electric with retracts
« on: November 15, 2013, 08:16:10 AM »
Is there any control line kit available that uses an electric motor and that is suitable for retracts?

I have converted a Brodak LA-5 to electric. See http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php?topic=19101.0

It has plenty of room in the wing for retracts.

Hi David:

KR offers a governor with retract control included. We have field tested the retract system and it works perfectly. Andy Borgogna installed the retracts and did the field testing so drop him a line and ask what he used.
