hi florent, no not in a jet but in a 3w bearcat, for me the system is brilliant, simple, easy to use and not that heavy.

RE: Eurokit's hydraulic gear info needed
Hi mick!
Just wanted to ask you a few more infos about your setup.
- is the operating time more realistic than with a pneumatic system? IOW, how long does it take to move the gear up and down? With what voltage?
- have you ever experienced any leakage while storing the model? That could become boring... and mess things up!
- did you remove the spring inside the cylinders?
I already own EK professional line retracts that I'm air-operating and I'd really like to upgrade to the hyd system.
Thank you!

Hi Giacomo
Yes the speed is realistic arround five seconds UP and DOWN.
No had no leaks, though for this model I made my own retracts with 3/4" cylinders.
You will have to use 4mm oil lines right through, so the u/c units will probably need modifying.
And finaly you cannot use spring down they must be oil up and down.
Hope this helps.
