hi all,
I can't seem to find a way to get a jack under the gear leg of my RV-8.
There isn't enough area at the bottom of the gear leg for a floor jack.
I can't get it close enough. Is it possible to jack under the wing?
What have you all done?

Here's one idea:

I used a bottle jack suitably raised to do the same thing, but making a 
sturdy stand as shown is the better way to go.
