Added a tension strap, so the collar can't slide up the jack case.
Seems to work fine. I didn't shove the airplane around real hard (no matter what you've heard, I'm not insane), but it felt quite stable, and I was climbing in and out all day.

Granted, I have an A model, but here's what I did:
It's basically just some concrete blocks on a four wheel dolly. I did add a piece of 3/4" plywood to be able to put an eyebolt in the center. The nice thing is that I can roll it anywhere in the hanger. Although I will have to admit, I'm lazy and it usually just stays under the tail all the time.
