Fender,
Those are the only ones with decent force and speed specs within a normal size range that you would use for RC. The rest are all very small (like the spektrum stuff) or extremely large/heavy

Well ESM is converting all the WW2 bird retracts to electric who makes theirs? Other companies who are making electric retracts are they making there own or adapting them?

I'm looking very seriously at Wingspan for the retracts in my 20% Zlin 526. I need a 95 degree swing and they are the only one that has a reasonable priced unit.
