(Semi) Handicap persons access/exit

Still trying to figure a way to get my buddies, with bad knees/back, in and out of the RV side by sides. We are trying to come up with a powered seat lift that we could retrofit to the aircraft.

I have seen some designs that basically use a hoist/harness that can be used at a fixed location but we would like to come up with something self-contained so the $100.00 hamburger runs can be made.

I thought I might poll the collective knowledge of the forum to see if someone has solved the problem with a practical design.

Thanks for the help,

Ron

May need to know tip-up or slider.

Wasn't there somebody who built a crane system in to the structure of the airplane?

Yes - he had it behind the Van's tent at Oshkosh - maybe not last year...2014? Very nice - I'll have to look for our photos to see if it has an N-Number. Clever design, and quality workmanship if I remember correctly.
