Electric self launching system update

Here is a short video of the pylon's manual operation. https://youtu.be/a90EUIrYEYw The retraction is done manually with a lever in the cockpit? What is the motor horsepower? -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Dec 2014a" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://soaringsafety.org/prevention/...anes-2014A.pdf

Yes, the motor is extended and retracted manually.
The power is around 40hp. But we have to test the power consumption of the propeller at the propeller's rpm limit.

Eric,
If you watch the video carefully (the lighting is not too good in the cockpit) you can watch the manual extension. It doesn't appear to require any extreme effort. RC
