I recommend not lowering the wheel until the wings are on. If the
hydraulic jack lowers itself, and I know it happens, there's nothing to
prevent the fuselage rolling over.


Also, with a suitable bar in the wing-pin hole they can easily be fully
engaged once they're close. It seriously reduces the number of trips to
the wing tips.
