See photo. Use long bolts into cowl anchor nuts to secure rope position. Once lifted secure aircraft with sawhorses either side of fu selage under wing spar position. Lower and raise under as need be. Use tow r ope. Takes 30mins.

Motor and prop was installed but weight of plane probably 75% and no wing root fairings. Think with 100% weight it would work fine but you need to distribute weight evenly. I stacked a number of fairly hard rubber foam knee pads to conform to wing. I much prefer dual scissor jack dolly that allows wing rigging, gear retraction and you can even roll plane sideways: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ah1S270Nwg9VxHmeciLuKZ4QTdYy?e=D53TX3 Ron P.

My old silicone lines were all still in good shape and replacing with new silicone. Glad this is not a project that comes around too often!Thanks again for all the help! > Jerry It may be just a little weird but I actually enjoy servicing my engine - the bigger (more complicated) the better. I dont understand - you pumped out the coolant with the hoses you were going to remove/replace in situ - why? Just wondering why you go to the additional expense of installing "silicone lines" every 5 years when ordinary high quality rubber hose would be cheaper and perform the same service (or is this a 914 specific requirement?) -------- 46 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=502428#502428 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
