RED or BLUE
 

Hi guys,

Which is the best Robart air control valve for retracts, the red or blue valve? I am more concerned with reliability rather they speed of retraction because I believe that both could be made to retract realistically.

Any feedback?

Thanks

Reuben

I've only got experience with the red one...my latest project has some natural restrictions in the airline so I was able to remove the needle valves completely...

Not Robart ... but Check out the Jet Model products 2-way value... IMO the BEST [8D]

I have used the blue ones with out any problems. To control the rate I use the Robart air line restrictors instead of using the red one that I believe is a variable rate valve. I recommend using the UP1 Valve or the UP2 valve

Thanks for the replies guys....you all seem to have a common feature and am trying to read between the lines.

Thanks

I should have said that this is needed for a Kangaroo plane. Since I am outside USA I would have to see who sells UP stuff in Europe.
Thanks again

Check with Todd at [link=http://dreamworksrc.com/]Dreamworks RC[/link] I know that he ships to Europe all the time.

The UP valves are very good.

I am sure there are others but two places in Europe to get them are:

The BVM Hi Flow works great and has been very reliable.
