Looking for some pictures/examples of how to block the tail off the ground for better access to the belly of a tail dragger.
Let's see what you have...
I'm pretty nervous about this. I've had an RV7 fall off while trying to do a W&B, luckily no damage. Then I read the recent RV-10 that fell off the jack. As someone mentioned the risk of damage goes way up if something happens.
I make sure that the main wheels are chocked because if it were to rotate around and the tailwheel to fall off the ______ then again, damage is going to be possibly bad!
Here is just one small example:
Oh, and bonus would be blocking the tail off the ground without using the tailwheel so you could work on the tailwheel itself.
