Thanks Phil.
BTW do you , or anyone, know what types of video files are allowed for upload.
Update III
It would seem that the electric actuators that I have, (the fastest I could find at reasonable cost) are marginal & not as confidence inspiring as I had hoped. They will let you down easy. What is needed is a steeper lead angle on the internal screw, but this would give slower operation.
I'm now moving to air cylinders , with a small compressor & storage tank(s). The ~3"dia x 10" tanks will fit nicely inside the fairing if the bottoms of the storage pockets are modified, how much is TBD.
A 3 way solenoid will give a locked position ( up and down) when used with a momentary pressure switch.
If any one out there is well versed in pneumatics, I would love some help/advice/insight.
The new cylinders will be 6" stroke vs the current 4" & if necessary I'll go to 8". This will get the wheels up more than 2" extra.
More to follow, right now waiting on parts.
