This is me now using a 5 gallon B ucket full of Speedy Dry...Need to be able to hung the tail wheel freely, Secure the aircraft leveled and work.....
I use an automotive engine crane with a wide nylon strap around the rear of the fuselage. Longer the strap the less it will squeeze the tail. I park my plane for the winter with the tail on a 5 gal plastic bucket with a larger piece of plywood between the tailwheel and bucket. Mice can't climb the outside of the bucket!
