Default converting air to electric retracts.

If anyone would like information on converting air retracts to electric i'm happy to post my research of the last few months on the topic. I've been building a Mick Reeves Lightening and wanted a much tighter retract to fit snug in the wing. I've used a screw jack system, very easy engineering to convert and have used an Arduino uno micro controller with a arduino motor shield to operate the gear doors, sequencing and retract motors. I'm new to RC Universe and this forum but would be happy to share for the benefit of all.
