First let me say the lift works as advertised. The only complaint I have is the crappy customer support that you get, in that when I arranged the shipping, I was very, very adamant that I receive the lift when promised. This is important because you need at least two helpers (all day), and a rented fork lift with an extension. This is after you have previously prepared the hangar (several days for mine). After repeated assurances that mine will ship as promised, I was told at the last minute that I won't receive it until the following week, because basically I was de-prioritized by a multiple FBO order. The FBO I would assume have employees and a forklift available during any business day, unlike a one man show like mine. This really irritated me, and if you buy one, be sure and remind them of my displeasure. By the way I have never heard back from them since they have been paid. Lousy customer support for a $14,000 specialty purchase. As for the lift, I would not recommend the $500 castor option, as once the lift is installed you don't need the wheels, and you can rent them for initial positioning. I had visions of wheeling this thing around the airport to another hangar if I ever needed too, but the reality is you would have to dis-assemble it to move it anyway, as it barely moves around on my perfectly flat, smooth, concrete floor. My vision of rolling out the hangar, and down the asphalt ramp without tweeking the lift is a pipe dream. I bought both the nose and tailwheel hardware, and either the 8 or 10 can go on the lift. The 8 is difficult to get on single handed, as the tailwheel needs to go up the ramp, be secured to the dolly, and rolled back before you can determine if the mains are in the exact position they need to be in, so as not to damage the wheelpants, as there is only 1 inch clearance on each side of the pant. I have the painted lines, etc., but getting it exactly right usually takes several tries. With a helper pushing, and pulling on the prop, it's not bad going back and forth up the ramp until you get it just right, but solo it's exhausting, and potentially dangerous, as the tailwheel can jump the sides of the ramp, and fall, which would cause major damage to the tailcone. I won't even try it solo anymore, as I have had a couple of close calls. Get a helper! If you think I'm directionally challenged, mark a spot on a ramp, and pull your taildragger back by the tail and try to get the mains on exactly the mark, and you'll see what I'm talking about. I think wider wheel cradles may be an option now, if so, buy them! Pushing a nosewheel back on the rig should be much easier, as you can just drive the mains right into the slots, but you will need to come in at angle with the 10, as the horizontal stab will hit the vertical column if you came strait back. The 8 has since been moved into another hangar, as it was not getting flown regularly because I'm too lazy to roll the 10 fuselage, all the tables, etc. outside, lower the 8, replace the 10 stuff, go fly, and repeat the process to put it all away. Just a parked airplane under the lift would be easy to move, however it can't be a taildragger, unless you had enough room in front of the lift, as the tailwheel has to go over the horizontal support leg of the lift. The lift has proved very handy as a lifting devise for the 10 project. I use it to lift, and flip the 10 fuselage which is mounted to a steel rack I made. This way I work on the 10 in a comfortable position. I just installed tunnel parts while sitting in a chair, with the tunnel at eye level. Sweet!

These are only used for rolling the skins I think so would some angle from the aviation dept of Lowes suffice? Looks like 3/4 X 3/4 angle, maybe .125 thickness but I can't find the answer in the plans.

IIRC I didn't have any other angle shortage, and I'm almost done with the fuselage, so it must have been for that purpose.
