REFLECTOR: RE: MT GOT BACK TO ME

[Jack Sheehan]

Tom,
Even with a good set of jacks accidents can still happen. here is a 
drawing of a set of jacks I made I don't remember but someone 
probably gave me the idea. You can get the hydraulic bottle jacks 
pretty cheap in the auto parts store and it only took a few hours to 
make the stands out of some plywood and a 4x4. I use an adjustable 
saw horse under the front. You want to make sure that when you 
measure for the height you do that after inserting the saw horse 
under the nose at the canard bulkhead first since the strakes will be 
a little lower. with my jacks I have about 8 inches of travel and you 
need all of that to get the wheels about 2 inches off the ground
