I'm going to construct some big wooden blocks for stability to rest the main gear axles on when I remove the wheels for bearing maintenance. I'm not at the hangar to take measurements, and I want to put the blocks together before I go out.
Can someone tell me the nominal distance of the main gear axles from the floor when the plane is sitting on normally inflated tires (RV-9A)? I need to know how high to make these blocks so they will just slide under the axles when I jack the plane up so the tires just clear the ground.
Thanks!
Phil
