I recently acquired a plane that has novel front gear brake installed. It is a brass shoe that makes contact with the nose wheel when you throw the brake switch on your compouter radio TX. I have never used a Robart system but this looks very similar to the pictures on their web site except for the Main valve. It has a "mousse" style can that holds the air and it appears to have a Robart fill valve. My problem is I need a fitting and a pump to charge the system. The fitting would go on the end of the pump and screw (It will need a male end) into the fill port of the brake system. Some of the guys here think it may have been a CO2 system but I have no way of knowing. There are no markings on anything so I can't tell who the mfgr might be. If you think you can help, please email me and I will supply photos of the whole thing so you can look and maybe offer some alternatives as to how I can charge it.
