Default Hanging for storage wing attached advise

I need to get my plane off the work stand. I have the room to hang it from the shop ceiling. (small block and tackle already rigged) I would like to hang with wing attached to get it out of harms way too.

Do you hang them 1) by the nose (prop adapter looks like an option); 2) upside down by the landing gear (may look funny but attachment seems OK; 3) rig a harness form 1" soft webbing and suspend from wings near fuse (would look good but does it screw up the wing)

Plane is a UStik 120 and weighs about 13# +/-.

Figure MinnFlyer probably has a couple of neat diagrams setting in his files!
