Default Retract help....try again

Hey Fellas, (sorry about the first post, I hit the wrong button)

I am haviong a retract problem...Not jet related as it is with a p-51, but I thought you guys would be the best help.

Problem.... Retracts operate somewhat jerky. I am planning on removing them and using some white lithium grease on all friction areas. I have a flow control on EACH retract for best control. I have NOT flown the plane with these retracts yet, but I am thinking that the motor vibration may actually help.These are brand new ROBART retracts. I am also going to be changing the wheels that I have to a lighter foam wheel.

What do you guys think? Are they just going to be this way, or should I be able to get them to operate smoothly. Seems to me that most of them on the jets either snap up quickly or are very smooth looking.

Thanks,
