Retracts for the "CATS" & Falcon
 

Hey John,
I bought a Falcon 120, a Flycat & a Bobcat. Order No's. 17210252890263-57531, 17210252890263-57190 17210252890263-57325
I ordered the retracts for the Falcon & the Flycat. but there's only two.
Where do I get the nose retracts?
Are the retracts the same for the Bobcat?
Anybody had any experience with 'em?
You know these babies are gonna land "hot", so I hope the gear is tough & sturdy!

The Nitroplanes retracts that are sold on the web site are NOT suitable for the Bobcats and Falcons.
Those retracts are generic mechanicals sutable for .40 sized planes or so. They would break on the first landing on the Bobcat.


There is a HUGE thread on the Bobcat 50 here, where we've gone into the retracts... search on Bobcat 50 to find it.

Most people use either the Robart or Sping-Air retracts and a few have used the Century retracts on the Falcon 1.20.

You'll need pneumatic retracts as well.

I used a set of robart # 510 for the main gear and a # 514 for the nose gear.
Very minor changes to get them to fit.
