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.
All very embarassing since this was done in front of the Sedona Airport bar and restaurant.
