Does anyone have a suggestion on how to support a RV-8 airframe in a way that would
allow removal of the gear legs?

I've thought about lifting the tail to level flight, and building some type of
a fixture that would lift it at the spar carry-through.

Ideas?

Doug,
I have read on the list that some of the guys screw in a fitting of their
choice into the wing tiedown socket and jack from there.

Someone needs to come up with a better mousetrap on this one.
Cheers, Pete
