Who can forget hanging off the end of a six foot scaffolding bar when tightening up the prop nut because you didn't have a multiplier. And taking a sledge hammer to the prop dome spanner!
As for undoing/fastening that forward centre carburettor nut or locking the magneto attachment inboard nuts downroute on wobbly ladders when it's pouring with rain or blowing a gale...

I'm still doing it for a living.
