A safe and inexpensive way to lift an aircraft is to use (3) 24" 3 ton hydraulic jacks from Harbor Freight Tools (Item # 36468-$43.00 each). Make a 3-legged bracket on a 3/8" steel plate with a ring at the top that will hold the jack barrel in place and keep the jack from tipping. Make a carpet padded 4x16" wooden plate to fit the ram on the top of the jack. You can lift the plane by placing a jack under each wing spar or next to the gear legs and under the fuselage just behind the fire wall. You will use these jacks the rest of the airplane's life a number of times. This is a wise investment.
