Question: Will there be a tendency for the steel plate/nut to want to pivot on that #8 screw? If I see it right, there will be a platenut on the top side of the steel plate and that plate will be countersunk on the bottom for the cover plate's dimple. Seem like this might create the opportunity for the steel plate/nut to want to pivot, considering frequent use and vibration. Perhaps just another preflight check point.

I offer another option. Drill the welded plate and install a nutplate. Then you can screw on a #8. I think this allows easier adjustment when and if needed. Just my .02 worth.

It's time for the it's first Annual since I've owned it and the local A&P at our field will be doing it. He asked me about jacking points for lifting the plane to service the landing gear. I've looked through the builders manual and have found several references where you're instructed to jack the plane up while installing and adjusting landing gear and such but haven't come across anything specifically about where to place the jack stands when lifting the plane when it's at it's finished weight. Can you use the tie-down threaded points or do you have to fabicate some kind of a padded cradle or saddle for under the wing and get it as close to the fuselage as possible? Thanks in advance.

I think the attach point of the clevis end and the two penetration points where the cable passes through would be enough to hold everything in its place. The rotation point may be on the vertical axis ie. to loosen the jamb nut, however I do not believe this will happen. I have not installed the cable attach bolt yet however this is just a talking point.

I use a piece of 3/8 NC all-thread about 5" long with a nut on it and thread the all-thread into the tie down about 1.5" with the nut set about 1/4" below the skin. My homemade jack uses a piece of 3/8" sch 40 pipe sliding inside a piece of 3/4'" pipe that is welded to the jack frame. Note that when the all-thread is viewed from the front of the plane, it is not verticle but assumes the angle of the wings diehedral plus 90 degrees. I tilt my entire jack so that this initial angle is accounted for. When you jack the wing about a foot, which is required to get a tire off the floor, that angle increases another 3 or 4 degrees. Make sure that there is enough slop in your system to accomodate this angle change. You do not want a failure of this jack to result in a hole in the wing and possibly severe damage to the aileron controls.
