Any suggestions for good/safe ways to lift the fuse to get the main gear legs installed? I have a 2-ton engine hoist, but wanted to see what other builders have done. Thanks!

I used two RV builders (engine mount was in place).

I put some of the wing bolts in, along with the steel splice plates. Then I took a long piece of gas pipe and stuck it through the spar box. Had a friend grab one side and I grabbed the other and we just put it on some tall jackstands.

Mike,

Are you building a -9 or a -9A?

For my -9, I used an engine hoist.
