I don't plan on keeping my borrowed engine hoist around. Now I will have to clean out the jack pad holes I inadvertantly filled with micro.... However, I go down swinging, so for those of you squeamish about lifting the airplane at the engine, consider lifting at the mount crossover bar. The load profile looks nothing like a high negative g maneuver because the wing forces are absent. Regards, Ed de Chazal
