"  I must have lifted those gear legs by human power at
 least 1000 times (each leg) building those darn sliders and getting 
 everything to
  work together (takes two human power machines to raise both legs"

 We took a 9.6 volt Makita electric drill battery and used it to cycle the 
hydraulic pump.  It worked wonderfully.  I think the record was about nine up 
and down cylcles on one charge.  It was amazing what power that little 
battery had.

Put a switch in line, and you can sit under the aircraft and power the pump 
incrementally if you wish.
