...and I searched the archives and only 1 reference to the -10. My concern is that the tiedowns are so far out and I wonder if it's acceptable to jack there?
Thanks,
Thanks,
Or, if you feel you must level the plane first, find the low side and roll the wheel onto a pad of plywood or particle board; use wheel inflation to fine adjust. Fore/aft can be set by jacking the tail or putting a pad under the nose wheel.
While you can safely jack the plane on the tiedown pads, I wouldn't trust it not to affect the wing dihedral and incidence slightly; better to keep the wings at 1G load.
I can't imagine how you will be able to adjust the wings on a -10. All of the spar attach holes are pre-drilled. Even the aft spar attach hole.![]()
