Default Air rams

Hey guys,

I’ve heard that Ultra Precision is no longer in business. Does anyone know of a supplier for air rams?

Thanks in advance.

Robart used to sell them but they are no longer listed on their website.
Other air system components are still listed.

Model Aviation Products is indeed in business , I just paced an order with him and it will arrive tomorrow .
The line up of Ultra Precision items has changed but I still see air cylinders in his site.

Hi Dave, couldn’t see any air rams on the BVM website. What are most guys using by way of electrics to operate gear doors? Actuonix actuators or something else?

Thanks, I had a look o their website and they only have one or two long rams for canopy operation, nothing suitable for doors.

I've got a mini servo on the nose door and Actuonix actuators on the mains of my 2.6M Viperjet and couldn't be happier. The travel sets up just like regular servos. I did a quick search and found a few door cylinders. https://shopbvmjets.com/index.php?ma...yword=cylinder
