I need advise or recommendations on what solenoid valve's (type, model) would work best for creating a tail ballast dump mechanism. *My glider, unfortunately, did not come with a mechanical release. *My glider is in the shop getting an evacuation vent and break away tail wheel so the time is right to do this. *As part of the current project we are removing the tail battery and adding lead in the boom to reduce the chances of a tail break in a ground loop. *We can also easily use the tail battery wiring to power the solenoid switch.

Anyone have any experience or info to help me? *Thanks in advance. *I need to buy a valve today or tomorrow so pace is key!
