I need to jack up the RV-6 to set the gear fairings. The plane is pretty much complete, but still in the garage, so wings not attached. I have been using the engine hoist to lift it, but that won't let me hold it level laterally, as is necessary for getting the fairings done. I need to add supports and shims under the fuse to get it to stay level.
before the engine was on, I just used a saw horse under the spar area, but now concerned with the extra weight of the engine. Can I just use 2X4's under the lower fuse skin at the spar location? Will that take the weight?
Thanks for your assistance here.
