Hi everybody,
my question might be a bit funny as it is very basic...
A friend of mine owns a L-4 from 1944. He doesn't like his airplane being moved around the hangar or our grass airfield by pulling and pushing on the wing struts (original, thin struts).
We handle our Pa-18-95 exactly this way. Pulling and pushing on the wing struts where the jury struts meet them. We have univair struts.
I don't like people moving the airplane by pushing on the horizontal tail. I am mainly concerned about the jack screw of the trim machanism.
Now I am wondering where to put my hands when moving the airplane by hand? Any recommendations out there?
Thank you so much!
