My idea of jacking the plane by lifting at the engine, is only a temporary
measure since, as someone rightly pointed out, you need something that works
when you're finished.  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.
