his KingKat and our struts.
he reported that even after the worst landings possible the flex plates where still at one piece , but the springs had suffered.
the new struts have also a new lower custom made part.
this is made shorter then the old one , now it can take more weight.
even a better option is that you can choose 3 axle sizes 3/16 1/4 or 6mm.
we can even supply our own 90mm jet-1a wheels for it.
price : $199,-
