Spring Gear Jacking - New approach
For jacking the Grove Spring Gear, obtain a Cessna "U" shaped jack pad which simply slides up the gear leg until it stops, then use the jack on the jack pad jacking point. Note: It is best to line this unit with silicon baffle material prior to sliding up the gear leg, so as not to damage the finish on the gear leg. Source: ACS p/n 12-00837. Approx. $63.00, but works very well. Paul

Re: Spring Gear Jacking - New approach
Here's the picture of it. Seems a bit heavier than is needed for a Kitfox. I wonder if you could build something similar out of Oak (like I made for my jack block). I may try that and post the results in the future. Just looking for inexpensive solutions!

Re: Spring Gear Jacking - New approach
The Feb. 2009 EAA Sport Aviation magazine has plans for jacking pad made of oak. This pad is designed for Cessnas but wouldn't take much to adapt it to a Kitfox.
