After a lot of thinking I decided to abandon my original lifting eye plan and hade a pair of lifting brackets like Atlee Dodge sells. I got two pieces on 304 SS bar, 3/16 x 1 inch. I drilled a couple of 3/8ths holes in the end so I could position them once I put the twist in them. Using a vise, crescent wrench and my OA torch I heated the bars and put a 90deg twist in them, making sure the start of the bottom twist wasn’t going to interfere with the fuselage wing mount or the wing spar. Once satisfied with that, I put them in place and cut holes into the upper wing fairings to accommodate them poking out. A line was drawn at the base so I could determine where to drill the upper hole in the lifting bracket.
