Default Hydraulic Retract question

Hey everyone I ran across a conversion at hobby king and I have seen these before it looks like I nice alternative to air and a LOT cheaper than electric conversion.
I was wondering if anyone has used the hobbyking version I did see one review for a FEJ f15 using it but not sure what size.
If I tried a system like this can I run everything like my gear doors on it as well? im trying to come up with a system that doesnt require so many different things.
I refuse to use air for my landing gear but its fine for doors, canopy, brakes and stuff like that. I like the electric gear but converting 9 gear doors to electric and speed brakes to electric would just be crazy so I figured this may be a better alternative.
You can use it for brakes and you just use your current air cylinders, I would probably have to get a bigger oil tank for all the extra parts.

just some feedback from people who use it now.
