| Retractable Gear |
The NEW landing gear for
the Composite-ARF Mig 15 is a long term development with
INTAIRCO in Australia. It is the high performance landing gear you
all were waiting for. The strong mechanics and the durable oleo
struts are CNC machined from the highest grade aluminum and
stainless steel. The landing gear set comes with wheels and brakes
complete, and it also includes a retract valve and an air tank,
T-fittings, connectors and a fill valve as well as 3 different
colored Air lines.

The support air ram in the position of the scale cylinder is not a dummy, it is a real active cylinder to support the retract mechanism to make sure the strut always operates properly, even if you retract the gear at a little higher air speed.
These can be ordered from Comp-ARF here |
| GearDoor and Speedbrake Cylinders |
Several people have asked what size cylinders to use on the doors and brake. Some have opted for:
Robart 3/8"x1" cylinder, part no. #165 - about 30 Euros each.
Others have used:
Ultra Precision 5/16" x 1"on the nose and mains (so 4 total) and 5/16 x 1.5" for the speed brakes (2 total)
