RV Jack Points (RV-8)
RV Jack Points (RV-8)
Add a convenient and simple way to jack up your landing gear for conditional inspections or tire and brake maintenance.
Please note: This model is designed specifically to fit the slab-style gear on the Van’s RV-8 (it will not fit the RV-8A or other RVs with round gear). However, it may fit some other aircraft with slab or Grove-style landing gear, such as the Extra 300 and One Design.
Installation is simple. A small and light base plate installs on the gear, then an adapter arm is easily added when you need to jack up the plane. The adapter arm gives you a sturdy and flat point to use with a scissor or floor jack to raise the gear.
For more information on the installation process, find the full instructions here.
Kit ships with all necessary hardware and includes a base plate for each landing gear, along with one lifting arm.

I have not had time to install these yet, however the quality of workmanship looks to be excellent. I have friends who have these on their RV's and speak highly of them.
