    Subject: Suspending the fuselage for removal of the main gear
    From: "jeffbudner" <jeffbudner@gmail.com>
          
      
      Hi All,  I have a need to remove the main gear of my TR-1. In searching the archives,
      I found one thread that suggests supporting the plane at the wing roots.
      I've also considered strapping the fuselage and lifting with a hoist, assuming
      I can rent one that has a long enough arm. Are there other options that I haven't
      considered? 
      
      Thanks much,

      I did the following:
      - traced the airfoil shape from the wing tip on a 2x8 board
      - cut out the airfoil shape
      - used that as a template to cut 3 more 2x8 boards for a total of 4 (2
      under each wing)
      - put foam pool noodles on the boards where they=99ll be in contact w
      ith the
      bottom of the wings
      - built vertical supports out of 2x4=99s
      - lifted the 2x8=99s with an engine hoist and lift straps and attache
      d to the
      vertical supports with long screws (see photo)
      - repeat for other side

      Thanks Doug, for the good idea and posting a pic, that makes for a good model to
      follow.
