(To get the nose wheel off the ground)< There are three approaches that I have seen and all work well. 1. Remove the cowling and use an overhead lift tied to the engine lifting strap to get the nose wheel off the ground. 2. Use the tail tie down or an epenage strap and secure to a floor tie. 3. Make a wing cradle and jacking system. This is a neat solution since no engine lift or tail weight is required. However this contraption is expensive plus there is the storage problem. I use method number 1 because my hangar has a ceiling track with chain lift tram.
