Default RE: Electronic valves or servo operated ?

Hi
For landing gear i use Bob Violet high flow valves. I dont like the electronic on the gear, because when i switch the power off the electronic valve releases the airpressure. This will lead to that the gear will not stay locked. This is why i use a Jet tronic valve on the airbrake on my Eurofighter. i have all the switches etc. on a tray inside the airbrake. So when i turn of the power i can simply push the airbrake down manually
