				I just bought a 1946 415-C.  Is it correct to say that there are no hardpoints on the aircraft to allow you to properly jack it up?  Other aircraft I have owned had hardpoints under the wings for this purpose.

				It is covered in the service manual, for the mains you can put a steel rod thru the main gear pivot and lift with a jack. For the nose you can place bags of sand on the horizontal and weigh the tail down.
