Thanks for the words of support gents, medium size are up to 20kg and large are up to 40kg models. Prices later today but comparable with other quality retracts. Please note these are only the retract units, the struts are Behotec for my Tutor, I also have a medium set arriving for Ultra Flash.

Pin size can be made for any existing struts, these are 8mm.

Brakes are still under development but having the facility now helps to make them future proof. Also no need for a separate battery, just t off the ecu battery for convenience.

It is really absurd that these kinds of retracts are not available for 10 lb (5kg) aircraft. It is also absurd that these retracts cost more than teh rest of the model itself.
These are primarily aimed at the jet/larger model market market which is why I posted in this forum, unfortunately I can't think of a model they are designed for that would cost less. Assets like these do carry a certain financial manufacturing cost which is reflected in their retail value.

It's a fact of life that you can't please all of the people all of the time but on the other hand I would be very surprised if anyone investing in them thought what they got for their money absurd

Seasons Greetings to all
