Speaking of hoisting...

I need to swing the gear for my conditional inspection, do you all lift the
airframe by the engine mount or some other place?

Thanks

I just looped heavy propylene rope, couple loops, through the intake
manifolds between each pair of cylinders. Close to balance; it needed only a
small "picker-upper" rope also up to the hoist to level her.  Very little
tension on each manifold bolt, if ya do da math.
