REFLECTOR: Canard ideas

[Jim Agnew]

Get two canvas/nylon/ETC. log carriers and place one on each side of the fuselage and use a Y shaped lifting line going to each set of carrier handles.  The carriers will spread the load and should not damage the canard.  You can even add some padding to the inside of the carriers if you like.

Larry,

My dog house has a hatch in it, so I put a 2x4 inside the hatch opening and position a rope around it so that the canard balances fore and aft and left and right while it is being lifted from above with a pully.

Good day all,

Years ago I destroyed my left elbow in a fall, the arm only has about 50 to 60 % strength and somewhat limited range. Working by myself all the time I am having one heck of a time lifting the canard out of the airframe...anyone come up with a Gizmo that worked well? Tried pulleys form above but I am gonna bang up the canard trailing edge too much....any ideas would be appreciated...Thank you all in advance...
Larry...
