Box contents
- Two robust metal struts with integrated gear brackets
- Built-in brushed motor and protective micro PCB (includes over-current protection)
- JR-style universal connector for receiver interface
Performance details
Deployment is quick and precise: approximately 1.25 s at 4.8 V, 1.00 s at 6.0 V, and a speedy 0.75 s at 7.4 V. Each retract weighs around 1.4 oz (39.5 g), balancing weight with durability.
Compatibility
Built for the mid-size class, this retract unit suits aircraft ranging from 15 to 25 in size, including warbirds, sport planes, and scale models, offering both steered retract movement and clean mechanical function.
Installation simplicity
Installation is straightforward—secure the retract unit, connect the JR-style plug to a single servo channel, and test. Its self-contained design avoids air systems and allows plenty of space for other internal components.
Why electric gear prevails over pneumatic
Electric retracts eliminate the need for pumps, tanks, and lines, providing quieter, lighter, and more reliable operation with minimal maintenance requirements.

We want to make sure your delivery goes smoothly, so here are some important details about our service:
- For orders above £120, we offer delivery to most mainland UK addresses. For orders under £120, we can still deliver to Northern Ireland and the outlying isles, as long as the item can be sent by Royal Mail, weighs less than 30kg, and fits within 61cm × 46cm × 46cm.
