AirPower RA-215 Retract Main and Nose

AirPower Models are pleased to present their all new retract units.
Made from Anodised aluminium these units feature air up and air down operation and are intended to use in models from 9kg / 20lbs up to 20kg / 45 lbs in weight. Designed to be retro fitted in many of today’s sport models these units are able to withstand operation from grass and tarmac fields.
The main pivot block is made from high quality 7075 aluminium and machined to accept a 1/2” oleo strut. Retained in a clamp type mount that ensures a secure fixing with less chance of the leg rotating. The pivot pin is deliberately oversized in a effort to make all three units more rugged. The nose retract come as standard with the steering mechanism pre fitted as well as the straightening spring, although this can easily be removed and replaced with a 1/2 inch Oleo leg.
The RA-215 are available as singular units or as a complete kit of 3 units.

June features a picture we took during the 2008 Top Gun event in Lakeland Florida.
The plane is a 4 engine (gasoline engines) powered B-29 Superfortress.

The model carries a rocket powered X-1 Glider under the wing (the mounts can be seen on the picture) which it drops at height.
The X-1 is controlled by a second pilot who will, after a short glide, ignite the rocket motor and steer the X-1 back to height.
