REACTION ARF RETRACT, WHEEL, AND BRAKE OPTIONS
PST manufactures their own brand of retracts, wheels, and brakes, and offers them in two complete
packages that are perfectly suited to the Reaction ARF. Dreamworks developed a set of Pro-Links retracts
and struts that are also a drop-in fit. However, the generic mounting areas for the
retract units make it relatively easy to install other brands of equipment. PST specifies
Robart Heavy-Duty 630 Series or Spring Air 700 Series as possible alternatives. Some strut length
modifications may be necessary to make them fit properly.
PST Retract Packages
Straight struts are out, trailing links are in! PST recently upgraded their retracts by
using trailing link struts on all three legs. There is no compromise in quality here, the struts are machined
from 7075-T6 Aluminum. The Basic Package includes
the retracts, struts, wheels, brakes, retract valves, tubing and a variety of connectors. The Deluxe
Package also includes a PST Proportional Brake Valve, their unique 3-in-1 Quick Connectors, and a couple of
miniature pressure gauges. The feedback on these retracts from pilots has been very positive,
even when used on grass.
Ordering Info It is strongly recommended that you order this package with your Reaction
so it can be packed into the ARF box at the PST factory. If ordered separately, shipping charges will apply.

Pro-Links Retract Packages
Dreamworks manufactures these Pro-Link retracts and Struts in the USA. Their most important feature is
the trailing-link strut design that has become very popular in the jet community. The main wheel struts
feature a unique offset adjustment screw that allows you to center the wheel in the wheel well.
These high quality struts will not “loosen up" from continuous use and will provide protection for the
life of your aircraft. No pin connection struts here, Pro-Link struts are 1/2" trunion lock style for
ultimate strength and reliability. Available from BTE!
Ordering Info Pro-Link items will be drop-shipped from Florida. All BTE prices include shipping.
Combo Discounts will apply when ordered with a Reaction ARF.

Pro-Link Modification by Dave Rigotti
Dave flies from grass, so he wanted a larger diameter nosewheel for his Pro-Links. Clink the link
below for details and photos of how he did it.
