ORIGINAL: hogflyer

I haven't run Century before, so I couldn't tell you. My preference has always been Rhom Air.

Hogflyer
Rhom air is no longer in buisness so parts for the gear are not available unless you can find suitable alternatives those gear look like a money pit there also set up for brakes which require more plumbing, that = more areas for leaks, and problems.
if your looking for retracts spend a few extra $$ and get a new set you will avoid alot of the hassles that leaky seals and old hardware provide.

several popular types available are,
spring air http://www.retracts.com/
century jet http://centuryjet.com/index.php/cPat...17a20134f43a2d
Robart http://www.robart.com/
shindin machine http://www.shindinmachine.com/
LADO http://www.lado-tech.net/ there electric actuated

the only type I don't own is shindin machine,and spring air, shindin are mostly geared for giant scale models and I fly mostly 60 size planes the others have there advantages and drawbacks.
theres a few more out there use google.
