Doing this alone by hand with a Bogi-Bar is likely to result in tail damage sooner rather than later. The hangar already has an electric winch installed, which is slow enough but has a pretty brutal yank when starting. Im thinking of attaching the winch cable with a bungee to the top of the nose gear leg, and passing the cable through a karabiner in the tail tie-down to pull the tail straight without exerting any axial force on it. I would still need a dolly for the nose wheel or push the tail down to keep the nosewheel off the ground whilst moving. Those options seem complex / impractical. Its nice to work the brain again so long after the build is complete, but if someone has already got a great idea or experience Im happy to borrow! Cheers to all from a rather rainy Switzerland.
