We are looking to put a 1-26 on a lift or hoist. Its a steel building with a very beefy structure.
This is commonly done in Europe. Has anybody experience and sketches/pictures/BOM for such a construction and is willing to share?
Thanks.

The MN Soaring Club at Stanton hangs a bunch of gliders using electric chain winches and a custom made cradle that fits over the top of the gliders with hooks at the front and back that hold web straps that go under the fuselage in front of and behind the wings. Properly positioned hanging sandbags over each wing keeps the glider level after it is winched into place.

They use this system for a K-21, K-8, and other gliders.
