Geez Brian, don’t stop us. We can beat a dead horse a really long time. [emoji23]
Thats funny !! I was thinking the same thing. We might even drift off on a totally unrelated subject .

Tim, careful with those cable clamps. Saddle always goes on the "live" leg......
Took a fair bit longer than planned, but I finally got the skis on today. Thanks for the help, gentlemen! Will post a picture or three once I get out.
Seen all SC photos here....
Cessnas are a bit of a different story.
I've made & used a couple different "jack points" which slide onto / clamp onto the gear leg,
and a bottle jack or floor jack is used to hoist the airplane up.
None were all that satisfactory.
What I do now is use a nylon bike-binder strap as a choker around the gear leg,
and raise it up with the engine hoist I finally broke down and bought last year.
Works pretty good, and no scuffing the paint on the gear leg or having to knock the tapered jackpoint off with a hammer.
$15 Wally world bottlejack works fine on the cub gear. Little scissor Jack on champ gear
couple 4x4s and 2x6's come in handy for cribbing when going from bushwheels to straight skis.
I really like Glenns idea for my main hangar. may have to build one.
S2D Can you show me how the dolly's where made I need to make a set , in order to get my plane out of the hanger I will post some pics soon with my clearance issues
