I installed electric retracts and electric brakes in my Boomerrang. Finished install the day before surgery so haven't flown it yet. Going to be strange not having to air up retracts/brakes for the first time. Have an event the weekend before in Tucson so I'll have a chance to test them before Bomber.

I've had new set of Pro-Link (Dreamworks) retracts laying around here for about a year. While I was in Florida last year, I stopped by Dreamworks to look around and saw they had a electric conversion kit available for the retracts. Bought the kit then a set of electric brakes. Took about 30 minutes to do the retract conversion. It was kinda fun pulling all air line and related equipment out of the plane
