is empty
Hi all, Sorry to "raise" this subject yet again - but I'd just like to ask
people's
opinion...
Is it considered safe practice to lift a fully rigged monowheel for the
retraction
test/ inspection using a hoist?
In the past I've always messed around with jacks and trestles under the wing
spars
which works fine, if a little precarious! A friend though has a hydraulic
engine hoist which seems ideal and much easier - I was just worried that there
would be a lot of weight suspended from a single point on the airframe.
Where is the best place to attach the strap? I've heard talk about using the
undercarriage
mounting frame just behind the engine mounts??
If someone could reassure me - or otherwise - I'd be most grateful!
Best Regards,
Jon
