Cheeeeez! I never thought my original post would generate so many responses. Wish I could take it back so we could focus on RV building. But I guess it’s like saying the f-word in front of your mother – you can’t take it back.
Anyway, I’m finishing up the cockpit wiring and trying to figure out a good way to raise the fuselage (-8A) to put her on the gear. Anyone have words about what worked – and what didn’t? I’m contemplating the use of the engine hoist with a cable wrapped around the roll bar, but that seems too rough and perhaps unstable.

I did it this way, but with the engine mount. Mine was a -6 however. It doesn’t really weight much unless you have the engine mounted. At that point I would use the hook on the top of the engine.

It is not recommended to use the engine hook to lift any more than the engine itself. All the weight is going through one small section of the engine case. Consider the consequences of cracking the case - it may hold or may not but is it worth the risk? Your choice, your money.

Greg Young

You could build a 2X4 rack and lift it using wide ratcheting cargo straps slung under the fuselage. Or you could use the engine hoist and wide cargo straps and lift one side at a time hooking it on the frame one step at a time. Walking it up to the level where you could get the gear on. Just a thought.
Have you got an old swing set?
By the way wash your mouth out with soap.

Sorry you didn't enjoy the ensuing discussion as much as many of us did.
But to get back to your current point, Give that -8 fuse a little more credit.
Lifting it by the roll bar should cause no problem. It didn't when I did mine that way.

Hey Matt, can you stop all of these political drible threads before they

get momentum?

Try your delete key. It works really well for subjects you aren't interested
in or people you don't want to hear from. It has the added advantage of not
restricting those who do want to hear it.

Well, if that's all it takes, then Matt could save a lot of complication by
replacing all of the RV, Yak, etc. lists with a single mailing list. If
something comes along that you don't want, just hit delete.
Let's try and keep the RV-List RV-related.

This thread was dead until it got regurgitated with a plea to end it. (g)
