Whilst refurbing my aircraft, I wanted to remove the wheels to clean out
the drums. I went to jack it on a block of wood bolted in between the
WAFs. It started to tip forward. Hence asking the question.
The CG may be a little bit further aft with the wings attached, but not
a lot, so the advic

I use the same method on the Stang which has basically the same type of
gear. I use a piece of 2 X 4 on each side of the gear and 2 C clamps. I
cut the end of one of the 2 X 4s at an angle so it is parallel with the
ground
( I've seen incarnations of this whereby a piece of
steel is
welded up at the proper angle with something sticking
down for the jack
to
catch, is clamped in position the same way, and then
jacked up. )

The best way I've found is to use a C-clamp to clamp to the gear leg at some
convenient height, padded by a piece of plywood on each side (a
plywood/gearleg sandwich). The the jack hooks the head of the C-clamp and
you jack it up. I've seen incarnations of this whereby a piece of steel is

I took Tony Bengalis advice as suggested in his Aircraft Construction
book. I built in jacking hard points bolted to the inner WAF of the
stub wing.
The hard point is a permanent part of the stub wing and faired smooth
with the lower wing surface. Each hard point has a 10-32 stop nut
