Rocketeers:
A few questions for the wise:
How do you jack a rocket with solid axle stubs? Can you put an engine hoist
on something - mount, engine case, ??? and raise the plane that way? I need
to install my brakes and final install my wheels, brake lines, etc.
For a forward facing Bendix-type injector, do you replace the studs with
short bolts as the elbow is much smaller than stock and doesn't allow the
cast-to-elbow studs room to come through (front 2).
Aloha,
Russ
HR!!
still working on it!

We have a guy at APV that has a set of "tall" jack stands. They have a
rounded recess in the top of the cylinder plunger that is the same as the
tie down rings. Raise the wings slowly with two guys BUT tie the tail down
FIRST. We used a milk carton full of rocks and some lead weights and then
tied the tail to it. It takes two jacks but we were able to work on both
wheels with a single lift. Stands have a large square base and about 24-30"
tall, just enough the get them under the rings with a coupla inches to
spare. The owner of the jacks has a Beechcraft Sierra. Do Not Archive.
