A strap was wrapped around the bent prop blades and hub (spinner removed) and lifted by the usual tow truck. I didn't care much about the blades, they are trash and the crank will be taken out of the engine and magnafluxed. I did have a man at each wing tip to protect against rolling it. All very embarassing since this was done in front of the Sedona Airport bar and restaurant.

How did you lift the bird to extend the gear?  To what did you attach the
hoist?


The tail was supported by the extension of a flatbed tow truck, a 6x6 and the damp crying towel to protect the finish.  A strap was wrapped around the bent prop blades and hub (spinner removed) and lifted by the usual tow truck.  I didn't care much about the blades, they are trash and the crank will be taken out of the engine and magnafluxed.  I did have a man at each wing tip to protect against rolling it.
