Hi Guys,

I finally broke down and got the Harbor Freight lift table to jack up the Onex for maintenance in the hangar.

Ref.: https://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-hydraulic-table-cart-60438.html.

Worked perfect in conjunction with a proper height saw horse.

With the saw horse slid far enough forward that the airplane is a tad nose down all of the lifting load is on the landing gear with the table never touching the bottom of the plane.

Thanks for the suggestion Scott.

How well does it work with one wing folded up and the other extended? Any chance it tends to tip toward the extended wing?
