Default RE: Going electric!

I feel confident this last change will do the job. The brass can be exchanged for steel if flying (poor landings) should bend the T-rod
The nose unit has worked flawlessly the whole time, but the nose wheel is 5 inch and the assembly is a lot lighter.
Pros and Cons:
Electric stronger, more consistent, weight saved on model, easy retract installation, no air leaks, no valves, no air lines, scale retraction speed
Not so good: A bit long retraction cycle (12 sec), more expensive
