Time for a visual aid.

Yeah, it's touching


Oh, and I'm not sitting it on rotors, don't worry. I jacked it up so
* It's easier for me to support the transmission and unbolt it
* I could take the wheel off and get the hoist right up next to the wing

This is the hoist I bought mail order sight unseen. "1000kg" capacity (which seemed more than enough). Turns out, capacity 250kg at full extension (Project Farm guy voice, "We're going to test that!"). That's about 550lbs. I figure those figures have to allow a certain amount of "grace" which I'm guessing is up to double. So I don't expect it to fold in two. Just complain. Should be fun trying to nurse it back into place.
