    Ken, do you lift both wheels at the same time with this set up? I assume you block it if you do? I was wondering how you stop it tottering from side to side.
    cheers

    I was doing this to put casters under each tire. That way i could move the plane sideways in the garage. If i placed the floor jack just right, both wheels come up the same. If im off a little it leans sideways and i can just lift the low side by hand to slide the casters under. BTW, im doing this with the wings folded.
