| Subject: | Lifting the Europa |
Hey Guys and Gals,
When folks talk about lifting a Europa by the engine mount are they
referring to the mount forward of the lord mounts or aft of the lord
mounts? I need to lift my Classic monowheel for maintenance in the
garage without the wings on it. I am thinking about having a welded
stand with the hydraulic jack added like someone on the forum made for
lifting, but the exhaust pipe is in the way on the port side. I need to
get the weight off the tire to fiddle with the brace for the landing
gear handle mod. It was too stiff laterally as I remember from last I
did it. I made too fancy of a brace than the angle stock I had on
earlier. That was before the engine was installed and things were easier
then. Thoughts, ideas anyone?
Troy Maynor
Monowheel Classic UK120
Passed inspection, first flight soon.

If you still have the dummy spar, perhaps you could make/get made a steel
tube with the correct spacing to replicate the main spar setup, and jack
from there

I just had concerns about asymetric loading of the mount itself, given the
mount is designed for a "tension" load pulling forward under normal
flight conditions, but given it has to support the weight of the engine at
8G ultimate load which is about 600kg depending on engine choice, you
are probably correct.
