Default RE: Which retract for BRIAN TAYLOR P-51 69

Hi

Ok I will post pics once I find them. (Tmrro night) We have a house expansion going on right now that has shut my shop down. My hardware is in boxes.

The struts are nice shock absorbing type with dampening via a nylon friction set up. The "yolk' is the only part that looks odd. It is square and not rounded as in scale. The shape is right, just not a tube look to it.

The speed of the retracts can be controlled by a valve that has a needle valve type of regulator on it. I do not have this valve.

I do have a system to make my BF 109 LG retract one after the other, but that has a different retract lay out.
