I saw an ad for a screw jack that fits in the jack point bracket but cannot locate the link.
Anyone have a link?

Alan has it on his website https://antisplataero.com/product/jack-point-tie-down-ring/ is this the one you are looking for Bob?
A screw jack is at Scotts website https://elift.cardmachineworks.com/
Thanks but that isn’t the one I am thinking of. What I saw was a bracket that fit in the place of the jack point arm. The bracket that mounts on the axle. It has a threaded rod and pad to lift the wheel up.
Vlad beat me to it
I would love to see FlyBoy add a bracket like that so I could carry the bolt bracket in the airplane for emergency use and use the jack lift bracket in the hangar. Best of both worlds
That’s it! Unfortunately, it apparently doesn’t work for the -10…
Correct. Only works with the old school round legs as on -4,6,7,8A,9
One might imagine that I have thought the same... Busy fixin' to fling my -8 into the air and keep the headset customers happy. I have some ideas, but nothing imminent.I had one on my 7. Worked great. Sure wish CMW would come up with a design for the 8. Seems like it wouldn't need much of a change to get past the flat gear leg.
This question is asked often. This is my standard response
My solution for jacking my RV10
It was kept in the plane tool kit for field repairs.
I tested it by jacking up one side and moving the wingtips VERY aggressively to simulate changing a tire outside in a tornado! I was unable to knock the plane off the jack as hard as I tried. Even if I was able to knock it off the jack, it would not damage anything.
Feel free to copy this tool. You don't really need to carry the small bottle jack as they are available everywhere.
