[Public-List] Engine Installation Update

[Steve Brownlee]

Derrick,

Thanks for posting the pictures.  I may be able to use the ideas you had
when I have to do my engine.  Hopefully not for many years, though.

Subject: [Public-List] Engine Installation Update

Hello Everyone!
  Well, the engine is now aboard! Things went a lot smoother than I had
anticipated! My friend and I brought the engine down last night and left
it on a skid in the cockpit. No fancy rigging or what have you, just
manpower. We lifted it from the dolly, up onto the winch pad, and then
down onto the pallet. Today I went down and built a stand to support the
boom so that the rig did not have to take all of the strain. The load
was split about 50/50 between the rig and the stand. Everything went
smooth as can be, and I was able to get the engine into position
(roughly) by myself. I don't remember who it was who had posted the idea
of using the block and tackle to pull the engine back into position, but
thank you, it works amazingly!
  For pictures go to

  and you can see how I set it all up.
  Don't think I would have made it half this far without all of the help
from everyone on the list, thank you to all! I can almost feel the
steady vibrations beneath my feet....:-)
