This handy air pump for charging and recharging pneumatic (air) retract systems is rated at over 100 psi. The pump is durable, serviceable and easy to store in your flight box. The pump includes a pressure gauge for reading input pressure, and it is compatible with all air system fill-chucks.
Standard Small Variable Rate Air Control Kit (set)
This is a complete air-control kit for use with any pneumatic-operated (air) retracts. The kit includes: small air tank, 5 ft. red & purple air line, fittings, retaining nuts, variable rate control valve, fill valve, and fill fitting.
The operating valve requires approximate 1/4" of push rod travel and functions with standard or mini servos. (Servo & Push Rod Not Included) Max. Operating Pressure 110 psi. Weight: 3oz
The PRO pneumatic evoJet Orbit valves are based on first-class miniature valves with Viton seals. These valves are equipped with entirely new digital micro controllers, making their handling even more convenient:
* Freely programmable switching points for compatibility with all R/C equipment * Switch mode(gear) or Pulse width mode(brakes) selectable * Completely EMC compliant (electromagnetic compatibility)
The valve is simply connected to a receiver output just like you would connect a servo, or e.g. combined with the elevator servo as a braking valve. This allows precise and easy programming of the switching points with the help of a small push-button on the valve. A red LED informs you about the current switching state.
This one-way version is suitable for landing gears and flaps with built-in spring or as a proportional braking valve.

4mm tube size. Screws into evoJet Orbit pneumatic valves with 3mm threads. Use for retractable landing gear or brake systems. Pressure range: =12 to 110 psi.
This fill valve and fill chuck for pressurizing pneumatic systems include a no leak check valve to ensure that the system pressure is maintained. Compatible with hand pumps or small portable air compressors. The valve is made of durable aluminum.
This is durable, high-pressure tubing for use with pneumatic-control systems, retracts and pneumatic brakes. Rated at 120 psi, the tubing has a 1/8-inch OD with a 1/16-inch id. It works with all pneumatic systems. The package includes 10 feet of black tubing, 2 @ 5'.
The Air-Line Retainer Nuts are a new innovation for securing an air line to the nipples of pneumatic retracts, valves, pressure tanks and fittings. Features include knurled OD for finger-grip tightening and threaded id. The nuts are compatible with all pneumatic systems.
This light-weight, easy-to-use air-line connector for pneumatic systems allows quick and easy assembly and disassembly of the air line. The unit is rated at over 100 psi. It will not twist or kink the air line and is compatible with all pneumatic systems.
The higher the pressure the tighter the grip. Easy tube insertion and removal, will not damage tubing! They are light weight and are provided with mounting lugs for clean installations.
Air-Line Restrictors (4 package) These solid-brass air restrictors reduce the cycle speed of pneumatic retracts and are designed for use with 1/16-inch id air lines. Barbed ends for secure connections.
1/8 inch- for .90 & up fuel line Made from high-density plastic resins, Robart Tubing Couplers are safe to use with air, glow- and gas-fuel systems. The couplers come four pieces per package of either Tees, Elbows, or straight couplers. The couplers are color-coded red and black.
Variable Rate Control Valve (formerly the "red valve") (each)
This valve if for use with all pneumatic-operated (air) retractable landing gears. Independent adjustments for up and down, true scale like speed. Precise control, works with all makes of retracts. Gear always moves under full pressure and volume. Works with 2 or 3 landing gear systems. The operating valve requires approximate 1/4" of push rod travel and functions with standard or mini servos.

Air Retract Valves and Fittings
Pneumatic landing gear relies on clean air routing, and this category gathers the valves and fittings that connect a retract system from the air tank to each cylinder. Whether you are plumbing a new air retract setup or replacing a worn connector, these parts handle the control and distribution side of the system.
Valves and Control
The Robart 188VR Variable Rate Air Control Kit lets you adjust how quickly the gear cycles, while the evoJet Orbit Pro single action landing gear valve manages the flow that raises and lowers the wheels. Matching the valve to your radio channel keeps operation predictable.
Fittings and Splitters
Air splitters in three way and four way 3mm versions branch a single line to multiple cylinders, and the Robart fill chuck replacement fitting restores the charging point for the 168 pump. The Robart hand air pump with gauge lets you charge and monitor tank pressure at the field.
Look through the valves, splitters, and fittings listed above to complete your retract plumbing.
