There is a nice little tool you might find useful. It is basically a piece
of flat stock with two bends in it.
The lower bend has a "round hole with one side cut out" so it will slip
around the spark plug just above the hex nut portion, below the wire boot.
Then a long flat, followed by a bend in
I thought the challenge was still open
Clue: When you pull the rope, the knot releases completely and your rope
slips out of the tail wheel cleanly... as long as the aircraft pulls on the
knot... it only gets tighter, can't slip.
I'm not sure I can do a verbal picture with any success.

A long while back, someone recommended Esco 10498 jack stands. I looked
at them on-line and then bought a pair from Amazon
(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019JVIPM?ref_=pe_527950_33920250=1).
Here are some photographs comparing them to the FLAPS jack stands that I
have had for awhile. They seem much

I need expert advice. I had a terrible time removing the spark plug
