Hi All.
My home airport, M01 is going to flood in the next week or so.
My RV-8 is assembled, but not currently flyable (the panel is out, among other things ).
My current plan is to hoist the airplane in a tall hangar (we expect standing water but no current). I discussed this this morning, and Van's is OK with hoisting the airplane from the seatback weldment and the dynafocal ring.
I have available a hoist that is normally used for helicopter maintenance
The logistics of getting the airplane to high ground are otherwise pretty difficult.
If anyone has any experience or insight I'm all ears....
