I recently ordered some wing jack points from Van's. I
put 50 lbs. on my hor. stabilizer,screwed the jack
points in,set wheel chocks,jacked up one leg at a
time,greased the bearings,put in down,jacked up the
other leg,ect. No problem. It was an RV-6. I used the
wing tie down posts for jacking the plane.
