So I got the Wip 3000's installed on my 180 after much gnashing of teeth and $$$ of work. Great day until I arrived back at my new rental hangar and was set to push it in the 13 foot high door.....well the landlord was a bit off and my tail beacon adds a couple inches above the advertised 12' 10" for a 180 on 3000's so I miss by about 4 to 6 inches or so.
I am looking at the jack the front method and thought I would ping the board here for tried and true methods of raising the front end to drop the tail the required amount. I have heard of dollies but was looking for examples and thoughts. Wise cracks welcome and damn near expected from this crowd. I have to go over asphalt, which is a bit rough, to get to the concrete hangar floor.
I am trying to limit this project to 3 trips to Home Depot and 2 to Northern Hydraulics. With the price to replace the beacon if I screw this up I am removing Harbor Freight from the equation.
