Just looking around, I would like to try and make a set

I have own designed electric retracts on my scratch built DeHavilland 110 (SeaVixen prototype) been working for fifteen years with not one failure!

Could you possible give some detail on what you used? im trying to find a place to buy similar stuff for small worm drives.

I nned to get to my other computer to send you more details. Not worm drives, I use retract servos and tooth belts.

You don't need to use a worm gear too difficult to get the clearance right and accurate drilling needed

Simple way is to use a threaded rod screwing through the brass slider that is normally connected to the piston rod

Been looking at motor/gearboxes myself plenty on eBay just need to establish what rpm suits best
