I have had good luck with using the Harbor Freight ATV lift with a bolted on
"box" made of 2 x 6's. You simply slip it under the fuse in the area of the
spar, and lift the whole beast with a few easy pumps. I stole the idea from
the site of a builder in Texas.

I have found a neat tool that allows jacking of the main gear easily.
It's call a Handy Jack and I purchased it from Avery Tools for $129
(part #4665). After taking the wheel fairings off, just simply slide
the Handy Jack in to place and jack the plane up using a floor jack.
Piece of cake!

Anyone have a good method to jack the -9A to service the main wheels?
The
contraption Vans sells is utterly useless.
