I have an RV-8A, but I think this would work on a tail dragger. I bought an
ATV lift on sale at Sears (75). Used some 4 X 4s to build up a carriage to
sit on the lift legs and topped it with a 6 X 6 covered with a clean cotton
towel. I place the cotton covered 6 X 6 directly under the center belly where
the wing spar runs through and slowly lift the plane.
The capacity of the ATV lift is 1500 lbs. so full fuel is still well under
that. You do, however, have to be careful about the side to side balance
when it's up on the lift, but you usually only need the mains up a half inch
or so. I place a padded sawhorse under the tail and if need be, a wood block
under the nosewheel.
I'm too cheap to spend 260.00 on two wing jacks.

I have a pair of the new sheared wing tips for my RV-8A that I would like to swap
for a pair of the old style. I think the sheared type look better on the RV-8
but that the old style look better on the 8A. If anyone is interested in making
a swap please contact me off list at jtb1@prodigy.net or give me a call at
(803) 663-6415.

Jack,
You will probably get several offers, but I have my old-style wing tips
hanging on the wall in my living room since I got them probably four or five
years ago. I bought a set of wingtip tanks that are also the old style and
will be using them instead of the regular old style. I don't know what they
are worth or what the shipping would be, but I haven't worried much about
selling them because they look kind of nice hanging high up on the two-story
wall. Visitors think they are sculpture, but they usually ask about the
completed tail section hanging from the living room ceiling. If you don't
find any closer that someone wants to get rid off, send me a note. I don't
need the ones you have.
