What methods have been used to lift the fuselage and get it on its gear? Jacks? straps? etc?

Men! "Lift, hold...higher...a little to the left...lower...hold..."
We put a table under the tail and jacked up the front with a board under
the spar center section.

I just went through that one last weekend – alone! Mine was on a pallet with numerous sections of the packing foam (Vans supplied) between the pallet and fuselage. I was able to lift the left side at enough angle to slide the gear leg in (and out and back in after de-burring). Careful not to roll over enough to wind up in the floor on the side J. For the right side - old fashion jacks and blocks – but that’s a little scary alone. I definitely recommend assistance. A lift to the ceiling would have been way to easy.

How high do you lift it? I have a bigger stronger partner than myself and a 2 ton hydraulic crane so it sounds like will not be a problem if I get some rated straps and use the crane.

I braced the tail on a sawhorse and lifted the front of the
fuselage myself while my wife shoved pallets under it. Then
after the gear was on, I lifted it while she pulled the pallets.
You may want 2 people up front if you're not into future
back surgery.

I used a carton of beer ... to entice a few friends to help lift the fuse onto tables!

Oh, by the way, we put the gear on before joining the tailcone. With the main gear on (just gearlegs, not wheels) and the engine mount on the floor, it makes it VERY NICE to work on the brake and fuel systems as well as the rudder pedals. It also makes it nice in joining the tailcone.

This sounds like a good way to join the half. I plan on doing it. As to the question about putting the legs on I have found this hydraulic cart from harbor freight a great tool in working on the fuselage. It cost a couple hundred bucks but it has been very useful around the shop for other things, like moving a heavy metal bending tool. It is easy to move around and adjust to the right height and is narrow enough and makes a pretty stable platform. I can see it would be better with the gear legs on when crawling around in it to make it stable. Check it out on my site it is about 16 pictures down the page at http://www.etigerrr.com/Fuselage/section_28_fwd_fuse_ribsP28_16.htm

Thanks for the replies. I expect to install the engine mount and use my 2 ton hydraulic crane to lift the front. will support the tailcone. expect to put wheels brakes on the gear legs before installing the legs.
