Default Will Pro-Lynx wheel and brakes fit a Behotec trailingedge oleo?

Hi all!
I’m about to shop at Digitech for some general stuff, and wonder if I should get my self a set of wheels and brakes for my C50 Behotec trailing edge oleo. But will they fit, and how doses is the brake disc held by the oleo?

hi
yes they could fit

our bearings are 6mm , so are the axles from Behotec
as for the brake , if i remember correctly the brake should be able to fit also..
we dont make a big deal out of it if it does not fit.
we have a few machines to make sure it fits

Hi Sandor
Thanks for the rapid response! The actual dimensions is shown below.
Are the wheels suitable for both asphalt and grass? Normally I prefer hard rubber wheels for asphalt, but I assume the ProLynx are quite soft?

Hmm, what is the maximum span it can take? I could easily cut it down some milimeters..

on jet-1a its 12,89mm
on the PL brakes its 10.04mm
no matter both brakes fit vice versa on both systems.
however we do NOT have solid tyres from Pro-lynx...

a ok....... hahaha

no issue,s then just use 2 bottle setup and lower the pressure for the brakes to 25psi , good braking and no flat spots..
and as for the cost of spare tyres, it is as expensive as a pack of sigarettes....
sprint uses 70-76mm , you can leave the tyres almost deflated and they work great..

Thanks
Due to the huge C50 retract and oleo’s, I only fit a 63mm wheel, but it will work fine also, I believe. I will be using a prop.valve (from your store).

The retract and oleo are left-overs from another project where the buyer left me with my gear, and they fit just in after some Dremmel’ing.
At least it's working now, and has 12 flights allready.

While I have you; are your white robart airconnectors for 3mm hose on both mail and female connecter? The female looks larger..

Hi Kenneth
Thanks for your info. I have ordered the A1 brakes and stuff at Sandor, and it fits after minor modifications. My C50-trailing edge oleo is the huge one of Behotec’s, so it might not be the the one your using.

No, on the citation, i'm going to use NLK-111 from the C-36 series,
cut them down a little, and fit with Prolynx 63mm wheels and brakes, and prolynx retracts

so i guess my remark was a little off then [:-]
