Default Are mechanical retracts any good?

Are mechanical retracts just as reliable as the air types?

I have been told that the mechanical type fail easily and can cause excess flight pack drain if not fitted correctly.

They are required for a 65 ich span Spitfire weighing approx. 7lbs.

The views of current mechanical retracts users would be much appreciated!



Thanks.....
