Hi! Simon
One guy leans over the rear of the empennage to hold the tail down, that
gets the nose up. or he can press on one side of the torque tube which
keeps his feet on the floor so he can do some directional steering.
Two more guys each pull on the front of the door jambs.
Fourth one pulls on the prop. close to the spinner only.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Subject: Europa-List: Recommended towing and jacking points
My Tri-gear is due to be moved from the workshop to its hangar next
weekend.
I need to lift the nose-wheel by about 12" or 30cm to reduce the overall
height of the aeroplane so it will fit through the door of the workshop
- is
there a preferred jacking point to do this?
In addition, is there a preferred towing point (or pushing point) to get
it
up the ramp from the workshop to the road. There will be four of us to
do
the pushing/pulling (I hope - the weather forecast is for snow on
Saturday...)
