I’m Hooked!!
Nothing to me is more fun than devising and implementing a solution. I was using garden tree straps to hoist my Ka-32. I found some coated hooks at a truck supply and fashioned this disk to evenly distribute the load. Now I can just lower the disk assembly below the spindles and raise it to have the hooks latch on. Fun with plywood!

Nice!!!
Given the size of such heli, the manufacturer of your rotor head could propose a "lifting eye" part, which is temporary installed for lifting operation (screwed in for AS350).
Matthias no longer manufactures these! So it’s on me! Also, I think there are only two of us on the planet who have hoists for our models 😆😆
Cool
