lifting a ragwing and what do I have now

Post by russ murri »

I am in the prosess of installing 180 legs on my ragwing. How is the best way to get her off the ground? One more question, I have been told that if your stock legs had a hole in them for the step they where the same as or are 140 legs . I don't have a step but there appears to be a hole in them with a thru pin in the hole for clamp for brake line. MY serial number is 18419

Remove the cowling and attach a Nylon strap to both upper engine mounts, and lift with an engine crane. Steady the wings, and after it is off the ground place tie downs on the wings to stop the swaying.
