I have need to lift the airplane to perform some maintenance, i.e. gear leg 

replacement.  What is the best way to do this?

Gene,



Use a floor jack under the desired axle weldment to get the tire about 6"

off the ground. Use a heavily padded saw horse under the wing just inboard

of the aileron. 

Be sure to drain the fuel to make the wing lighter. Or if you have a engine

hoist you can pick the aircraft up by running a sling strap around the spar

box on the side you are working on.

The September 09 issue of the Lightning Newsletter has a great article about jacking up the Lightning.

  

   Have a wonderful day,

Only problem is, many of us can't open many of the newsletters. Sigh....
