I bought a used a Aviation Design F16. It came with some retracts which are rotating 90 degrees. The plane is probably 3-5 years old.
Yesterday, a cylinder nipple broke so I need some parts or a replacement unit. The trunion leg size is 1/2" so it appears to be a US made unit.

Any idea what it is?

Thanks

Arnaud

They would be Air Magic units I reckon, I have not seen them anodized gold before?? I have a similar looking set in my AD F-16, look near the same although my ones are anodized blue.... Air Magic are no longer in business as far as Iam aware. I would consider replacing nipple if possible, they are generally generic sizes so likely available, you could try Sierra for nipples if need be. JB Weld the new one in place and you should be right to go.... http://www.sierraprecision.com/
Awesome flying model by the way, still one of my all time favorites, absolutely ballistic speeds with a 30 lb thrust turbine...

Air magic

or Jet-1A
got still lots of parts here on stock mail me about it..
we still sell those , also the 90 degrees ones.
they are just not on our website

They are not Rhoms or Airmagic, i had both in my AD F-16`s so they must be Jet-1A

V..

Yep they are Jet-1A
got the nipples on stock , not even worth charging you for them..
send me your adres i will mail you a few , they are metric M3 with 3mm connection.
maybe you can also get them localy mcanister? goes faster

Thanks for the awesome help!<div>

Wow they look very close to the Air Magics!! Great to know the design lives on as they are strong puppies

Well, for the benefit of anyone finding this thread using the search feature, I have just realized that Tam makes some retracts which are exactly the same size as the Jet-1A retracts. They do rotated 90 degrees and parts are available.<div>
