I would have asked the good Doc but I have been bugging him a lot lately. Thanks, Thom Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

I've seen lifting rigs with (4) staps, one per corner. That would seem to be the most stable way to lift one of these.

With the weight evenly distributed, there should be no danger of breaking the lower cowling castings.

And yes, the Dr. has been quite busy. I made a run down there last week, and he darned-near worked me to death! But it were fun!!

Cheers........ed
