Default RE: Electric retracts?

Joe,

Likes Lines used to do electric as well years ago.

Last week at Castle, there was a company there that had developed new electric technology for
retracts. they where very nice setup. you send him your gear, and he retrofits his stuff into them.
They where worm gear driven, and run off of their own power pac. very light and robust.

he can make them do anything. slow up/down, fast up/down. I will look for my info on them and
post them here. They are located in the LA basin area if I remember correctly.

one of the coolest things about them, they operate like Spring Air units. If you loose battery
power in flight, the gear come down automaticaly. that way you dont have to worry about the
gear not working for you.

BTW, thanks for the show up here yesterday. You did good and crowd loved it.

Todd
