"  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.
