    The first unit was from Carl Goldberg and dates to the early 1970’s. Kraft sold an electric unit also in the ‘70’s.

    Can you show how to set it up on the receiver?

      The connector on the electric retracts would plug into the reciever just like any ESC or other servo. I typically put the landing gear on channel 5 or higher and assign it to a toggle switch.

    I recently replaced 1 electric retract and now 1 gear goes up while the other goes down? Any idea how to get them both to be in sequence?

    Are there any that go straight out?

      Any of the main or nose gear units are designed to swing thru a set number of degrees. Some only move 80 degreees, the majority will swing either 85 or 90 degrees. The 105 degree units are are used for some twin engine main gears or nose gear units. Not sure what you mean by straight out.

      if you are looking for a retract unit with the electric jackscrew on the opposite side of the retracted position some manufacturers offer this type of design

      @@clscale I was thinking like not swing, like just extend straight.

      The Grey plastic ones are from Robart, the metal ones I got from Hobby King. the retractable tailwheels came from robart. The units that I like best is E-Flite which is not shown in this video.
