I can hardly believe it has been almost a year since airworthiness and that I have to get ready to do an annual next month!
Part of the annual will require inspection of the gear and for this the whole plane needs to be off the ground. I have a jack system to lift individual wheels up, but would like to build the heavy stands and use the method shown in the Maintenance Manual:
Has anyone built the stands and used this method? How much effort is required to lift the tail to put in the stand below the rear wing-spar receptacles? The reason I ask is because the both of us who will be doing the work are geezers (fairly good shape tho').
