Dean, In the past, with my RV8A, I have just put a blanket on the horizontal stab and placed a 40lb sandbag on each side, while hanging on to prevent the tail from falling. You can then lower the tail to a support, with the nose wheel off the ground. Worked for me......

If you are on a concrete slab you can drill a hole and sink a bolt anchor and an eye bolt in the concrete. Use a retching cargo strap hooked to the tie down and pull the tail down, or just hang a bunch of barbell weights to the cargo strap hooked to the tie down.
