What brand is this.
 

Hi I have a question what brand or retract is this and what do you think it will work on?



Thanks

RE: What brand is this.
 

Just a guess, but I'm thinking Century Jet nose gear. It should work on any plane that requires a retractable nose gear. The two lines to the cylinder are your air-up and air-down, and the third line to the wheel hub is for the brake.

Thanks. Is jet a good gear I can buy this used set for 40.00, also would like to know wher you can buy parts?

RE: What brand is this.
 

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

Where can I find Rhom Air retracts to look at.

RE: What brand is this.
 

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.

I beleve what you have there is a mixed hodge podge. Those two on the right with single airline and bulkhead mounts I am pretty sure are Springair mains that would be used in the wing P-38 and B-26 and are not compatable with that third one.

Correction after a closer look what you have on the right are two Springair nose wheels and that third one with the surface mount is a main gear of some other gear.
