 Posted: Sat Jul 21, 2012 8:48 am Post subject: Jacking A model tail |
 |
|
My 6A is having its engine and prop worked on due to a tornado driving the hangar door in to my plane.
Meanwhile, with the engine out - I can take care of some of the things on my to-do list that have been pre-empted by flying.
Re-doing my maingearleg fairings and main wheel pants are at the top of the list. With the engine out, it is currently resting on a sawhorsebelow one of the tail-cone bulkheads.
My question: Can I get one of those tripod jacks like I have for jacking the wing and use it on the tail tie-down point? This will allow me to 'three-point' the plane while I measure and re-fit.
Thanks,
Ralph

Typically a tail stand is used for holding up the tail. Go to www.aircraftjacks.com and look up tail stand under products....

Another possibility is to remove your tail tie-down eye and replace it with threaded rod with matching threads. Drill a hole in the sawhorse, and insert the bolt in the hole. You could add a nut and washers to the end to adjust it up or down...
