If you are going to park a taildragger below your lift, you may consider this mod. The hardware that holds the plane is a trip hazard in the hangar, so I would raise the lift to park under it. A nosewheel would be no problem, but a taildragger will need a ramp to get the tailwheel aft and the plane fully into the hangar. I built this sturdy one with a rotating fixture to allow you to turn the tailwheel 180 degrees to be able to pull the plane back off the lift easily. The best way to get the tailwheel on the ramp is to tie a rope around the tailwheel mount and pull it up the ramp. I later added a small winch to pull it up and on the ramp.
I had no problem putting the RV10 on the lift. The tailwheel support beam on the lift fits right into the tailwheel ramp when lowered.
