Exciting new electrical retracts that weigh only 6.5 ounces for the total setup. Each strut has almost an inch of downward spring loaded travel for maximum shock absorption. Installation is as simple as mounting into your model and connecting the 3 retract units servo wire plugs into the master retract controller then plugging controller into your receivers gear channel. No air tanks, air lines, or complicated setups. Does require one servo for the nose steering. Struts are removable from retract unit allowing you to customize for your particular application.

  • Sorry, you actually main 6.5Ls, not 6.5ounces , right? Thanks,

  • its really slow, anyway to make it faster?

  • It work like scale speed, The speed can be increased by higher voltage input from control box DSR-C100, the system operation voltage range from lowest as 4 volt to highest as 10 volts. no excess is allowed. Usually, set-up a small and light weight battery pack like 7.4V; 800 mAh 2 cells LiPo for this application is recommended. It can make retract system works not only faster but also more consistence.

  • Why would I use these power retracts over air retracts? I would save the power for the plane and use air for the retracts.

    What is the benifits of these retracts over air?

  • Power use for these is neglebible since they only use about as much juice as 3 extra servos when in use.

    Benifits over air:

    Ease of installation and lack of having to route air hoses. No need for air tank. No gear operation failure due to air leaks. More scale look on gear up and down. These all have spring loaded struts to absorb landing shock instead of wire struts on micro retracts.

  • why you need it faster, the purpose of this retratcs is to look real, slow, like the real aircrafts, come on.

  • hey is there a ghetto way to do it like i with some servos cuz i dont wanna pay 30 bucks for something i can do for 3

  • do you know if they make something to plug in to your radio that can run down the edf like a scale jet? im sure i saw something a while back .. or did i dream it.

  • where can i buy this landing gear

  • ok now you need to do the bay doors for the gear

  • it looks nice and works nice but i wont trust it on my plane it looks way to unstable

  • NICE

  • Err i think 6.5 ounces is actually pretty heavy
