  It consists in lifting a wing until one wheel is  off the ground and you
can see how much stress this takes off the gear.  Not good if you have a
strained back .

 

Can you really do that?  I estimated that with ½ tank of fuel I’d have to
lift about 200# at the end of the wing to lift the wheel.  Maybe my plane is
a lot heavier than yours, or you are a lot stronger than I.
