Am building an old model I have had for some time it is a 2.6m RF5B motorglider and  I intend to electrify.  It will weigh a max of 3.1kg maybe a bit less when I determine motor/battery/UC etc.
 
Would like to make the UC retractable. I am aware of the more dedicated glider retracts but they are more expensive and would be difficult to install in this fuse. The actual scale of the RF5B is approx. 1/6.5 and the wheel size is 50mm or approx 2"

Would one of these work for a mono wheel setup. I assume the the 90 deg rotation can be turned off? The blurb says it's ok for a model < 4.7 Kg but I assume that would be for a trigear setup and not 4.7Kg per unit.

Has anyone actually used one of these servoless systems or something similar
