1.5.4. Jacking the airplane
Because the empty weight of this airplane is relatively low it is easy to lift the airplane using 2
people.
First prepare two suitable jacks or supports to support the aircraft. Aircraft fuselage can be supported
on the places marked by the black triangles in the figure below.
The aircraft should be lifted by the following parts:
•
Press-down on the rear of the fuselage in front of the fin to lift the front and then support
under the firewall.
•
To lift the wings, push on the wings lower surface at the main spar. Do not lift by the wing
tips.
