Default RE: Hanging Plane on Wall (stupid question)

The engine manufacturer will clearly state in the manual to hang the plane nose down. The front bearing will keep lube on it this way. Always nose down. Dont fear the weight of the plane hanging on the horz. stab. When you run your plane on the ground and stand in front of the stab to run up the engine, there is more force being applied to the stab than if where just hanging by gravity.
