Could someone provide the distance between the two lifting eyes on the wing top of a late model M7 (2000 - on)
My AP has to make up a lift frame to pick up a M7 that is damaged in a remote location .
Since it is not located here, we don't have any way of measuring it.
The distance from inside of eye bolt to inside of eyebolt would be most helpful
Thanks !!
lifting dimension needed

Thanks Jeremy but I talked to him, and he plans to modify an existing lift bar he uses to lift C185 and C206 seaplanes, and it doesn't use any chain or cable from the bar to the plane lifting eye -- just a "Quick link" (chain splicing link that screws together for the bar-to-lifting eye connection. Hence, the exact dimension is needed.
(I tried calling Maule several times in the last few days to get this info, but never got anything but an answering service)
Thanks for the info on the rear needing to be held down. Any idea approximately how much weight is required -- as I can see where possibly a bucket with sand or rocks in it could be used to negate having another "warm body" necessary on the trip. From the pictures, the plane has a 3 blade prop
