What is the best and correct way to jack an RV 7/9 (taily) to fix a puncture?????
Sorry if it a silly question.

Bill-How does this attach/pick up the gear leg? Can't tell from Avery's site.
I simply lift the aircraft with an engine hoist tied to the engine mount.
Mel, I've heard from a couple A&Ps locally that lifting by the engine hoist (when the engine is attached to the airplane) is not a good idea because of the possibility of failure from the extra weight of the attached airplane. At least one of them described having seen such a failure. Since hearing from these guys, whenever I lift the airplane by the engine, I wrap lift cables around the front of the engine plus the engine mount.

There is a cable that wraps around the gear leg, just after it bends horizontally. You can see the cable in the picture in the link included in my post. Just don't wrap the cable around your brake line.Bill-How does this attach/pick up the gear leg? Can't tell from Avery's site.
