 |
|
I need some recommendations as to the best way to elevate my completed RV7 fuselage so that I can align the gear leg fairings. The weight should be around 600lb. Is there a better way than jack stands under the center section and weighting the tail?
Thanks!

How did you get the fuselage on the saw horses? Did you elevate the tail then physically lift on side at a time and insert the horses?

I rigged a motorcycle jack under the center section. That worked well for me.

Transmission jack works really nice for that but you still have to tie the tail down.
