I have bought an engine hoist (about 150). You can lift the whole front end of
the plane, suspended by engine mounting frame. I decided that the hoist is a
worth-while
investment, for the annual u/c checks, tyre changes (if necessary)
etc.

Subject: Jacking the airplane
Hi,
Now that I am done with the airplane -- just about - I have to figure a
different way of jacking it to swing the gear. I have been bolting through
the fuselage, but now that I have paint on it (a good way to describe the
quality of my paint job!) I cannot jack it that way.
What are most people doing to jack their airplanes? I have seen motorcycle
jacks under the fuselage (can't figure the way to support that without
damaging the structure) and maybe under the wing spars - inboard (that would
need to be secure from slipping onto the skin.
Thanks,
Dave
