  <p>Sariel states that all 3 LA's extend and retract at the same speed.
  Several sources state that the L linear actuator takes 26 revolutions to extend to its full 5 studs, so the small LA will take 15.6 revolutions to extend to its full 3 studs and the new XL linear actuator will take 41.6 revolutions to extend to its full 8 studs.</p>

  I am trying to find out if the linear actuators (small, large and XL) have a fixed number of rotations on the bottom axle connector in order to extend them fully?
  
  I am guessing the small LA will take fewer turns?
