Default Down and Locked Retracts - gone?

Have searched for them on the 'net and can't be found.
Have they been gone for quite awhile or ??

Last time I talked with the owners (~4 years ago), they were having issues with their government threatening to nationalizing them. Sounded like they were planning to either go out of business or start a civil war.

You can only build a bad product for so long before word gets around and folks like me and several more that I know, quit buying your stuff.

you can say that a little louder. They quoted me $1500 to convert a set of Sierra Fw190 main gear to electric. That was double the price of what the actual retracts cost.

I have a new set going into my Byron AT-6. Got them all hooked up, green light is on in the controller but the retracts won't work.
Any advise would be appreciated

Thanks
