Default RV JACK ??
Two friends & I want to obtain a jack that will work for the 7, 7A & 10. Prefer one we can carry in the aircraft. Has anyone used this one I found at Aircraft Spruce.....12-01751-RV HI JACK LIGHT WEIGHT-$119.75. Is it going to hamper brake work? Appreciate any feedback.

I use the RV lift jack sold in Van's catalog:

http://www.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/...oduct=axlejack

It assembles and breaks down quickly and its individual parts are small enough to be stowed inside its included cloth sack in the aircraft. The jack is not designed for use on the 10 though. Since its design appears somewhat similar in form and function to the 12-01751 linked here:

http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...ges/HiJack.php

it just might be prudent to give Spruce a call and make certain it can handle the 10 before committing to a purchase.

I bought this jack from Avery Tools and am very happy with it.
Very simple operation.
