If you came up with a structure that had the aircraft still sitting on its landing gear (or with brackets of some sort attached to the axles) you'd have to expect it wouldn't do any damage to the aircraft. An arrangement that somehow attached to the upper landing gear mount points probably would work OK as well, but would be much harder to implement without at least minor (repairable) damage.
You could potentially hang it from the wing attach fittings and tailwheel as well. There's a gap between the outer wing panel and the centre section (which may have a gap seal over it) where a cable could be attached. The front WAFs are probably pretty close to the centre of gravity though, so a sandbag somewhere down the back might be a good idea in that case. Also keep in mind that the composite construction doesn't age well if it's situated outdoors.
