        What is the SLS 22? Quite simply, it means freedom. Your tow pilot decide to go fishing today? No problem. The SLS 22 self launching system gets you in the air easily and quickly. Just like its full scale cousin, a prop arm extends and retracts from a well behind the cockpit. The SLS 22 has a direct drive system, meaning less complexity as the belt driven versions. The electric motor is mounted at the top of the prop arm. When launching the sailplane, the speed controller rolls on the power smoothly. You do not get full power right away to keep the sailplane from nosing over. Climb rate is brisk and scale looking. You get about 3 good climbs from a single charge. That's a lot of soaring!! When you are ready to soar, shut off the motor, a mechanical prop break stops the prop in the vertical position and the prop arm retracts back inside the fuselage. The prop arm doors close and now you are ready to do some soaring. An electronic sequencer controls the extension and retraction sequence and opens and closes the prop arm doors. Limit switches detect the prop arm's position to prevent damage. There is also a photo sensor to detect the props position before retraction. All of this is from a single switch on your transmitter.
