fugio ergo sum
This is fresh in my mind because I changed tires today.
I am always amazed at how much the fuselage twists when using a wing jack. When the tip-up canopy is closed but not latched, this is obvious by the 3/8 inch or so gap that appears under one side of the canopy at the rear. Although I doubt if that is near enough to break a canopy I always make it a point to keep the canopy unlatched when using the wing jack so as not to twist it unnecessarily.
It doesn't look like the airplane would take anything like 6 gs if they were all on one side.
