I bought a cheap electric winch from Harbor freight. I hung that from the ceiling of my hangar. Then I made a set of padded, articulated legs that have a cantilever attach point for the winch hook. I slide the legs of the lifting device under the canard and?push the electric winch button. It lifts right out of the aircraft.?
Note:? I also have a nose tie down?right under the winch. Hopefully I don't forget to tie the nose down before I lift out the canard.???
I can take pics?if you like.?

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...
