Would imagine these are significantly more useful on heavier and faster aircraft - surely the weight and whatnot to retract move them is less worth it for small

Would imagine these are significantly more useful on heavier and faster aircraft - surely the weight and whatnot to retract move them is less worth it for smaller planes ?
