I am ready to mount the landing gear onto my RV-9A . Right now the rear of the fuse is supported by an engine stand rotisserie and the front is resting on a short saw horse (saw pony?) under the center spar. The engine is installed but the wings are off. I am planning to just use an engine hoist on the Lycoming lifting loop to lift the whole front of the plane up enough to install the main and nose gear. Should I be concerned about the strength of the lifting loop or 1/4" bolt holding it on? I would like to hear from others who have done this.
