A follow-up on this...since this is to install the wheelpants and gear leg fairings, the aircraft needs to be in level flight position. What's the procedure used to get to this attitude? It's one thing to jack up the front of the plane this way, but there is the added complication of getting the plane longitudinally level (and keeping it that way during installation)...
I'll be the guy helping with this, so I'm following this thread with a keen eye towards *not* doing something that creates an unstable (and possibly even dangerous) situation.
(As an aside, this is one time I get to tell my taildragger friend he should have built an -A model

since it was considerably easier with my -7A LOL!)
