I have 2 heavy duty saw horses built to Vans specs and I have no problem getting the front one in place. I just lay a blanket over the tailcone close to the tail feathers and lay my upper torso on it while my wife puts the saw horse in place, then gently let it down. Done. Lifting the tail is a whole other issue. I'm not sure what the weight is, but it's just a bit much for this aging body to hold up long enough for her to properly place that rear saw horse. There has got to be a better way! My search for a jack that would work with the tail tie down ring and have enough travel to accomplish this has come up empty. So, how are you guys lifting that tail??
Thanks.. Tom... It sure is HE11 getting old.
