If you still have the dummy spar, perhaps you could make/get made a steel
tube with the correct spacing to replicate the main spar setup, and jack

Subject: Europa-List: Lifting the Europa
Hey Guys and Gals,
When folks talk about lifting a Europa by the engine mount are they
referring to the mount forward of the lord mounts or aft of the lord mounts?
I need to lift my Classic monowheel for maintenance in the garage without
the wings on it. I am thinking about having a welded stand with the
hydraulic jack added like someone on the forum made for lifting, but the
exhaust pipe is in the way on the port side. I need to get the weight off
the tire to fiddle with the brace for the landing gear handle mod. It was
too stiff laterally as I remember from last I did it. I made too fancy of a
brace than the angle stock I had on earlier. That was before the engine was
installed and things were easier then. Thoughts, ideas anyone?

Passed inspection, first flight soon.
